Gaming with Rin: Typing Valley Demo

Today its Demo Weekend and we're taking a look at Typing Valley. It kind of mixes the concept of a typing game with a farming simulator. Its your birthday but your family is busy....Your grandfather recently passed so you go to visit him and remember the good times. He leaves a little scavenger hunt game for you which involves fixing up his old restaurant and helping folks around town. The game tracks how well you are typing, and how your ability changes over time. Its a cute concept, but there's some details in the mechanics that are a little fidgety. For example setting the movement controls in the initial menu didn't seem to work....I had to try several times, then use custom settings before it let me play the game. When you move with asdf, then walk into an apple tree it starts typing for you right away even if you don't intend to interact with the item. A person can only type one word at a time, but in the restaurant serving mode when you are in the middle of typing one word it starts you in another word and punishes you for typing the wrong next letter for a dish you're not currently working on. I think the art style is cute, but if its going to be tracking typing you should probably decouple movement from letter keys...and have smarter UI. Its a little hard to play as is. Enjoy!
