It’s a typing incremental game. You start off with just the home row letters in a random order and earn coins by typing words. You can spend coins to upgrade how much each letter is worth, make the max word length longer, or unlock letters one by one. Eventually, you unlock common words so you’re not just typing random letters anymore.
There’s a prestige system where you reset everything and gain stars to spend on permanent upgrades. Like most incremental games, the fun comes from all the layers that slowly open up—new features, new upgrades, and ways to change the way you approach the core typing loop.
Later, you unlock a piggy bank to help with new runs, hire monkeys that type their own words, and work on completing pages in the Library of Babel that your monkeys help out with. As you progress you’re typing for different reasons, using different dictionaries, targeting specific letters, or upgrading different systems.
I was inspired by the idea of millions of monkeys eventually typing the works of Shakespeare, and by the Library of Babel. This is basically a game about monkeys trying to type the Library of Babel.
It actually started as a game to teach my niece how to type, and once I got the core loop down for her to play, my incremental brain took over. I play a lot of incremental games myself, so I tried to incorporate many QoL features that I would appreciate as a player.
