a new typing game and some big updates
Mar 16th
First of all I have just released a brand new typing game called Keyboard Simon, so have a look and let me know what you think or how it can be improved.
Secondly, I am in the process of redoing all the games to work out any kinks and generally improve the game experience. I have currently changed over 6 of the games and I will be working on the remaining six in the coming week. Once I get them all updated I will get the high score system working again to encourage a little friendly competition.
Finger Frenzy
Jan 12th
This is a very basic typing game – hardly even a game actually, more of an exercise – where you need to type the letters of the alphabet in order as fast as you can. That’s it. Compete for high scores and try to improve on your own best times.
Key Hero Typing Test
Jan 11th
I just became aware of an excellent new typing test that recently appeared on the scene. It’s called Key Hero and it features some very detailed reporting on your typing performance. At the same time though, it’s simple to use and understand, making it pretty much one of the best all-around WPM typing tests to be found on the web.
Here are a couple of screenshots. It’s a little embarrassing to post my results, as you might think I would be a little better typist considering that I run this website. But alas, I my touch-typing skills are not what they could or should be:
Alpha Drop
Dec 18th
A simple falling letters game with nice graphics and sound. Perfect for kids looking to work on their touch-typing skills.
Dino Kids Trash Typer
Dec 18th
This is a cute, kid-friendly game in the type-the-falling-words genre. Nice graphics accompanied by music and sound effect make it an engaging play.
Typing Tone
Dec 18th
A catchy little typing game with a musical theme. Type the correct letters as they pass by like music notes and the little boy plays his guitar.
WPM Test #4
Dec 8th
Type the words as fast as you can. Letters disappear as you type them. After you complete the test, you will see a results screen that shows your wpm (words per minute) typing speed.
The text for this test is latin. For some, this might be a more effective way to assess your typing speed as you will be using words you don’t recognize and therefore will have to type by sight. There are a number of different paragraphs to test yourself with
Gyroshi
Dec 7th
Gyroshi is as much a musical experience as a typing game. Type the right letters at the right time (when they get in the circles). The game will look bland at first but it gets very intense when you’re doing good. See how long you can last in this colorful rhythm game.
Type Master
Nov 17th
This is a simple little typing game / wpm typing test. You have a series of 10 phrases you need to type as quickly as possible after which it gives you a score and your WPM typing speed. The game has catchy graphics and sound, but unfortunately it is limited to one set of sentences so it gets old really quickly. Still, it’s worth playing a couple times to test your typing skills.
