Reviews

“Typing is a lost skill for the iPad generation. Star Rune is such a promising educational project. I’m pleasantly surprised that it’s able to incorporate both research-backed direct instruction elements and high-engagement gameplay. Typing is an essential 21st century literacy skill and Star Rune is an amazing way to teach children.”

“The really cool thing with this game was he kept talking out loud to himself, asking where this key and that key was. But he would try really hard to remember instead of just look down. In the 30 minutes he played, he actually grew in proficiency significantly. I’ve tried to get him to do typing games in the past, but he lost interest so fast in those. I had to stop him from playing this one, so he could get his chores done.”
10 – Aaron Craig

About This Game

Type And Slash

Star Rune is a thrilling, beginner friendly typing game that also teaches a little chemistry.

You're the Last Star in Cyberspace. Type and slash through hordes of Evil Letters. Defeat the Elementals. Use the Elementals to forge Runes (chemicals / alloys). Unlock new heroes and wield 12 Legendary Swords as you race to save the universe!

Much, much more!!

Use [Space], [Tab], [Caps], [Shift], [F1-12] to perform even more techniques, Slow Fall, Fast Fall, Meteor, Ground Pound, Ceiling Charge, Shift, Shift Spin, Quick Switch, etc... There will also be EPIC Boss Fights, Rune Crafting, Cookie Power-Ups, and some other special goodies. But those features are currently under construction.

🎬 EVERY STROKE = ACTION.

In Star Rune, every single stroke is rewarded. Explosions, sliced letters, falling enemies, treasure, dashing across the screen, etc... these are all performed by single strokes. This is especially important to kids/new typists who struggle to find one key at a time. But for those who type fast, you'll feel a rush you won't forget.

😊 BEGINNER FRIENDLY / NO DEATH

You're don't die. Attacks are automatically deflected. The challenge isn't "will you survive". Instead, it's "how fast can go". You can think of Star Rune as a racing game with fighting game mechanics. 

Beginners can take their time and pro's can go crazy maxing out their speed.

⌨ NATURAL TYPING

• Type to move; no more holding WASD 90% of the game. 
• [Spacebar] is not forgotten about! :D

📚 LEARN MORE WITH LORE

Most games give you Copper, Silver, Gold....

BUT WHERE IS THE BROMINE, BRO!?? 

Why not Tungsten and Bismuth and Vanadium and Iridium too? COLLECT THEM ALL, and combine them to craft RUNES (aka chemicals / alloys). Plus, each Level and Boss is named after a real element and the names of Heroes, Swords, Wizards, etc.. are all mnemonic devices. Elements from the same column are color coded and their levels have matching environment types to really help internalize the periodic table. You won't even realize how much you're learning while you play.
