A fun little diversion to keep your typing skills sharp.
Not recommended Jul 14, 2024
PROS - It teaches you typing under stress FWIW. CONS - Endless, but you can get all the achievements in 40 mins or so. - Contents are REALLY barebones.
Not recommended Dec 27, 2023
A rudimentary and unfair typing game. Basically Digital Trash that should have died with the Age of Flash Games.

Great game for the price!
Recommended Jul 6, 2023
I'll recommend it for the price I got it for, 50 cents (or free gift, get all the achievements and move on) a dollar welll..... it could use a little more content lol. sounds are too much like Age of Empires 2, surprised no one's mentioned that. Elephant is annoying as heck. this is pretty mid 5/10 3/5, not bad enough to give a no recommend tho. But, the upgrade/repair/bomb/slow accessibility are not good, why even have a keyboard displayed so big... that is the worst UI. and not enough upgrades, once you get all the achievements, you close it lol. Edit: forgot the most important detail, the thumbnail is misleading, "best typing game" I don't think anyone can fall for that xd but just saying... for me that may go to Typershark or Typeracer.

As a typer game it really doesn't give you much rest time at all inbetween waves unless you're using the bombard feature. If you are a fast typer (70+ wpm at least) then I would imagine you might be able to 100% this game, but I really don't see the point. The primary gameplay loop isn't so much entertaining as it is just pressing you continually so you don't thjink about wether you are having fun you just know that you ahve to type. Not a great game for learnign to type, and not what I would all an entertaining typing game unfrotunately.
