It's fun but it takes a while to get challenging. When you lose it won't tell you what wave you got to but I think I got to about 23?

One thing I don't like is that it would lock on when you were typing something. So if a word was "hackers" and you didn't read it correctly and only typed "hacker" then you'd wonder why nothing was working until you noticed and finished the "s". This wouldn't be so bad if the words didn't overlap each other making it very hard to read them quickly. Also when small missiles are near you you may try to type "hackers" and instead have a missile fire at the letter "h" and then the rest of the work "ackers" is wasted. (or worse the a in "ackers" matches another word, then you have to find the word you started typing accidentally so you can finish it.)

"Made with Impact" made me bounce before the page could fully load after waiting a full 10 seconds and it was still only halfway done. Maybe I would have stuck around if I had a clue what I was waiting for. From the other comments I'm guessing it's a game? I know, I could go back and do it now, but a typing game doesn't interest me personally too much.

Just my mood right now, I'm sure your game is fun. Hope you have success with it. Hope my criticism is constructive, don't mean to be a downer.

Just to clarify to many people who find the game boring after some time: I found it among the Chrome GL experiments, so it probably wasn't meant as a fully featured game.

And, if you find it too easy at first, try starting in "expert mode"!
