I didn’t get a chance to post any comments in my entry post<\/a>, so I thought I’d do that now.<\/p>\n

It’s a sort of typing practice game.<\/p>\n

The object of the game is to type the phrases that appear on the screen, scrolling from right to left.\u00a0 As you type, you get points on an increasing scale.\u00a0 One point for the first character, two for the second, three for the third, and so on.\u00a0 The longer the streak, the more points you’ll earn.\u00a0 However, if you hit the wrong key, you’ll lose your streak and start back over at one point.<\/p>\n

That’s not all.\u00a0 A little bit after you start the game, a SuperShred shredding device will start to make it’s way from left to right, waiting to eat the phrases you’re typing.\u00a0 If at any point the untyped part of the phrase hits the wall, the game is over.\u00a0 Every mistyped key will increase the speed of the SuperShred, bringing closer the inevitable conclusion.<\/p>\n

You can get a minor reprieve, if you successfully type ten phrases.\u00a0 It will reset the shredder back to the default speed.\u00a0 You cannot get back your lost working room though, so you would do best to get to that tenth phrase as soon as possible if you make any mistakes.<\/p>\n

The game was written in Java and requires the Java 1.6 runtime.\u00a0 Let me know if you have any problems getting it to run.<\/p>\n \n
