Darkest Friday by Cake&Code
You're a retail worker at a toy store working on one of the darkest
and bleakest days of the year: Black Friday.
All customers are allowed one toy, which they will be screaming for.
Your goal is to survive and pass out toys one by one by typing out their requests.
Fail, and you'll be mobbed by some very angry customers.

More toy names would be great but otherwise great
Sorry if it's slow for anyone, this is our second time working with HTML5 and the first time using the Phaser library so we're still learning about optimizations and how to cut down on processing waste.
Thanks to everyone who's played it so far, hope you had a good time :)
Some issues:
- The Z really looks like a "2". The first time I played I lost because I thought the kid wanted a "Blat2" :-P
- In the main screen, if I mouse over the Cake and Code icon, the mouse changes to a clicking icon, but clicking there does nothing.
Thanks for the game! :-D
I could only help about eight people before I'd fail an attempt. I keep mispelling the misspelled words by about one letter and then BOOM they get all angry at me. Love the art and the theme is very interesting. Great stuff!
Great game, I wish it had more levels or a higher difficulty.
P.D.: You guessed right, our game is based on "Lovers in a dangerous spacetime", as explained here:

I liked the graphical style a lot and, although short, the song loop didn't get tiring... oh, and the toys' names were funny!
But there's no thrill, I only had to repeat the same action some 20~30 times...
Perhaps if from time to time there was a big wave with lots of customers coming at you, or one that stole toys being sent to people it would be more interesting...
It was well done, nonetheless, :)
but not to my liking. :(
P.S.: Reading the others comments, seems like it's really a matter of taste. XD
One can't always please everybody. ^^
this game is not par with your previous entries, but i still will follow you closely guys!
very good work!
A nice typing game !
But everyone else seem to be enjoying it, so I guess it is just me
The gameplay is not really mine, because fast typing is hard for me, if its not myself phrasing the text/words. Well, no minus points for that!
Nice work! :)
Good job!
