Very nice typing practice xD enjoyed it a lot and hopefully my highscore will stay up there :)) Great job especially on the sounds.

Great game, love the inclusion of a leaderboard to keep it competitive and add replayability.

I really loved this! I generally don't like typing games but the spinning of the words with the whole juggling concept really worked for me! It was a great twist to the falling-words genre. The game also looked fantastic.

I thought the music was really good but the typing noise was a little bit too loud for me to hear it. I'd recommend turning that down a bit.

I found that playing with a slight head tilt helped keep things readable enough to stay afloat :)

Love it! I wish the total number of words kept increasing!

Super fun typewriter game. Love the idea. ~~Would have appreciated some background music and iconic ball-hit sounds~~ *don't mind me, my browser sound doesn't work somehow*, but damn, this is really fun. Really really nice. Sorry, don't have more text for you, need to beat my highscore...

Top off the leaderboard (for now haha). Really nice entry! First i was a little bit dizzy about the rotation but it got better after some time.

This is a nice little game.

Its very polished and I especially love the UI. The gameplay felt good but every time I played, my keypresses stopped registering after a while. This might be due to the fact that I played it in MacOS Safari, but I'm not sure. But when the game worked, it worked well and I had fun. Kudos for including a leaderboard too!

This was fun; I really liked the happy and calm mood which helped balance the feeling of panic as lots of words went towards the ground! Once I had two words on the screen which both started with the same letter, and when I tried typing one my letter went towards the other one, which threw me for a second. Overall it was a great game; good job!

The word choices weren't the best imo. Some weren't words "hara" and some were.... questionable words...
Not sure if this is common for typing games, but pressing the wrong letter isn't a problem here.
