That may be true in general, but not in the case of Excuses Excuses, a typing game geared towards school children. This kids game features vibrant graphics, simple controls, and completely non-violent gameplay.

The objective of Excuses Excuses is to type the excuses that appear in thought bubbles as quickly as possible. Every error that you make results in a penalty to your score (it is even possible for your score to drop below zero in this typing game). Failing to type the excuses fast enough will make the teacher angry. If her patience level drops to zero, then it's game over! You are given a bit of a break every time you complete a level (or "day"), however, since her patience level will reset to five.

The premise and controls of Excuses Excuses are extremely simple, making it perfect for young players. There are a few things that you should be aware of before playing this kids game, however.
