Hi there! 

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. The game is case sensitive, but let us know if that isn't the issue and we'll try and recreate it. 

Thanks!

that seemed to be my issue, thanks

I got the same problem but only at the html5 version

Hi there! 

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Could you confirm if you're having the same issue as 'usercool' (not using capital letters) or if you are having a seperate problem? If the former, we recommend the SHIFT button. If the latter, please provide further details.

Thanks!

This made me realize how much I love the backspace key

Hi there,

This was great. At the end I bought all the upgrades, and had a hilarious shock when I fell and heard laughter.

Great work,

Azazel.

(+2)

Hi there!

Congratulations for purchasing all of the upgrades. We are pleased to reward you with a corner office and the title of 'Assistant to the Vice-CEO's Coffee Order Taker'.

Thanks!

(+3)

Hello again!

I am honoured to receive this title, climbing the ladder one step at a time! One day I might even be the Vice-CEO's Coffee Order Taker, fingers crossed.

Of course!!

Dear circus,

Hearing the honk of the clown horn on every keystroke was really something special!

Many laughs,

Benni

Hi there!

Work your way up from clown to ringmaster in just three easy steps! (Office-wide memo contains these three steps.) ((If you did not receive this memo consider yourself fired.))

Thanks!

Dear God,

I entered my name as "SysiwWoOaHh" before knowing what the consequences were. I guffawed at this game, but knew I couldn't play it for long.

Yours Truly,

SysiwWoOaHh

You can enter the passwords at the login screen that opens before the game.

Hi there!

Could you provide more information about what kind of keyboard you are using?

Thanks!

Games that make you rage the perfect amount without actually shutting down the game and never opening it again. I made it a goal to buy every possible thing without skipping any emails. Succeeded, but at the cost of my sanity. Probably one of the best games I've found on here and definitely my favorite typing game by far (yes, I'm one of those freaks who plays enough of that genre to have an ongoing ranking).

Greetings,

The tasks assigned for this week are as follows,.
*falls down the cliff*

Best bullshit job simulator ever. Thanks for the customization. It really gets to me to feel like an idiot as I do in my real job. The feeling is really well recreated.

Typing alone is enough to fill a man's heart.

"Season's greetings,

do not ever email me again.
Best wishes, {user}"

I just think your game is broken. Correct me if not :)

Edit: Just saw it isn't broken at least the download one. The browser one IDK.

Hi there!

Would you be able to clarify what you think is broken? The game won't launch on mobile as it was designed for desktop.

Thanks!

Happy Monday,

Hello,

One must imagine one imagining that one imagines imagining imagination. If the image is imagined again then one must imagine without margins. 


Hope this was helpful,

Hi there! Sorry to hear you're having trouble. The game is case sensitive, but let us know if that isn't the issue and we'll try and recreate it. Thanks!

Just checking that you're also entering the space key between each word? Let us know if that solves the problem. Thanks!
