Here's a small game I made to help improve your touch typing skills. It borrows the gentle difficulty curve from another game that is somewhat popular these days... Flappy Bird Typing Tutor |

It's really fun already!
Sort of small dictionary though, and it's kinda strange to not be rewarded for typing out words. Maybe have a bar fill up with correct words that multiplies your score for passing obstacles but is lost on making a typing error?
Keep it up!

I like that you get no reward for typing. Makes it a really evil typing "tutor". You're right about the word list though... I didn't really think people would get past 5, so I just wrote down all the words I know. Time to bust out the dictionary.

I've shared this quite a lot on Facebook and am getting similar feedback; Evil, Cruel, The C-Word and so forth... Good work!

The biggest issue is that your eyes are constantly darting up and down.
Maybe center the current word with some transparency, or hell have the word be the birdy thing, or have the current letter you need to type be just behind the bird, or put the word in the background, or something else.
Solving that issue would add a lot.

This is hilarious and clever. I just wish the words were closer to the action.

My favourite reaction I've received to this game so far is from experienced touch typists: they get pissed off because you effectively have to type poorly (well, at least slowly) to play the game... the hardest hit are those who are good at typing, but bad at spelling: Angry... angry players  |
