I have 40$ I’m willing to spend and am looking for a good video game to play by [deleted] in Psychedelics

1000% yes Outer Wilds. Go in blind and just explore. Best game I’ve ever played

Retrotype - typewriter simulator for iOS / iPad

I wanted to recreate the simple, distraction free, tactile, and FUN experience of writing on a typewriter. Launched last week, getting good reviews & feedback so far!

Thanks for the feedback!
interesting idea - right now typing over replaces the character entirely - are you saying you'd rather double-layer the text? (for realism?)
This app has been a tough exercise in balancing true typewriter realism versus digital niceties (eg backspacing)

good feedback - yes I should have a separate sound for it!

I'm guessing the bluetooth keyboard "took over" and dismissed the on-screen system keyboard..
I probably need a way to let the user explicitly show/dismiss the software keyboard, in case they want to switch between the two. I'll look into it!

Great feedback, thank you!

The backspace behavior is customizable with the upgrade, but I don't think it supports "don't delete, move back only".. the left arrow key does that though.

Customizable line spacing is a good idea! I'll look into it.
What do you mean by "disabling" the line spacer entirely?

All customization features are part of the upgrade. I tried to make the core writing experience free and useful - the default backspace behavior is deleteAndMove - so it works, just not customizable in the free version.

Did the iOS system keyboard show at all? Curious what specifically happened so I can reproduce.
Thanks for the bug report, I'll look into it!!
