I have no idea what I'm doing, just spamming 1-0 keys - apparently I on though, so yay?

The sprint and crazy modes appeared to be both crazy... I could only get 1 or 2 lines out at those levels and that's because the game telegraphs the first line. The other two modes are more interesting.

Thanks for the bug reports! I think the black screen issues are resolved now. The 1 second rounds are supposed to be whacky :) I added the 10 second ones to act as a more relaxed experience, I'm glad you enjoyed them!

hahaha, well that was interesting. Can't get more than 30000 in the 10 second modes, but I feel like getting a high score takes a back seat to the pretty colors... which are indeed bright and pretty, and is what you do so well!

Quick review: Not much of a game, but bright pretty colors were excellent :D

I do not understand why everything happens o.O. The game is too confusing

My highest score in "score rush" was 10206.

The one-second modes are basically trolling. :)

Like others i did find the speed a bit confusing at first. In a revision, maybe name them in addition to 10 x 10.

yeah I tried to add some better descriptions in this post. Would have been better to add them in-game too

very difficult, took me a moment to realize what I am doing. I wonder how 1x10 Sprint and 1x10 Crazy Rush are supposed to be possible though, they seem to end in two seconds.

I'm just spamming keys, I will try it stoned :)

Pretty cool once I figured it out (feeling slow today). Always a fan of a good Loren color palette :)

Nice. First couple rounds were random button mashing, but once I got it, I felt like a champion.
Terrific work.

F YEAH. Not super intuitive but in a way that only means figuring it out makes you feel really dang good about yourself. Superb use of color and style as usual.

This is the most dazzling random number generator ever @_@

Jokes aside though, this is really neat - especially the 10x10 modes

100000pts or so in 10*10. Insane game, very satisfying audio & flashy colors even if there's pretty much no gameplay. MASH MOAR

Audio and graphics were pretty good! I had no idea what I was doing first. :P After learning how to play I came to the conclusion that I'm just too slow for these kind of games. Nice entry! :)

Looks great. Sounds great. Not 100% that 10 keys at once isn't too much for my brain to cope with though! Also, this is a new keyboard and I'm scared to mash it too hard...

So many shapes. I really dug your particle effects.

Great visual flair as always! I'm a bad touch typist so the Stroll mode is the only one I had much of a chance in :) Very polished.

Lovely idea! The colors make it much more appealing and confusing.

Also I think I did just get motion-sick from that one :P
