How does your game fit the theme?
You're missing your control keys, so you're literally "out of control". Furthermore, the rest of the keys are out of control and you need to keep them in check.

This is really cool! One thing is that I can't use the function keys while playing, which made it much harder. Either way great game!

Submitted

This is what happens when you don't clean your keyboard regularly.
Fun entry. It's fun when things get heated up and *yes* out of control.
Really nice.

Submitted

Very cool! The graphics are great!!! The colors are amazing! I think advertising/making-clear the keyboard keys explode could be a good selling point! I kinda like the way they puff-off! 

Submitted

Nice game, frantically trying to press the right keys when the keys really popping off was fun. I wish you didn't have to use the F1-12 buttons though.

Submitted

My favorite moment came when I was losing, where the keys were popping off the board like popcorn.

Submitted

Fun simple games but as other said keyboards layout are wack (`) also should be use since some use it as keyboard switcher

Submitted

Great job! One tip, don't make a browser game that makes you mash F1 lol. I have 3 extra tabs open now. 

Submitted

Nice concept, the F-keys were kinda tricky because they open tabs and stuff in browser. So I just let them explode ^^

Submitted

This was really funny and something out of the ordinary. 

Only hit some struggles with different keyboard layouts, so I lost a couple keys early on. 

Otherwise, really nice work, well done :) 

Submitted

Really cool menu and presentation, the graphics were really nice. I also enjoyed the way the keys popped off.

That said, the gameplay itself was a little bland. After a little bit, it was just like I was hitting random keys. I think it could have benefited from some kind of other element, like having to spell words or something. And maybe include a penalty for hitting a key that wasn't turning red. Otherwise, you could just go crazy on the keyboard, and successfully restore a key without seeing which ones needed it.

Playing this game had me uninstall a lot of things  through f1 - f4 - f7 keys. But nice work, it's nice to try to find the right key when your keyboard is different of mine :)

Playing this in a web browser turned extra hilarious since most of the F-keys actually do things (open developer toolbox, enter/exit full screen, etc.).

Submitted

Cool idea, but I lost a lot of points because of different keyboard layouts. Maybe better to stick to just regular characters and numbers. But still cool nevertheless!

Submitted

I really like the idea, even tough i have a QWERTZ keyboard (which meant i just didnt know what to do with some of the keys (especially right side of the keyboard)) it was still possible to beat the game. the feedback and animations were very nice :D great game!

Submitted

Fun little typing game!

Submitted

Looks great and is fun. It would be enough to include just a few buttons or just exclude the ones that are not 0-9 or alphabetical letters.

Submitted

Loved the key pop. Great execution of this idea.

Submitted

I really liked the game, though somewhere in the middle i pressed a control key and got a pop up in chrome that i had to close. From there on i lagged behind and everything got really out of hand haha.
Maybe control keys aren't the best to use, but they sure do add to the feeling of losing control in the game XP

Submitted

Well, it was fun. Not wery original, but EXTREMELY and surpisingly fun. I love it. (though it was somehow difficult to play because some key combinations form actual windows or chrome shortcuts...) But very good game overall.

Submitted

it look really beautiful, however work weird with another type of keyboard layout (or laguage)
