What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have proven that the game has a great game design loop and a fresh take on the roguelite/typing genre. We have many ideas about where we want to take the game, but we want a community of dedicated players to bounce those ideas off and see which they respond to best.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan on being in Early Access for a minimum of 6 months up to at most 1 year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We’re adding a large amount of new systems to the game that will require a lot of testing and iteration as we build content for them. These include a weapon Evolution system that changes the core functionality of each weapon based on usage, a mission system that allows the game to be played in more manageable sprints, as well as new bosses and weapons. These will be available in the EA version with a basic amount of content that allows it to be playable but will not be complete.

We’re planning to create additional content for the new systems based on the feedback we receive during EA, in addition to making improvements to how each system functions within the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The "About this Game" section on the main store page reflects the current state of the Early Access version of the game.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we plan to raise the price as we release new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are already actively involving our community in the development process by taking suggestions and feedback in our discord server and the steam forums. We expect Early Access will amplify this to the benefit of the game and our players.”

About This Game

Typing tutor meets horde survival in this fast-paced roguelite that challenges your speed, accuracy, and strategy. Step into a minimalist arena and dominate the battlefield using your typing skills and your trusty keyboard.

Not Your Ordinary Typing Test

Type the word above an enemy to finish them off. Challenge your focus and speed as bigger waves and wicked words try to slow you down and take you out.

These wily words also have a few tricks up their sleeves. Deterministic drones will simply edge closer towards you, but egregious enemies like Swarmers will fire their little bullets at you, while Shooters charge up to unleash hell on you.

Kit Out; Don’t Keysmash

Furiously fast fingers will never be enough! Upgrade your arsenal with unlockable weapons and loot that can help you make quick work of each wave of words.

Each build is uniquely yours. Set up your Oscillator and Sentry to take care of a large swathe of territory while you pick off the stragglers, or minmax your main weapon to evolve into an alphabet assassinator? The choice is yours!

(Hot)Swap your Strategies in Formidable Boss Fights

There are multiple trials for you to overcome, and a boss guarding the end of each trial. Defeating the trials unlock challenging Omens that make your enemies even more formidable. Can you out-type and outwit our orthographic overlords?

Control Freaks Rejoice!

Hate keyboards with a passion? Or are you just better with a controller? We have you covered with controller mode that works for any controller you might have, or even on the go with your Steam Deck!

Escalating Beats to Defeat Enemies to

Get into your flow state and provide your best typing performance under pressure, accompanied by pulsating techno beats to carry you to victory.
