Letter Invaders ReviewSome bugs, but it's helped my accuracy - Version: 0.1, 12/18/2003 12:00AM PST

Some things that could be worked out:
--Don't allow words with the same falling speed to spawn on top of each other; this prevents either of the words from being read, and pretty much guarantees that they will hit the bottom.
--Add difficulty modes; seeing 'disestablishmentarianism' come barreling down the screen at full speed the first time you start playing is really scary.
--Although the long words with strange letter combinations really help with precision, they're not particularly applicable to everyday typing, in my opinion. Helping people to practice on more common words might be more useful.

well be misconstruing the simple nature of things or reacting to a group of Manly men who are good typists but indifferent strategists . I enjoyed beating my fingers in the "game" , and I hope for the best , and wish well to those indifferent to simple solutions .
