Backspace Bouken

very punny and very charming dungeon crawler, might be a bit frustrating to some but i think it's the normal amount of friction for a dungeon crawler game. it's also kinda funny how just being too fast at typing can completely skip the enemies' gimmicks and ruin their dialogue.

Funny name for a game! Although... Most of the time you CAN use your backspace. XD I have to say... I thought this game was for "hardcore typists". I got all the way up to the last Boss in F8 and then I remembered there was a "Dodge" button... Which you WILL NEED... Because... Even with a typing speed of 100+ wpm... You can't beat him. Hah! (Someone wrote a guide on the "Dodge" button too, so you can look for it there or listen to the skelly). Although I was enjoying the game, I only have two gripes with it: -> The map needs to have a ZOOM OUT. I have severe trouble with directions and with the map being so up close... I ended up on the same floor, circling around 5x... Until I realized that I was in an incorrect place to be. -> The Save Point only comes before Bosses/Sometimes at random spots... So like 30+ - 1hr... I haven't found a "Quick Save" anywhere and ended up re-doing stuff, as sometimes I get called away to do stuff. While I beat the F8 tower... The Number Lock thing....... I think that's a harder version of F8? And they are also basement levels. Well... I got lost. See, this is where the ZOOM OUT would've HELPED ME A LOT!!! The maps are so odd here, that I circled around endlessly, until I got sick and had to leave. Therefore, if you can type (or dodge and type) and have a great sense of direction/just lucky... You'll get far in this game. ^^

awesome game about typing, cool storyline too!! i would've 100'd this if it weren't for the 90 wpm achievement :( anyways 8/10
