Not sensitive
I had to retype several words because the letters that i typed in wouldn't register. I would be on a roll and then i would have to retype something because it didn't sense the keys being pressed.
Needs a little tweak
But the programming needed to be a little more solid.
At a certain pace the system itself simply wouldn't keep up with me, dropping one of my keystrokes or a space during a moment of latency. It's very hard to take this seriously considering what a heavy toll such factors play on the game's core premise and the experience overall.

sometimes keys stick and it goes a bit too too fast.......but still a remarkably great game anyway (hippopotamus?)
Too slow
It's too slow. It is a somewhat decent pace for the most part, but it should go faster if you are catching up to it, then return to normal once it has gotten ahead some more. It isn't too hard to catch up to it, then when you do, it doesn't count the keystrokes.
Should probably also add some penalty for making errors, such as it jumping ahead some more.
