Type Fire

by lizzyli
co-authored: @risu
An old typewriter. A sheet of paper. Enemies closing in.

Turn words into weapons in this arcade shoot ’em up! Spell out weapon names to fire and slide the typewriter’s carriage to dodge incoming danger.

Battle through prehistoric times, the Middle Ages, the modern digital world, and an alien invasion. From AXE to SCRIPT to MISSILE, your arsenal evolves—and so does the challenge.

Keep your words sharp and your carriage moving. History won’t write itself.

How to Play
Click the typewriter’s letter keys in order to spell a weapon name.
Complete the word to fire automatically. No Enter key needed!
Drag the carriage slider to move your character left and right, dodging enemies and attacks.
Defeat enemies and each era’s boss to advance to the next chapter.

Really cool idea! It’s a shame I couldn’t type everything using the keyboard.

I liked the visuals, but the sounds felt a bit too loud 😵.

@cptdrusha Thank you so much! Sorry about the music. I'll try to fix that TT (btw we choose using only mouse on purpose to make it more challenging so be proud of yourself

The input method is too complex, but it's still a good concept!

Ayo what a concept to type out your attacks and the history progression aha thank you it's really nice!

Your idea fits the theme perfectly! Civilization is an axe that cleaves through the unknown. My hand’s a little sore, though.

The interaction mechanics are the highlight—I’d love to play more, but it seems there’s only one level (or maybe I just encountered a bug).

The visuals and sound are great.

such a clever idea! it combines typing gameplay and shoot'em up. The art and storytelling work really well together!

The way your arsenal evolves from an old AXE to a high-tech MISSILE across different eras is such a clever concept. It blends the slow, deliberate nature of typing with intense arcade action really well!
