Type the letters or words as they fall down from the sky. If you miss one, a meteor will drop. You can shoot down meteors using your turret, which you can control using the arrow keys and the space bar. Try to shoot down any meteors before they touch the ground.
You can press Escape at any time to pause the game and practice the keyboard. Remember that some letters also require the Shift key to type.
If you’d like to practice before trying a real round, check out the Tutorial on the main menu.
There are 5 game modes, which can be chosen from the Options menu.
Consonants Only: This mode is for practicing only the consonants. The round ends after the timer finishes.
Vowels Only: This mode is for practicing only the vowels. The round ends after the timer finishes.
All Letters: This mode is for practicing both vowels and consonants. The round ends after the timer finishes.
Master Mode: Letters will continue to fall more frequently and faster over time, making it more difficult the longer you play. There is no timer, so try to score as high as you can.
Words: This mode is for practicing full words. Typing the wrong letter in a word will not cause a meteor to drop, but letting a word hit the ground will.
There are also a variety of falling items that you can find while playing.
Health Packs: These heal your health, but not completely.
Comets: For a short time, the screen will freeze and everything slows down to a crawl.
Nuclear Bombs: All letters, words, and meteors are instantly removed from the screen.
Bonus Powerup: For a short time, you can earn double the points for any letter or word.
Turret Powerup: There are 3 power levels, and each increases the size and speed of your turret’s fire.
