While we’re on the topic of typing, here is a free browser game better than many games you've probably spent cash money on.
Icarus Proudbottom Teaches Typing is a completely bonkers sendup of those glorious edutainment games you were forced to play if you took a typing class any time after 1987. It shouldn’t take you too long to complete, but it’s a wild ride while it lasts. Plus, you’ll probably improve your typing speed.
Icarus (and his owlkin spirit animal, Jerry) will be your guides on your typing journey. Just don’t pay too much attention to what you type, and you should be fine....right? There are a few fun nods to 90s freeware gaming, including a needlessly convoluted character creator and a “Typogatchi” that needs to be fed with the words you type. It’s just like being back in an era where computers came in “beige” or “grey”.
For a hastily made free game, a lot of love and detail was put into Icarus Proudbottom Teaches Typing. It truly is a joy to type as letters explode in pixelly glory as you go along.
Also, there’s a genuinely intriguing story; what IS up with all of those weird disclaimers you’ve been typing? Plus, you get to learn of the magic hidden behind the tilde key.
Savor the typing,
The Dungeon Dame
