Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • I like the artwork and UI, it feels polished. The game could be fun but currently it feels like a chore. The words you type make no sense, so it would be great if it had some kind of humous narrative. I don't benefit from the countdown bar, I type as fast as I can go. I'm not sure who would play this game as most kids today type pretty quickly. Why would you want to know your type speed and accuracy? So if this is gameplay motivation there needs to be more mechanics to improve your speed, make it more fun with more gamified elements. The game works well though so keep refining.

Super addicting game with amazing sound effects.

super cute style! the sounds and the typing are so satisfying (but maybe i would have liked to lower the volume a bit). Interesting interpretation of the theme <3

I love typing tests when I'm bored, so this was great for me. Cute style makes it so much more unique and interesting than other typing tests out there, and the sound was very satisfying. Nice job!

So funny! Love the way you explore the theme. Could not imagine that not being able to use backspace would be so frustrating! It woud be nice if the content to write have some meaning.

Love the visuals, the style and the take on the theme, was satisfying to play!

I was going strong for a decent chunk of it and ended up with 92% accuracy in the end haha. The auto-typing felt slow compared to my actual typing, so didn’t really feel like there was benefit to using it.

My first run ended on the paper re-loading, well it not reloading I suppose… But, a refresh on the webpage sorted that out.

Overall it’s fab wee game, good work!

Art was very good! sound was great too, Those two aspects were your game's strength. I wish the words i had to type actually had some meaning instead of being randomly generated. also the auto-typing was slower than my actual typing speed LOL so it never made sense for me to use it.

I liked this game! It was simple, but still a good time all around. The graphics were cute, and it felt really satisfying click-clacking through.

I will say I faced the same issue that LycanDroid did, in that after some point the typewriter got stuck in the paper reloading, and I wasn't able to progress. I also agree that the bonus for typing accurately could be improved upon (maybe typing faster, at the expense of taking a bit longer to charge?), but I still had fun either way! Good work!

it is very nice i'am so funny from this game

Cool and creative! I love typing quickly and this was fun! Although, after a little while i think I spammed e for reloading the paper and it broke? I got stuck and couldn't add the paper again. Other than that though, I like the idea and it was executed in a cute way. My only real complaint is that I feel that the typewriter gaining the ability to type by itself isn't a very interesting reward for filling up the meter. Regardless, great idea, solid execution.
