TL;DR
(Work in progress. Sounds and Graphics not final at all)
TL;DR
Type books. Automate typing. Read books you've typed.
TL;DR is an idle typing game where you transcribe entire books, one character at a time. Every word earns tokens. Tokens buy upgrades. Upgraded keys type themselves — turning yellow in the text, racing ahead of your cursor, until the whole line sweeps forward on its own.
It starts as a typing game. It becomes something quieter.
How to play
- Type the character shown by the cursor
- Complete words to earn tokens
- Spend tokens on the virtual keyboard to upgrade individual keys
- Upgraded keys auto-type their character in the text ahead of you
- When a whole word is fully auto-typed, your next keypress sweeps through it automatically
- Finish a book to add it to your library — and read it back in full
