Oh that's my nightmare typing game! Diffuculty ramps up real quick once "adam joins the fight". Great concept and execution but I just am not a person for this genre,

Oh hey! We both did typing games! :D
I really like the mechanic of yours - switching between the different characters really upped the difficulty! But in a good challenge kind of way.

So a couple times I would be typing a word as Adam, but because the word contained the letters e v e in it, it switched to Eve and I wouldn't realize what was happening and have to scramble back to not lose a life. It felt a bit frustrating when that would happen. Maybe if the switch between characters is telegraphed more (a sound effect on switch, or something big visually?) but other than that I don't have anything to add, it's a really neat take on the limitation! Great job!

Got me at my limit pretty quickly. I liked the extra brain work of having to switch between the characters by typing their names, that really broke the repetitive word typing.
Really fun word typer.

And a little tip: The exit button in the Web-Build just freezes the game, maybe remove that :)

Pretty tough for hunt-and-peckers like me; I couldn't get past 100 or so. I don't have much feedback on the actual gameplay, but I will say that I think the menu/front end presentation could have used a little more work, or just been omitted entirely? It doesn't quite measure up to the quality of the in-game stuff and it's not doing anything vital, so the game might have been better off just diving straight in.

But overall it's a neat spin on typing games with pretty stylish presentation; I enjoyed it!

Your concept is both intriguing and enjoyable – I absolutely love it! ^^

oh no - I think it is not really clear but did you type: "type to fight" ?

Submitted(+1)

Ahh damn. I typed "eve" the whole time 😂

I hope some others who have trouble will read this before playing. But now after giving it another try it works as intended I guess. Good game overall
