Type to Survive
Every Word Keeps You Alive.
Type to Survive is an experimental browser-based typing game created to explore the combination of fast-paced survival gameplay with typing mechanics. Players must quickly type the words displayed above approaching enemies before they reach the character, turning keyboard accuracy into the primary weapon. The project was built as an experiment in gameplay design, balancing reaction speed, typing proficiency, and increasing difficulty. While the current version is playable on the web, I am conceptualizing a future Android adaptation that transforms it into a traditional endless runner experience by replacing the typing mechanics with mobile-friendly gameplay.

The idea
This was one of the games I created purely as an experiment to explore whether typing mechanics could drive an engaging survival experience. It also serves as the foundation for a future concept that I plan to reimagine as an Android endless runner with redesigned gameplay.
