Fun, charming typing game that deserves more love

Me gustan los juegos de escribir y este es uno, sugerido aunque un poco corto por su valor.

typing :)

I was having a good time, and I never died a single time until I got to the final boss, at which point I have to give up now because it feels impossible. It seems like the the difficulty of the game is based on how quickly you typed on the first encounter, as the enemies throughout the game keep referencing how you did on that first enemy, including the final boss. But somehow the balancing has made it so that the final boss has become impossible for me, and there doesn't seem to be a way to lower the difficulty, which is very frustrating. I type around 90-100 WPM, so I never would have expected to be unable to complete the game. But I've been typing for years, and 100 WPM is basically the ceiling of my typing speed, so if that's not enough to defeat the final boss then I just literally can't beat the game then. I would give this game a thumbs up if there was a way to change the difficulty, because otherwise it is a nice little typing game.

A fun game/typing practise full of references and [i] funny [/i] jokes (sometimes dad-jokes). It does require faster typing the further in the game you are, but not to an extreme degree, the difficulty changes based on your speed (I won't explain how, it's for you to find out). The vocabulary and frequency of words is quite good, although you really should know touch typing before you play.

gg. Finished in one go, enjoyed the wolf-3d/dungeon_master nostalgia and the nice atmosphere and kind humor. Nice to improve typing skills like this. Also there is a bug at the end. [spoiler] Backspace is broken. [/spoiler]

Cute and rather funny lil' game. The major issue this game has is that it doesn't explain how it works half the time, for instance it has some short of stamina bar on top, and even after finishing it, I can't really explain to you how it works at all. Also, like almost everyone, I wished it had a proper save system instead of only saving a select points where the save moth shows up. A few tips: You're better off stretching for accuracy than speed, since you can dodge (press left or right at the obviously scripted attack) but only do so right before typing a new word or section of words, because dodging with (mid-)bosses will usually have the effect of changing one or more characters you typed in the current word. Also, typing slowly at the first encounter and in boss fights makes the game easier, so just help yourself out, really. Also this game expects you to read it, so slow the heck down and read the notes as you travel across the dungeons. If you don't you'll likely be stuck by missing passwords and other hints, since they are dropped by different sources: In one level it's a seemingly random enemy that just blurts out the password, another time it's a boss or other enemies that just give you pieces of it, so pay attention. Reading also isn't too bad, because the game has a decent enough sense of humour.

awesome game about typing, cool storyline too!! i would've 100'd this if it weren't for the 90 wpm achievement :( anyways 9/10
