I struggled with this one but I like the idea
Interesting idea, like many say pretty hard but not impossible and i like in this way. I only found one "issue" because i found that i don't neccesarily have to write what is in the random words, i could write whatever i like and i win. I'm sure you know and it isn't a big issue but i tell you this in case you didn't realize.
intereating idea. And pretty hard too. For a way to make it easier without extending the game time, I would suggest that you let the user click or touch the words to compose the haiku instead of typing. It may make the game too easy though...
Also, I tried to play this on my smartphone and found a bug where you can't type in the second line...
Thanks for the feedback! I just made a bug ticket for the input issue you mentioned: https://github.com/benrosen/twenty-second-haiku/issues/63
Feel free to add more information/screenshots to it if you want, but no pressure whatsoever :) Thanks again!
Well, about that, I have good news for you, not so good for me...
I decided to record my screen to show the bug to you, and then I was able to type in all the lines with no problem. And when I gone to type this reply, the said bug happened with the comment box... So, the problem appears to be with my smartphone. Sorry for the false-positive :/
Ah, glad/sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting me know! I'll mark the issue as closed. Lemme know if you have any other feedback. I'm all ears :)
very difficult but I like the idea
thanks! i agree that it's very difficult...
although this goes against the spirit of the jam, I could add a setting that allows you to disable (or extend) the timer.
although the timer requires you to get better at typing so I kinda like i
This turns out to be a great typing test
