good idea but...
you need to make the game more sensitive to what is being typed. I had to mash the space bar several times to get the game to register it (this problem showed up with other keys but not as frequently). If you're going to build a game about typing speed, it is inappropriate to hinder the typist with this issue.
Uhm.. No
4 for originality, but I don't see this catching on. Maybe if the essey were slightly more interesting, dirty words and stuff that distract the users, or some hot pics in the background uncovered as you type, but still. No. And the biggest reason I stopped when I did was because there was no mute button.
Good Concept
Really its a good game a solid game. It simply lacks that extra punch that makes every idea all the better. It seemed more like an experiment than anything else. I don't doubt that it earned its front page status :D
Super Original
I'll give you that, but i lacks zazz. I would appreciate a sequel with bonuses for paragraph completion, exploding words, or a tiny guy who torches the lines with a flame thrower. IT JUST NEEDS MORE ZAZZ!!! ya know? ><
Impossible
The idea is good, but the game is just too hard. And there are some problems with punctuation marks.
