Use your words… TO LIVE. Typistry is an FPS typing tutor, wherein you face a horde of creatures armed only with a sweet laser typewriter.
How to play
Point, click, and type. Each enemy has three words you can use to attack it; you can type the longest one to kill it in one hit, or the two shorter ones to wear it down. In version 1.1 and later, you can heal yourself by right-clicking and typing any of the words that appear.
Post-Jam Updates
I’m actively working on improvements to add in the stuff I didn’t finish in time. The first update, version 1.1, is available at the itch.io page below and includes:
- a difficulty curve!
- a sprint button!
- scores!
- healing!
Still on the to-do list:
- more stuff in the level!
- sounds!
- another type of enemy!
- better visual effects!
Tools used
- Unreal Engine
- Cinema 4D
- Substance Designer
- GarageBand
