How it feels

A relentless arcade shooter where you must type words to survive, demanding perfect focus and reflexes against colorful bullet hell chaos.

What players say

Players say TYPECAST blends typing with bullet hell action, but instead of typing words you tap individual keys to shoot while dodging with the mouse. It is brutally difficult even for fast typists, and opinion splits on whether the menus and controls are polished or janky.
