About On the Keyboard

Game Summary

This is a keyboard action game where you control a virtual keyboard to carry a Sphere.

The controls are simple: just follow your intuition and press the keys. The virtual keys that correspond to the ones you press will move, and the Sphere will move in response to the force from the keys. Your goal is to carry the Sphere to the finish line without letting it fall off the keyboard.

However, you can't move the Sphere directly, so it often won't behave as you'd like. To manage this irregular Sphere behavior, you’ll need to quickly identify and press the right key from the 40 available. This makes the game more action-packed than it may initially seem.
Moreover, even though it's challenging enough to move the Sphere as intended, the path to the goal is filled with various obstacles that block your way. Overcoming these obstacles requires flexible thinking and skillful manipulation of the keyboard.

Additionally, this game also functions as a typing game, as understanding the spatial arrangement of the keys is crucial. It can improve typing accuracy for both beginners and experienced typists. Why not sharpen your typing skills while having fun with an action-packed game?

And be careful not to break your keyboard!

✦ AI summary

Players praise this innovative sphere-rolling game for its fresh mechanics that use the entire keyboard for precise control, offering a satisfying challenge with good tactile feedback and relaxing music. However, a notable complaint is the lack of AZERTY keyboard support, which limits accessibility for players using that layout despite the game's keyboard-centric design.

It's a good game but sadly it has no AZERTY setting

An innovative and fresh take on sphere-rolling games, this title uses the entire keyboard to control your movements. Each key corresponds to a block on the screen, and pressing the right ones at the right time elevates the blocks to guide your sphere through intricate paths. It's a test of both reflexes and coordination, offering a satisfying challenge for those who enjoy overcoming steep learning curves. The keyboard's tactile feedback and the game's relaxing background music add an extra layer of immersion. Despite its difficulty, there's a rewarding sense of accomplishment as you progress. Perfect for players who love to refine their skills and for streamers looking to share an engaging experience with their audience.
