A fun Christmas/Yog take on the typing genre! Nice work! Perhaps the music could speed up slightly with each level?

Please check out my team's game if you get a chance!

I love typing challenges and this was a lot of fun! I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this up. Well done! Wave 5 was a real killer though

Developer(+1)

Oh dang! You got to wave 5, thats impressive because the difficulty curve is insane. Really happy you enjoyed it and thanks for the kind words! 

Submitted(+2)

cool little game, well done! Not the kind of thing you'd usually expect to see for a jam and a nice change of pace. Difficulty curve was a bit steep as others have said tho :P

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! I completely agree with you, the difficulty will be changed in an update later on =P

Nice graphics and straightforward gameplay, will say there is a big difficulty curve when it introduces longer words and more enemies at the same time between waves 1 and 2.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah without a doubt the difficulty curve is wayy too high. We are going to update the game later to tweak the difficulty as there is 10 waves but the furthest anyone has gone is wave 5. Nonetheless, thank you for enjoying out game! =D

Nice game, good concept. Good Job. If i were to continuously play this game, then i can master my typing skills :P 

Developer(+1)

Awesomee! Glad you enjoyed it. You can play a game and also learn how to type faster. I see this as an absolute win!

Submitted(+2)

solid gameplay, but too hard for mee. Nice job.

Developer

Thank you! We'll update the game soon-ish to adjust the difficulty curve. Glad you enjoyed the game!

Submitted(+2)

Great game, I like the larger zombies makes it a bit more interesting and definitely harder!

Developer

There is a third zombie later in the game that walks backwards and you need to type the word backwards to defeat it. Although we need to adjust the difficulty curve first haha. Thanks for the nice words! :D

Wow yeah I lost before seeing that guy :p

Submitted(+2)

This is great! Another hit of nostalgia from the black and white letter shooting games! Wonderful modern take on the game mechanic. Simply wonderful!

Developer(+1)

Nice graphics and solid gameplay. I not grood at typing though lol Still fun though :)

Developer(+1)

Yeah me neither, our programmer is too good at typing so he made it too hard at the same time, thanks for enjoying our game!

Submitted(+2)

nice link of zombies and santa!

Developer

Haha thank you, glad you enjoyed the game! =D

Submitted(+2)

Made it to "they aren't" on the first run, which I believe was the 4th wave? Reminds me of Typing of the Dead. Overall pretty good, though I cannot imagine getting to wave 10 with this difficulty curve.

Developer(+1)

The difficulty curve is shockingly hard. The furthest I've seen someone go is wave 5. We are planning to update the game later on to smooth out the difficulty because there is other content in the game that won't see the light of day like backwards walking zombies where you have to type the word backwards. Nonetheless, thanks for enjoying the game :D

(+2)

A very nice game! Just one little thing, one time two words was overlapping so I could  not read one of them. One of the words was very long so I figured it could be because of that.

Developer(+2)

Yeah totally, a good way of fixing this would be to bring whatever word is being typed to the front of the screen. But nonetheless, thank you for enjoying the game and the valuable feedback! We plan to update the game after Wednesday. =D

like another commenter said before me, Its simple but well-executed! Awesome job

Developer

Thank you very much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it :D

Submitted(+2)

Never seen such a game before. I really like the game mechanic. It is original and FUN.

Developer

Thanks a lot man! I'm really happy that you and others are enjoying the game. It means a lot!

Submitted(+2)

A simple idea, well-executed. Would've liked a few more words in the pool as there was a fair bit of repetition, but there's only so much that can be done in the time. 

Got a good laugh out of a few of the things that popped up!

Developer

Haha, really happy you enjoyed it! I do agree that there could've been more words added into the list to cut down on repetition. Nonetheless, thanks for the feedback and the kind words :D
