Letter Launch
Aug 5th
This latest typing game is very simple to learn and play but actually pretty fun. The goal is to launch all your letters from their place at the bottom of the screen to the top, while avoiding the obstacles moving back and forth in between. There are also bonus targets you can aim for once you get more practiced and in tune with the timing. Just type the corresponding key on your keyboard and it will launch upwards.

Once you have typed a word, hit the space bar or enter key to submit it. Also, use space/enter to clear any mistake you make, as the delete key will not work.
Each level consists of 20 words. You must eliminate them all before the stack hits the top in order to proceed to the next level; otherwise your game is over.
The levels move in sets of 3. Within a set, length of the words remains the same while their rising speed increases. After each set, the word length goes up one and the speed resets.
