You are a lone cursor in a cruel world full of words. Avoid the terrible deadline by typing the platforms that are gonna carry you to your victory or at least prolong your short existence. Create platforms by typing them and platforming around to score as many words as possible.

Words are your path, your score, your lifeblood and your currency as you can spend them in shops to make the typing and platforming a bit easier.



Controls:

- Movement - A/D
- Jumping - Space
- Pause - ESC
- Words and all - everything else is controlled by, well, typing
- Purchasing upgrades from shops is done by typing *buy*
- Double/Super Jump - both of these can be charged by typing their respective words
