Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
19 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
One of my favorite flourishes is that there's a bit of a story framework around the levels, which are presented to you at checkpoints in each level, where you type out the narration (against a timer) to continue the level -- a fun detail which makes the (intentionally) threadbare story feel a little more personal.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
18 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
A variety of modifiers and difficulty options allow you to adjust the game so it matches your typing speed and abilities, it has a fantastic art style, an energetic and motivating soundtrack that I could listen to for hours and accessibility options including a dyslexia-friendly font.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
16 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
The game forces you to navigate to avoid terrain hazards and obstacles while fighting (typing) off an onslaught of various enemy types with interesting mechanics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
It has a great story and a great soundtrack and it's more than just a typing test with some graphics.
