Our take on Typing with Jester
Typing games usually separate practice from play, but this one makes word entry the attack mechanic. It places typing speed inside story stages and boss encounters, then uses endless mode and leaderboards for continued competition.
What is Typing with Jester?
Typing with Jester is a retro-styled typing game set in the kingdom of Fair.
Players use typed words as weapons, entering them to defeat enemies before they reach the character. The current release contains a tutorial and the first three story levels, each with a boss encounter. Endless mode provides continued typing challenges, with Steam leaderboards for comparing performance. Two Jesters are playable, while four additional characters can be unlocked for endless mode. The game also includes Steam Cloud, achievements, and Trading Cards. The vendor lists seven additional story levels, four more unlockable characters, and a dictionary expansion of about 3,000 words per language as planned additions.
