Backspace Bouken

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.
