Unlike the manufacturer of Balatro, I have not completed 100% Balatro, but I’m still doing a little work play Baltroe for the time – at least until Baltro, the creator of Baltro, saves 1.1, which will infect the Baltroes with more Baltro.
Meanwhile, I am on hunting for some new roguelikes to overcome my life – until those roguelikes have heavy doses of Balatro, of course.
There has already been a bunch: Baltro but it is just a Baltro, but it is Plinko, Baltro, but it is stock trading, and even Baltro, but it is breakfast, just a handful of name. And today I tried Balatro, but it is typing, and even though I am a very dirty typist, I am still a little in it.
It is called Typink.A “roguelike deckbuilding typing game” where you reach fast and accurately on your keyboard, which is possible to reproduce the paragraph you presented. The goal is to survive for 30 days, each day you have a handful of new routes, some shorter, some easy, cut with some words or phrases that will travel you as “duty” or “Debed Romankue” or “Black-Mastacowode face”.
(If those last two sounds are familiar, then most of the routes you are typing is taken from works like 1984 and yellow wallpapers, I doubt because they are in public domains.)
As soon as you type, you are against the clock. Each day when you survive, you earn cash that you can spend on allowances that give you bonus and multiplication. Mavis Beikan, in other words, teaches Baltro. This is some stressful typing action: you can see the clock (a green meter that slowly fill) from the corner of your eye, you can listen to the pinges and ding of your multiples and firing streak bonuses, and then when you do something wrong, all the heavenly backspace-diffusions to remove red letters.
The perk card you can buy between the rounds are very numerous-like, but are targeted towards typing. One gives you an additional multiplication for each word you typed for each word. Another benefit +3 multi -whenever you come in a period in print. One receives one percent of your final typo-free streak and adds it to multiplier at the end of the round.
And some cards simply buff different keyboard keys, so you can make your tone and dishes more valuable to press. As you can imagine, the prose of George Orwell is talling the bonus soon. Ah, literature, but gamified!
Not only is it fun, I think typink. In fact, a player’s typing skills can improve. Even it gives you a live reaction to your accuracy and your speed. The major negative side is that I cannot see all this by translating it well into steam decks, which mostly where I play Baltroes – Typin has an onscreen keyboard. But I can’t really see my fingers typing 60 words per minute by hitting my fingers on that small screen.
Typink. Launches on June 30, but there is A demo on steam Now you can try for free.
