It's like a new minigame in Rumble.
My brain just breaks everytime it changes keys! It was fun tho.

I really like the idea for switching the keys, it's amazing how much it twists my brain in just having two keys reversed.
For some feedback, it's a bit tricky to follow the swaps. The changes happens quickly and the keyboard doesn't make it easy to find the switch. I spent more time than I wanted trying to find the swap rather than solve the puzzle of typing with reversed keys.
I wish there was an easier way to see what keys swapped, but besides that good job!
Pretty original idea that tested my keyboard muscle memory, good job! As others pointed out, a more eligible font would be nice and some other QoL features, like seeing which keys have been switched last.
Either way, it was a fun little game.
fun idea, and tough! it might be nice to be able to see what swapped keys were originally, so you don't have to rely on knowing the exact keyboard layout :)
I really like the idea. Personally, I too would have preferred a more legible font. Very nice game! This must be what learning a new layout would feel like!
really interesting idea unfortunally i find the font hard to read making it hard to determine what keys got switched. and it does not really work for non english keyboards, (but that’s something you could worry during that 48 hours)
It is a very entertaining game but I got stuck on "how game designers solved these 11 problems" because "1" wasn't working (by the way I love how you use titles of GMTK videos)
Loved the idea! I'm a pretty poor typist already, so the swapping keys made it that much harder. Super fun challenge. My only issue would be that the font is a bit hard to read, but otherwise this was a nice little experience! Thumbs up!
Sometimes the font was hard to read on top of my brain trying to unlearn years of muscle memory
Fun game, but doesn't really have much to do with the theme. Nice visuals though.
