BreakOut Typing

BreakOut Typing

Heavily inspired by Breakout/Arkanoid type games, BreakOut Typing combines block destruction with learn to type mechanics. Although not as riveting as classic Arkanoid, typing to keep your ball alive is much more difficult.

There are two words displayed on the screen, one on the left and one on the right. when you enter one of the words, the paddle will move to that location. If the ball is headed to the middle, you must time your word entry so that the ball will hit the paddle.
