Take that, Gandalf!

Short and sweet! The game plays well once I realized what was happening.

Some easy (and quick) improvements I'd suggest are a custom skybox and a material for the floor.

It would also be nice if the button could be activated with keyboard, since taking a hand off to push 'Play again' puts you at a disadvantage for the quick typing necessary.

Nice game! I like this  interpretation of a poplar party game, the controls are straightforward and the mechanics is easy to understand. Congratulations! keep it up!

Pretty fun! Cute characters and I liked the idea of pressing keyboard keys to choose the chair as fast as possible. Would have been nice if I could go to the next round by pressing “Enter” or “Space”, but I understand it could be left intentionally to make it more challenging.

Developer(+1)

It wasn't intentional hehe, rather I hadn't thought about it and it makes sense to use "Enter" or "Space" better since the idea is to use the keyboard, but as you say, it is more challenging with the mouse because it takes away your thinking about it. keyboard to give you the "Next round", thanks for playing it.

Love the graphics of the characters. But I sucked at typing.. shouldn't the last guy be left standing instead of fainting? ;-P

Developer

When the player loses, he falls and the game ends, but when the player wins, he stays in the last chair standing, thanks for playing it :)

Good job! i really love the simple idea, i would want to see whole words as well, and maybe that you only had to use small letters, keep pressing shift took some of the fun away for me, and i dont want to set caps lock, and if you could somehow set the "reaction" time in game, as difficulty or something, this would be a perfect game for young kids learning to type on the keyboard.

Thanks, if the complete words sound interesting, like a more difficult level. Sorry, I only put letters in Uppercase, but you can also put them in Lowercase, because they don't have to be just uppercase, although now that you mention it it could also be like another level where you put uppercase and lowercase, also the time thing is good, as you say for put it in the settings, thanks for playing it :)

Fun Idea! Could possibly be expanded so that you have to write whole word.

Developer

Sounds interesting, could be, thanks.

@joytrix, yours is really different though, but I liked it, speed is key here :D 

Developer

Took me a minute to realize to spam one of the keys. Tried tapping one, then tried to tap all of them before realizing
