I came to smash some keys and I was not disappointed! :) 

Though funny story, I forgot I had a paused youtube video in another window so when I hit spacebar while key smashing, the video started playing and I thought it was narration to the game. I was like... is there gonna be a calming narrator talking about relieving stress while I'm smashing these keys xD 

Anyway, concur with everyone else, simple but great at what it does. The interface and aesthetic are great! If you ever feel like expanding this into like an actual game to teach typing, it'd deffs be a hit. You could even keep the key smash thing in after the typing test is completed... RELEASE TENSION IN THE WRISTS! SMASH THE KEYS!

Nice work!

Hahaha that reminds me of Bennett Foddy's Getting Over It. Who knows? Maybe I'll add narration in the background to emphasize the pointlessness of the game or to talk about the glory of mashing your keys? 

Thanks for the feedback and thank you for playing!

The feel and aesthetics were really nice, like the feedback and visuals when hitting a button.  It was kinda interesting when you start to actually map your whole keyboard layout as you type (or roll your hands over the keys :D).  There's not much to the game but that doesnt mean its not pleasant, and I think you achieved what you set out to do, so good on you.

Thank you! I'm glad that the feedback and visuals are appreciated! Yes admittedly, there's not much to the game. It's just a remake of an old game of mine with much nicer visuals and cleaner code. Thanks for playing :D

A bit hard to figure out controls/what to do at the start, but an interesting concept. Would be better if there were some kind of levels(with words, maybe sentences to type?) or something else. 

Good job! :)

Thanks for the feedback! I've been getting that a lot where people are confused what to do when starting the game. I'm adding a 'Help' section and implementing this other game mode that I initially discontinued in the next update :)

Thanks for playing!
