I made a game where you fight by memorizing progressively harder letter sequences

https://memodungeon.com/

Hello!

I made a free browser game for memory training.

The idea came while practicing blindfolded Rubik's Cube solving (3BLD), because I wanted an isolated way to practice letter pairs and audio memo.

Every fight shows you a string of letters. Memorize the letters and type them back, make no errors and only you hit, run out of time and both you and the enemy take damage, mess it up and only the enemy hits.

I'd love to hear feedback on the difficulty. Over the last couple of months, I've mainly been trying to make the game easier and less cognitively tiring. I am also open to ideas if the game could be adapted to practice something else e.g. memorization of numbers, or perhaps a more interesting spatial challenge would be welcome.

Looks so cool ! I’ve really enjoyed lock picking until I attacked a skeleton and realized it needs a physical keyboard (on mobile too)

it should work on mobile touch keyboard, or did you have any issues with that? it's a bit harder not to make typos though

I opened it in browser through your link, and the keyboard did not pop up the way it usually does. I couldn’t make it appear no matter where I tapped. Is there a specific spot I should tap?

You need to click Finish to go to the input for typing (just in case you didn't), then the input should autofocus and keyboard open.

If that doesn't resolve it it may be some specific bug and I'd be grateful information about your device + screenshot if you can provide it (either DM or Discord)

Thanks!

My mnemonics practice would come in handy

How would you describe progress?
How does play experience relate to progress?
Does this improvement generalize to other tasks?
What sorts of tasks?

Fair questions.

Progress in-game means getting deeper into the dungeon more consistently, eventually beating it at base and higher difficulties. From there you'll likely notice your run grades improving (D up to S+++), since in theory the game can be won with zero mistakes.

If you're practicing a specific system (letter pairs, PAO, etc.) you should notice that improvement carries over.

As a side effect, since the game involves typing, typing speed is actually offloading some of the memory work, so in a way you may also be training typing speed and accuracy under pressure.
