Some of the word got crazy, and mixing in caps to add challenge was clever.
- **@Indiealesha** Oops sorry about that, i also have trouble because i use a weird international qwerty layout 🦇 don't worry we will localize the game when we sell 1M copies worldwide
- **@DazyLude** Yes this John guy seems to be everywhere lately 👀
- **@MadelineF** Trussssstt in meeee 🐍🐍
- **@NoNumberGames** Damn 1v1 typing off when ?
- **@Odronin** T9 dialing that was the good old days
@doridie Thank you so much! And yeah @aeoncl really nailed the vibe with the music & sfx !
@yancharkin Thank you !! :D We had a tough time brainstorming at first, but I'm glad we stuck with this idea in the end!
@joseph-tan ahaha yeah the mOcK CaSe tExTs were a bit OP - we had to nerf a few words because we underestimated how hard they were to type out at first :'D
I uploaded the music on youtube if you want to check it out :D

Great job!
Would be really cool if the words would tell even more of a story.
Had D0vidds join on stream, here's the vod in case you want to check it out again: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2428950737?t=3h25m40s

So extremly unique, and the mood and sountrack are AWEEEEESOME!
(specially that soundtrack)
Sadly I suck at typing games, so I made it to almost 40 words, but no more...
It could be abit easier, but tbh, I cant write with my 10 fingers anymore soooooo
Skill issue I guess, haha
Of a struggling writer./
Dives into his mind/
And dies right awayyyyyyy!/
So easy to get overwhelmed by so many thoughts (and in the game!) Thought I was clever thinking "I'll let that word pass over my head" only to be hit by the U-turn! Still, love the theme, love the concept, love the innovation, and love the background! Thanks for sharing!
- @0x-void-x0 Oh a fellow typing game enjoyer ! looking forward to try out yours and see what spin you put on it :D
- @jona-scheidig Yeah we really didnt have that much time to tweak the difficulty curve, we wanted to add multiple easier "concept" waves to introduce the different gameplay elements, like a wave of slow blinking word with a speed increase between each words, and that sort of thing but time was short, palms sweaty already, moms spaghetti
- @agrmayank it's okay if you're not the typing type 😎
- @mcgiants Hahaha yes the dreaded elliptic curve
- @aurel300 Couldnt resist adding that amen break at the end 😂
