Great game! I'm really bad at typing and have no form. This game has a lot of potential for teaching key placement. I was able to may a highscore by just runing my hands over the keys though :P Great visuals, Great sound, and really fun. Good job!

Thanks for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it :)

great concept , the game is so simple that you can understand what you have to do from the main menu yet it is so fun and challenging , i found a bug that the same key may come out twice so you only have to press the key once to have both of them .. anyway nice work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing : )

If you check the game's page description it explains exactly that, think of it as a "bonus".  : D

Fun to play but it becomes uniform after 2 minutes gameplay!

Thanks for checking it out, the game was designed with a more casual playerbase in mind for the game jam, maybe after the jam I will tweak the difficulty : )

Cool, Keep going!

Lovely reaction genre game. The problem with this game is, that  the variety of the keys is way too big there should be onyl like 4-5 to choose from, so the difficuly is pretty hard. Still a nice game with lovely  graphics and audio.

Developer

Thanks for checking out my game! 

If there was a lower variety of keys I think the game would become a bit tedious, most people actually find the game quite easy and most of the time the game is forgiving with the amount of time you have to press a key : )

Appreciate the feedback though : D

A real game to improve fine motor coordination, good to play, and good to trainning skills. Well done here!

Sorry I kept forgetting to get to this one man! I’m glad I finally got around to it. Seriously one of the more satisfying games to play. Like we talked about, a little more difficulty would be nice, but that’s not always the point of a game. This was a great way to gamify typing practice, and from that perspective I had fun going on for a while even knowing I wasn’t going to lose. Really well done. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool and unique game! I loved it, it felt nice. But i suck at typing. I like the pun in the name.

Developer

Thanks for playing! : )

Well, this was a different whack a mole. I'm really thinking this could be a helpful game if you're learning touch typing or just getting familiar with your keyboard, also some dynamic difficulty change would be alright. Graphics and sounds were fitting to the game.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! The game increases the difficulty as time progresses but after sometime locks it at 2 seconds between a mole appearance, maybe I'll do some tweaking after the jam : )

Woah this is amazing! I can imagine this being a good game for kids to learn the keyboard, really nice. Made me realize how bad I actually know my keyboard when I get conscious about it xD

Developer

Thanks for checking it out! :D

A cute little game with a nice high score mechanic.

I actually had the opposite problem of someone below, where I think the game  did not get difficult fast enough... maybe I am just a fast typer? Anyways, you did an amazing job making a good looking game in such a short amount of time! I love how you can see that the moles ripped off the keycaps, and you did a good job balancing the creation of assets with the time constraints of a game jam by making a really pretty map with only a few models! Definitely getting  a 5 in graphics from me. 

Developer

Thank you for your awesome comment! I also don't find the game very difficult but I didn't want the game to be unplayable by some. :D
