Wow, this was such a chill game yet not chill at the end haha! The fact the all the same letters dropped of when you type gives it a unique challenge. Love the upgrade systems too and the music is just *chef kiss*

Thanks! The intention was to have a chill game, and to punish lightly for mistakes. There's supposed to be a simple money mechanic, where the faster you go, the more money you make, and hitting rails only slows you down. But the time was close to being up and I had to make a decision on the spot. Definitely my biggest regret to not have prioritized it earlier. Still, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice idea, the visual come great together, good choice of music. I'm bad at typing but the game is fun nevertheless! Well done !

Zap MasterHell ya a typing game! I've been thinking about doing one for awhile but haven't yet! I do wish it was words instead of random letters but otherwise pretty good!

Office Escape (Trijam 237)Go for it! This was my first typing game too. I really wanted the train and needed some arbitrary challenge to design around, and this seemed perfect at the time.
Having words is a pretty cool idea. I did also have the idea of having to type out words to make choices too, like to "DEPART" and "HONK". That said, the speed difference for typing between people so varied that I wouldn't know how to balance it.
Very good - made me smile - pity that the same letters drops off - i.e. if you had 2 L and you hit one L it cleared both - Music was also very good.

Escape the Null ZoneGlad to hear that! Two letters dropping off is a side effect of my naive approach, and it didn't occur to me how statistically often doubles appear. Design wise, I think I prefer that you can clear any rail at any order, and I should make sure each letter on screen is unique. Thanks for the feedback.
