I like typing games, and this was a good one. My favorite drink was the Unholy Cherry Nectar. :rofl: I saved 78 lost souls...\n\nNicely made. The only critique I'd give is that there wasn't always a portal for the lost souls that were activated, which added a layer of challenge but also removed a little of the fun (felt a little shortchanged). But the challenge scaled nicely with the increasing number of lost souls to guide.\n\nVery nice work.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1061180,"author_name":"Arman","author_uid":"arman","epoch":1713460058,"text":"Did not except to see a typing game, but it's actually a very clever way of making you feel like you are summoning.
