01 · Type to fire
code
The current word is always in the TARGET box under the battlefield (normally the nearest enemy's; at the start of a word, typing another enemy's first letter makes that word current instead). Its bubble sits on top of the others, with a dashed sight-line and a ring under its feet. Type straight through it: the next letter is always underlined , every correct letter fires, and the letter rides the bullet, hits, and greys out. When every letter position has been entered, the enemy falls and the next word comes up.
02 · A miss fires back
✕
A wrong letter never halts you — including the very first letter of a word. It is marked red, the enemy fires back (hero −8 HP when the shot lands, streak reset) — and the word simply moves on to the next letter. Example: for apple , typing appel scores app as three hits and the last two keys as two misses, and the word is finished. There is no backspace; every letter key counts and moves you forward.
03 · Kills, the line & waves
An enemy's health is its word: one hit per letter, and it falls on the last one. Score is 10 per letter (with a streak multiplier every 12 in a row) plus a completion bonus. An enemy that reaches THE LINE stops there and keeps shooting the hero. Every 8 kills starts a new wave: faster walkers, faster spawns, longer words, more brutes. The run ends when the hero's HP reaches zero.
▸ RUNNER small & quick · short words
▸ WALKER the standard march · mid words
▸ BRUTE slow & tall · long words, many hits
04 · Shield & lines
Every word finished with no typo also heals the hero +2 HP (up to 100). Type two of those in a row and a shield rises around the hero (watch the HUD under his HP). While it is up, enemy shots bounce off — no HP lost . It stays until your first typo , which brings it down at once; then you must earn it again with two more clean words.
Later on (wave 3) some enemies carry a simple line instead of a word, tagged — LINE — . Type the whole line: spaces count and are shown as ␣ . Line carriers walk slower, but their lines are long.
