doens't work. no feedback on errors that i can provide. :/

using latest chrome with win 8.1

Same here. Linux / Firefox, Chromium

We're doing a similar game teaching times table: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netforza.t...

LINK DOESN'T WORK >:|

What music is playing in background there? I can't find it following the link from the game page: https://soundcloud.com/xhyrox

Its a bit annoying that the input locks when you've been hit. You keep typing and even though you spell it correctly you're later in the word so its marked as wrong.

I guess that edges it a bit closer to a fighting game than 'just' a typing game, in that you want to exploit and opening and not just mash attacks. ;)

But it also seems to disadvantage the 'easy' characters with short words a lot more since they have to wait for a new word a lot more often, giving the opponent more time to start locking your input again.

I might be overthinking this. ;)

and it's down... mirror anyone?

This website is brought to you by the numbers 5, 0 and 3.

I have never commented on a single HN story, and mostly stick to reading. I wanted to say that this is one of the absolute funniest comments I have ever read on this web site. Good job, sir.

Finally, a fighting game that doesn't suck using a keyboard. Would be great if there was a way to crossup and knockdown.

It froze right as I was defeating the first character.

Cheat code: Just hold the first letter of your word.

Buffering input commands? This is a deeper fighting engine than I would've assumed!

Best graphics ever

Cease & Desist in three... two... one...

Not showing anything here, Firefox 27 Linux

Same here. Chrome on Linux. :(

this hits me right in the nostalgia-feels. great approach to a typing tutor!

how do you unlock elmo? i beat the game once but elmo is still locked.

The game needs to be ported to TCL to unlock Elmo.

Enjoyable.

wow very neat! Great job!

I think you have a hit here..
