Interesting game, I could see it being used to teach kids how to type. However, like other commenters have said, you really need to use real words. Right now, it felt like Two-Factor-Authentication-Simulator. Type the code we have sent you via SMS. Haven't received anything? Send the SMS again. Better hurry, that car is about to plow into yours. ;)

Simple idea, I liked it. However it starts really slow. After restarting twice I didn't want to wait the 2min until the difficulty becomes "fun"

Yeah I agree with bbstilson that typing games are always fun. Really enjoyable. I would have played more but having to go through the first few levels is a bit tedious. A level select would have been awesome!

Typing games are always fun and yours was no exception :)

I think a few things could have made it more fun / clear:

  1. using real words instead of random letters
  2. something that forces the player to dodge every car (maybe that means fewer cars, or cars that spawn in the same “lane” as the player). Due to the randomness, I sat to let several cars pass before having to do anything.
  3. Using green text instead of red. I thought I was doing something wrong.

Congrats on completing the jam!

As JacquesJ said, would’ve been better with real words. But nice work otherwise.

Happy to see a typing game in the jam. Usually that's my job, haha. I agree with JacquesJ's feedback.

I think rng trick me in my playthrough as the cars mostly spawn on the same side for some time. It would be fun to type a word that forms a sentence instead of random chars.

I like typing games, I think you did a good job gradually increasing the difficulty. I think you should have used real words instead of random chars to make it more fun, just typing random letters wasn't very fun and I don't think typing by itself fits the theme of Combining.
