Nice simple little typing game. I liked the audio.

Nice simple game, I struggled a bit to remember where the "every 10 seconds" was used until I got back to the title screen again. good job ^^

Haha, I like the vibes. I feel like I'm taking a typing test on an old computer in an abandoned bunker or something. Idk if the words are randomized from a list or not, but it was funny to me that, at one point, I started getting several short words. Then all of a sudden I got the word "synchronized". I immediately failed after that :laughing: .

I feel like this could benefit from a story and maybe more mechanics. It doesn't stand out as much of a game to me on it's own. Not to say it wasn't fun, I guess I was just expecting there to be more to it than just "type words until you fail". Also, saying how many seconds I lasted rather than how many words feels like tracking the wrong thing to me. I want to know how many words I typed.

Fun game! I managed to get to 139 seconds :smile: I thought the words were too easy and then the same happened to me as above and I got hit with synchronize and panicked :laughing: Audio is nice, I was a bit confused on what the 10 seconds was again and then noticed the timer getting faster, I think it could be nice to have this somewhere ingame so you know when it speeds up or something.

Great style! I agree with the other comments that the 10 seconds part doesn't come across strongly -- you're so focused on the typing that the timer getting faster doesn't register. An effect of some sort when the timer changes would help I think. I got 76 seconds on my first attempt -- the second appearance of synchronized is what got me!
