Funny Bones

free typing and vocabulary game with a bunch of story levels unlocking mostly one by one in a linear fashion. completing all but the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous one on the side unlocks infinite mode with an online leaderboard. not sure why it doesn't become available after chapter 1, unnecessary restriction. especially with some of the random ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pulled in chapter 2. [b]no mid-level saving[/b] either, quit and lose progress. instant and silent text is good but missing punctuation is annonying and lazy. especially when they went the extra mile to add always unnecessary ellipses. also, [b]all the dialog has to be skipped every time a level restarts[/b]. only a single volume slider even though there's incredibly repetitive music and some sfx, plus windowed mode, aspect ratio and a couple of languages. nothing but the volume is accessible while playing a level. [b]the game isn't 100% keyboardable, unacceptable from a typing game[/b] but mouse works for navigation and to advance text. [b]level select is really ♥♥♥♥ and tedious.[/b] the way it's laid out, only a few levels (and sometimes just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ONE) fit the screen, have to drag the whole thing around and can't zoom out to see all of …

Funny Bones by Red Monkey Studio is a compact, arcade-style typing game that takes a surprisingly energetic approach to what is often a slow-paced, educational genre. Built around the idea of assembling skeletons by typing anatomical terms, the game merges reflex-based gameplay with word recognition in a way that feels both playful and mildly instructive. It doesn’t aim to be a deep or expansive experience, but rather a focused, high-tempo challenge that tests speed, accuracy, and concentration in short bursts. The central gameplay loop is simple but effective. Words appear on screen—typically representing different bones or body parts—and players must type them correctly to complete pieces of a skeleton before time runs out. Each successful input leads directly into the next, creating a continuous flow that gradually accelerates. Early moments are approachable and even relaxing, giving players time to adjust to the rhythm, but the pace quickly intensifies. As the speed increases, the game becomes more demanding, requiring quicker reactions and sharper focus. This escalation is where Funny Bones finds its identity, transforming a basic typing mechanic into something closer to an a…

Breaking my honse game review streak because this is honestly such a fun and charming hidden jem! I didn't even know typing games excisted before this but I'm so glad I checked it out :) (I love the necromancers they so silly I feel maternal)

The fact that it's free is the reason I'm giving it more grace here, but I ultimately left feeling more frustrated than anything. It's fun for a level or three, but quickly becomes frustrating. For starters, the 3 star requirements aren't accurate - on one of the levels, it says you need a score of 1k, but it actually appears to be closer to 2k, as I could not get this star completed until my score for that level was over 2k. Also, when you learn spells that harm you, sometimes the words won't actually be red but still harm you anyway. The main reason I stopped was the combo requirements. If these were just for stars, then okay, maybe I wouldn't have cared as much. But some levels require you to reach very high combo numbers for the level to actually end, and your combo is reset to 0 if you make a mistake. Type too fast for the game to recognize, and it'll count as a mistake and drop your combo to 0. Some levels were damn near endless for me as I struggled to keep a combo going to 150, let alone the level that requires 1000 (although that's optional, so that's fine, but it's an insane number to attempt, regardless of the combo spells you get). The combo requirements is wha…

Super cute little game. Love the artstyle so much. Sometimes it's quite hard to tell what a new word will be from a picture but once you figure i out after the first time it's totally fine! My only issue is good lord I can't spell and this game has parts where it removes letters for you to guess them. Evil... PS, this game works fully for me on steam deck, but better docked so try it out on deck too!
