Remember that you're paying for a subscription. Years ago I bought this thinking the subscription agreement is just there so the author can pull the plug if hosting the project became unprofitable. Nope. It was a subscription to make more money, which is understandable, but is not worth it imho.

This thing is ancient, I tried playing this for a bit way before I actually started on my Vim journey some 7 years ago. My dad introduced me to this, and I didn't really see the point to it, never really came back to it either, so I have no idea how useful it actually is, but I'm glad it's still around.
I'm sure there's better Vim learning tools these days. Though it should be noted that learning to use hjkl doesn't remotely begin to cover the expressiveness of vim keybinds for editing, and I think this tool at least goes more in depth than most others.

I learned Vim on this game 6-8 years ago. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to dive in!
edit There was not a paywall when I did it. Bummer.

This does cost money, but if you are serious about learning vim, this is an excellent game, and reasonably priced. One benefit I found is that the game creates a curriculum that exposes you to things you wouldn't otherwise try in your day to day, simply because you don't know them.
It helped improve my vim muscle memory substantially. Well done imo.

This is great. I haven't used Vim in years - at least not seriously. I'm surprised as much by how much I remember as how much I've forgotten

This is how I learned vim. Money well spent.
