Nice game. I remember playing it some time ago, and quitting because of boredom once getting in the high (30+) levels.

I think it was one of the first "little" games using html5 instead of flash.

I see that they've introduced a new "expert" mode, which is indeed a lot harder. I've reached level 10 so far, but I'll give it a serious try sometime.

The biggest problem for me is the language. I type a lot of English, but not being a native make me hardly write any fancy words. So my finger get "stuck" in some words that have pattern that hardly appear in my native language.

On a side note, this remind me of "The Typing of the Dead" [1], which got recently released on steam (no linux support :( )[2], and the various online clones of it [3].

I feel that games like this one are a really great way of improving the speed/accurateness of typing, while also having a good share of fun.
