I wish it would have either told me my wpm at the end - or even better - if the words would tell a story about the ants I'm hiring. The art style was simple, but cute and effective. I cared about those little workers. The craziness of having multiple words to take care of was effective in causing me to worry and just chase words as fast as I could. Sometimes it felt like the wrong word was picked up, that's probably because of my mis-typings. I wonder if having backspace as a feature would be useful. Either way - it was pretty cool.

Cute entry, loved the simple art style & animations! I appreciated that the game would give you a moment to pause between \"levels\" and would only start when you began typing the next word.
