type and magic: chapter 1 [browser]

Type your way to freedom in the puzzle platformer Type and Magic: Chapter 1 by Senokos. Those typing lessons from Brandon might come in handy after all.

    I had to rage quit. It's a good concept... not for me specifically

    Same, there is little 'fun' for me in characters that inexorably travel forward to their doom, just anxiety

    Nice idea but timing based gameplay is not for everyone obviously. Game gets difficult real quick. Maybe a couple of timing based levels here and there is ok, but like others I had to quit early.

    I found a new side of myself today - I cannot multitask between a space key, game on screen, and typing, haha. I'm glad I can function at writing endless reports even though I failed this game big time. As those above, I agree that it is a nice game.

    I thought 'Brandon teaches typing!' could help me with this. No way.
    Quit at the first jumplevel.
    To have the time at least to type the first word before moving could be helpful a bit.

    I actually found it really entertaining; I had a course in touch typing, though.
    Waiting for the next chapter and didn't try handing over all the gold i found till now.

    No trouble with the typing...(except as previously noted, forcing myself to NOT hit the spacebar between words). But the timing issue killed me. Didn't feel like I had the proper control of the game play to time jumps and landings....

    Cool idea for a puzzle platformer! It took me a bit to get used to timing my typing and jumping, but having to constantly move between the alphabet keys and the spacebar feels awkward.

    The optional collectables were a nice incentive to 100% the game though :)

    This was fun! I hope some developers keep ignoring the complainers to make games with this amount of difficulty, because it's exactly what I like. There are plenty of easier games out there already.

    I really liked the challange to coordinate typing, timing and jumping, it is not easy at all, but that makes it fun! Although I miss a menu screen where I can select levels and I can see if I accomplished everything, like I found all the objects etc. Looking forward to play chapter 2!

    I'm a fast typer...but I almost rage quit until I realized the key to this game was actually timing and coordination. Hadn't played anything that challenging in a while. So proud I got through it. :')
