I really like how the music comes on when you get the airpods! I enjoyed this game, I played it for almost 2 hours! Great job, I hope you make more games in the future! :) <3
The G in Geoff where it says "that I think Geoff is a genius" always sends me down to the bottom, even when I type it correctly. Pretty frustrating and I hope it can be fixed in the next patch.
Hi there! Thank you for playing, and we're sorry you ran into an issue. We haven't seen a bug like this before, so will look into it as soon as we can. Perhaps it's worth making sure that you are typing a capital letter - the game is case sensitive. We are also yet to test support for keyboard layouts other than English, if that applies to you this may be what is causing some problems. Otherwise, on failing an email three times, you gain the option to delegate (skip). You can use this to move on to the next email and continue playing. Thanks!
Hi there! Sorry, no way to close the windows with the keyboard, that wouldn't be absurd enough! For more info check the description here: BRIEFS 2022 - an absurd collection
p.s. to make things marginally less annoying, maybe try moving the windows to stack the red X's...
Hi there! Thanks for playing! Please let us know what it was that you couldn't type, so that we can try and fix this in our next patch. Perhaps it's worth making sure that you don't have caps lock on - the game is case sensitive. Thanks!
I despise every piece of the gameaply loop. The need for perfect typing, the rolling animation that just wastes time, and the pop-up advertisements that also waste time? They're all absolutely unenjoyable, and this game filled me with a murderous rage that I never knew was inside me. I also hate that you can never reach the peak.
Bloody excellent job, I loved it, but I never want to play it again.
My only constructive criticism is that I would like a one click button to close all the pop-up windows after each run. Or maybe it's there and I missed it? I dunno.
The BioTech site is a Sisyphean Easter Egg we built for if anyone searched the URL found within the game. BioTech's email also leads to more secrets...
Hi there! Thanks for pointing that one out, we've somehow lost the word 'bit' in that line when transferring it into the game. We'll post a new build soon with some bug fixes. Thanks again!
Very cool very fun! Really captures the feeling of having to write corporate emails, lol. Having to individually close out each pop-up was a little annoying but I definitely think that's what you were going for. The unlockables being for the ball and not Sisyphus was also very funny.
Hi there! We're from the UK, so 'centred' is correct for us. The emails are randomly selected from a pool, so you've got unlucky getting it first! We'll look into ways of having different spellings for different players. Thanks!
Short and sweet. I found the typing mechanics satisfying, which is good. The unlocks were cute enough, I like the sound effects too. The whole experience didn't overstay its welcome, which is surprising given the clear analogy. I ended up unlocking everything, which meant I played longer than I thought I would.

Finally good game for teach blind typing
Clever and hilarious!
Feels just a little punishing.
Esteemed peers,

XOXO,

To whom it may concern,
BioTech thanks you for adhering to the approved email formatting. A promotion is surely on the horizon.
Kind regards,
Alex
gawd this is frustrating for someone who sucks at typing

Some days I too feel like Sisyphus being trampled by the boulder of life.
Such a clever and brilliant game, very proud of you both!
Why would you make this?
Because you're geniuses, clearly.
Unique and interesting game.
A very unique and interesting game!
A fun one! Is there any way to close the shop windows with the keyboard, though? It's a bit annoying to grab the mouse every time.

Very funny and depressing!
if you name more longest,you will get more money:)
I press the key It asks me to, but it sends me to the shop :(

Oh, I didn't know the game is case Sensetive, first letter in the sentense is upper case and I typed lower case, sorry, my bad :)

This is delightful.

Hi there! We wanted the pop-ups to work the way they do to add to the Absurdism (more info in the description here: https://itch.io/b/1474/briefs-2022-an-absurd-collection).
However, there is a speedrun strat if you line up all of the red X's by moving the windows on top of each other. Thanks!
LOVE IT.
This is ridiculous and fun and I absolutely love it.
nice game
Hilarious game that helped me with my typing. I particularly loved the song choices with all the rock puns. Great job!
Nice boulder!
Nice boulder!
VERY COOL GAME!
But I don't understand why I need to wait for navigate in our new website.

I like the game, nice design. Words are fun too.
I like the game, though this sentence kinda baffles me: "Would anyone care to join me for a of desk yoga?"

juegazo me gustaría que se pudiera poner en otros idiomas para aprender a escribir y me viene bien para estudiar ingles
This was a fun game. It really would make a good program to teach/improve typing. Great work!
i dont know how to make a small email but now i do

Brilliant stuff. Gave me some new email signatures.
Fantastic. Simply awesome.
Brilliant and full of surprises. Enjoyed every moment of it!
this is like rock of ages

This is good but hard for me :))
This stuff is the pinnacle of comedic typing.
The most fun I've had with a typing game.
Awesome game, if you guys want to see game-play check my channel out, and possibly support by subscribing. we're close to 7k subs!
Original and promising, I recommend!
Finally BioTech updated their website!
That was awesome! Neat premise and fun gameplay :D I totally maxed out everything :)
Loved it :)
