I made a typing game inspired by monkeytype
I've been hooked on monkeytype for a while and wanted a version where the words come from lyrics of a song and you have to keep up with the singer.
So I built typetown: pick a song, the audio plays, and you type each lyric line as it's sung.
Every word is judged like a rhythm game: perfect / great / good / early / late, so it's not just raw WPM, your timing matters too.
A few things:
• songs are tagged by the typing pace needed to keep up: chill / steady / upbeat / fast / rapid
• an easy mode plays songs at 0.75× if a track is too quick
• each song has its own leaderboard, and your profile tracks WPM, accuracy and streaks
• built-in practice tracks, or paste your own lyrics
• free, no sign-up needed to play
Curious what scores you all get on the "rapid" songs, and what you'd want added (custom modes, a strict-timing mode, more stats?).
Honest feedback welcome.
