I couldn't quite figure out if it was better to actually type or to just pound on the keyboard. The spelling mistakes certainly make the former a bit difficult, while the later seemed to be a little less responsive than it should, probably couldn't handle me hitting 10 keys at once.
But I think that a game like this would have a lot of potential as an educational game teaching kids how to type, of course you'd want to fix the spelling mistakes and not allow typing out of order. But determining how many followers you got based on speed would be a good incentive for kids. Then obviously have rewards for when you reach certain milestones to keep them interested.
