Proke actually is a word. It's an incredibly archaic word for 'prod' or 'poke'. There's a long story as to how it became the name of this game, but I'll save that for another time. =)

Greetings folks, I've just released an update. It features...
New Words! This includes an embarrassing oversight. 'Canada' wasn't in the game's dictionary. It is now, though. Sorry Canadians!
Bug Fixes! The game won't slow down and crash when you build ridiculously tall towers. At least, it didn't when I tried it.
New features! You can now end a game early. Look for the button in the lower left corner.
Old features! People have been asking for a way to quickly scroll through old words, or clear out the current word. You can do this with the arrow keys -- press up to go through past words, and down to go back or clear the current word entirely.
Thank you for all the five star reviews!

This is one of the best word games I've ever played. The only problem is how the game becomes unresponsive upon achieving higher milestones. Around 51,000 it got pretty bad. I got to the milestone 204800 before my browser finally froze entirely. I hope this gets fixed somehow.

Sometime, when you completed your objectives, boring as hell (I had to wait 5:30).
Also, tends to lag severely when achieving a x15 combo above height 30.000.
But, geez, good game! I didn't know I knew so many words!

So how about I got the ends making me spell a word that matched my thoughts and each other: 'Rea''lly' ... It's that easy?

First look: Ah man, another typing game. Nevermind. After a minute: Hey, this is actually kinda fun... One hour later: MUST. GET. HIGHER.

I wish you could make progress for later levels. I got a 10x combo on level 2 with a score of 12622 and now on level 4 I have to get another 10x combo and make a tower of 200.

My suggestion would be to remove verbs, or most of their forms; for example if I have to begin with "per" I can make "perambulate" and therefore adding -ed, -ing or -s is valid too.
Secondly, I would suggest adding a list of all the words you've typed when the game is over and we can look at their definition from there. There's a lot of words I didn't know existed.

i'm not certain there are 10 words that use both q and x. I wrote up a list and got seven. I'm sure there are a few more, but I have a feeling almost no one will see level nine.

this game is pretty easy... I regularly get 20* combos.
an easy way to get about 5 times combo is to think of a verb starting with the starting three letters, for example walk
you can then add a few letters for another word:
walk,walks,walker,walked,walking

It seems there's a hitch when you go higher and higher. The game starts to take in a lot of memory due to all the blocks and how fast it's scrolling. You might want to look into that and maybe make the bonus letters a little easier in the future. Other than that, it's a challenging and fun word game. 4/5

There is a noticeable slow down as you pass 12800 meters, and every time you pass another mark it takes longer and longer and longer for the game to respond. I assume there's a bonus when you hit these marks, and that bonus starts to take forever to be applied.

Kinda froze at about 51,200 meters, then I walked away for a few minutes and kept hearing it going up and up and up :/

Really great game, but I've found that it starts lagging or freezing once you get up to around 100,000 or so. Very nice game overall! :)
