I'm a regular on typeracer so I'm your target audience. I at first thought starting from the beginning again was a bad idea, but as there are so few levels it's probably for the best. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>If you add more levels though you can change it so you just keep track of how many times they failed, and completing the game with the lowest amount of failures is the goal. That way we wouldn'thave to restart. Or maybe just have check points. Another thing is, you can't actually type when the sign says go. You have to wait until it disappears.

I managed to beat the game with ease (only failed a couple of times) so it's not like the issue broke the game for me.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But when a game requires you to use both hands on the keyboard and then asks you to click on something on screen it certainly breaks the experience a bit. It takes you out of the immersion as it forces you to take one hand out of the keyboard to reach the mouse, locate the cursor on screen and perform the required action and then back to the keyboard.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That's a mistake I've seen an AWFUL lot in LD entries over the years.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If a game mixes keyboard and mouse input it should be done in such a way that both devices can be comfortably operated with one hand each.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Since your game requires the player to do some fast typing it hardly can be played with just one hand on the keyboard. You would be &quot;wasting&quot; the other hand on the mouse waiting for the occasional mouse input.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Having said that... in your game at least it helps to increase the tension. It doesn't feel broken but you should be careful when designing the control scheme for your games so it doesn't require to swap devices or reach for other things in the middle of the game ;)"},{"author_name":"theholychicken","author_uid":"25095","time":"Sep 5, 2013 @ 5:55am","epoch":1378360200,"text":"Oh god.. typing game with mouse clicks!\r<br\/>Very very challenging! \r<br\/>Awesome job but I'm really terrible at this :c"},{"author_name":"rzfmzn","author_uid":"4736","time":"Sep 5, 2013 @ 12:16pm","epoch":1378383060,"text":"hahaha loved it"},{"author_name":"rodrigomotta","author_uid":"15106","time":"Sep 10, 2013 @ 5:46pm","epoch":1378834860,"text":"Great idea.
