Good

• Overall the game is a lot fun with humor and silliness.
• Not knowing about the game was hidden in a parent game was quite a shock for me when I entered TXT World.
• The homage to ZZT is nice, but the game goes above and beyond adding many different rules and items.
• The rules of TXT World are quite unusual and require a bit of trial and error to figure out, but it's done in a way that makes it fun.
• There are dozens of references to other games including The Legend of Zelda, Adventure, Nethack, Where in the World Is Carmen San Diego, Flappy Bird, and more.
• The minigames run through all sorts of genres and require different skills. Some of them are especially clever, but none of them are too difficult.
• The comments by the helper fairy and the radio broadcasts when you get purple items are both funny.
• The Sparxis minigame, while not as fun as a game, is really hilarious as an interactive story.
• The real-time chess game was a lot of fun.
• The translation puzzle with the frog was really fun and challenging.
• The creepiness at the end of TXT World was pretty awesome.
• The ending after the credits was funny.

Bad

• The parent game crashed on me several times. I almost gave up on it before discovering TXT World.
• The sword gets in the way a lot, but it does make for some interesting puzzles.
• The assistant to the assistant portion of the credits is funny at first, but gets old. But, I guess it's just a setup to get the player to hit the fast forward button.

Ugly

• Nothing.
