The hardest game that you will ever play. Are you up to the challenge?
CrazyKeys Letters is a typing game. The object of the game is simple -- use the keyboard to correctly type in words as they appear in a list. The challenge is that the letter order of the keyboard is scrambled at random intervals. Players play until the number of words displayed in the list reaches 10.
Players gain points and time by correctly typing in the word. A word is entered by pressing its letters on the keyboard and hitting the return key (<-). If players type in the entire word before the entire word is displayed on the list, they get bonus points for their "psychic" ability. Players lose points when a word is incorrectly typed. There is no "correction" key. You must get the word correct on the first try.
Features:
Left and right hand game orientations.
Ability to set the speed at which words appear on the list.
Ability to set a range of time in which a random interval is chosen for the keyboard to be scrambled.
Ability to specify that a letter on one randomly chosen key be hidden to make the game more challenging.
The game to can be set to scramble all keys, only some keys or no keys.
If the scramble function is turned off, the player can specify a custom keyboard layout and use the game to practice typing with that layout.
Crazy keys has a a simple browser that allows the user to look up the definition of any word that appears on the list on any web dictionary site.
Since our brains are conditioned to expect the "qwerty" layout, any other layout makes typing difficult. To succeed in this game, players need to overcome their conditioning; and quickly adapt, react and memorize the new layout.
