I got 1611, pretty poor but I loved the game! Very interesting take on the theme and overall just all round great. Audio fit well with the colours. I can't get over how good the pace was, it ramped up nicely and felt great. Good job!"},{"author_name":"hoyt hoy","author_uid":"27144","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 1:05pm","epoch":1408971600,"text":"Great idea!\rReally surprising.\rI just don't like the sound, if is was to difficult the game, I understand. Is really difficult stay in game :\/\rBut the use of theme was really really amazing."},{"author_name":"4sap","author_uid":"34460","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:31pm","epoch":1408983960,"text":"Very nice.

Oh, also, the sounds were a bit annoying after a few times"},{"author_name":"Ossi","author_uid":"26674","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 11:59pm","epoch":1409010840,"text":"Really unique and interesting! My only complaint is that the sound you used when the timer was close to expiring was really loud. Even after turning my volume down it was a bit hard on my ears.

Great concept but it's too unusual way of reading, it's too complicated. Maybe it's because of my english that should be better!"},{"author_name":"ploogle","author_uid":"25844","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 5:51am","epoch":1409118360,"text":"Innnnteresting....\r\rI got pretty far :) Unique idea, though I don't know that it fit the theme very well."},{"author_name":"mrbungle","author_uid":"4895","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 9:52pm","epoch":1409176020,"text":"I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would.

Great little game!"},{"author_name":"chongdashu","author_uid":"21248","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 9:52pm","epoch":1409176020,"text":"Interesting game! It gets pretty hard quickly if you mis-type a letter, since you don't know where you are in the word!

It's an interesting take on a typing game. That being said, I don't see a real link to the theme. The "Connecting games to it" angle feels like a reach. It is a really cool idea though, and I enjoyed playing."},{"author_name":"Toubib","author_uid":"39033","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 10:41pm","epoch":1409178960,"text":"Weird but fun xD"},{"author_name":"shatterhand","author_uid":"14551","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 9:35pm","epoch":1409261400,"text":"Hahaha, loved this.

But the audio freaked me out, once you made one mistake it sounded loud and annoying for the rest of the book? And when I made a mistake, I started from the beginning of the word but that made the time fly by. Overall it's a nice entry though! :)"},{"author_name":"psychonull","author_uid":"31386","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 1:47am","epoch":1409276520,"text":"Nice and really funny.

Would be really interesting if it was a coop-games where you get a random start position in the book and try to type as far as possible and the objective is a joint re-write of the book. To connect with the content of the book I would have opted for the disturbing effects to be more psychedelic and music too.\r\rReally nice idea though."},{"author_name":"WiErD0","author_uid":"37149","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 9:38pm","epoch":1409347980,"text":"Cool idea, really fast paced.
