Before you play · Orchard Teaches Typing
The website language and the game language are different. Check the creator-declared languages and controls below before opening the game.
A starting approach
Let the boot animation finish before inserting a cartridge, then follow the Enter prompts. In Typing of the Crab, read the word above an enemy and type it while keeping an eye on both the tree and your hearts. Arrow keys move, Space dashes and Esc pauses. Our check covered this cartridge only.
Our play check
Desktop check on 24 October 2026: started Typing of the Crab, entered visible words, moved, dashed and paused. The run ended with a Game Over screen showing score 52 and grade C. This verifies an interactive opening attempt, not completion of the seven stages or all four cartridges. Mobile play has not been tested.
