Thank you for playing and for the wonderful comments! This really makes our day!
For the correction stripe tactic, we found that out too during play testing and decided to keep it as is. It's like one of those indended cheese that felt so obvious once discovered, and would be really satisfying once known. (I said one of, which there's another cheese tactic that will make another risk obsolete once found :P)
The caret is an interesting one. I've looked at a few images of different typewriters, and some of them have way worse caret! Not sure what to do, but there must be a way to make the caret look authentic while functional in-game.
Checkboxes are a really good idea. Why haven't we thought of that earlier?
Anyway, thank you hugely for the comments! This would definitely help us a lot!
