Icarus Proudbottom’s Typing Party by Holy Wow

Please note: The Mac version must be installed through the Itch.io desktop app. Typing Party WILL NOT LAUNCH if downloaded as a ZIP through this website.

Two keyboards, one computer. Grab a group of friends and have a Typing Party! #

PLEASE NOTE: In order to play this game with friends, you will need two keyboards attached to your computer. If you’re on a desktop, any two standard USB keyboards should work. If you’re on a laptop, you can use the laptop keyboard + 1 USB keyboard, or alternatively use two USB keyboards.
 

This is a multiplayer game at heart and is designed to be played with friends – however, you can practice the game single-player by competing against Mark 22, a computer controlled opponent! (You do not need two keyboards when playing against Mark 22.)
FEATURES:

• Face off with NINE amazing minigames!
• Supports up to four players!
• Configure your party: Choose which minigames you want to play, and how many points the game lasts!
• Practice against the computer in single-player mode!
• Two versions of the game are included: the standard version, plus the “ARCADE VERSION” – a simpler, shorter version that doesn’t require a mouse and can be set up as an installation.

KNOWN ISSUES:
This game is kinda old! It was originally built in Flash, and was only recently revitalized and packaged. Therefore there are a few technical quirks.

• Framerate seems to be bad in windowed mode. This is likely an effect of using the Adobe AIR runtime. We highly recommend fullscreen for all users.
• Letterboxing will appear on screens that are not 16:9.
• Pressing ESCAPE exits fullscreen mode and can mess up inputs. Use the upper-right menu to toggle fullscreen on and then off to fix.
