Type to attack. Type to shop. Type to survive.

Typesmith is a roguelike where words drift toward your core  type them to destroy them before they land. Every word you clear scores Chips × Mult, and beating the round's target keeps your run alive.

Every part of the game is typed

  • Combat is typing. The words coming at you are the enemies. Speed and accuracy are your damage.
  • Relics. Balatro-style relics that rewrite how scoring works from run to run.
  • Key enchantments. Per-key upgrades, so individual letters start paying differently.
  • A shop with no buttons. You buy a relic by typing its name. Reroll, sell and next are words too.

How to play

  • Click the game once, then start typing - the embed needs focus before it can read your keys.
  • Clear enough words to hit the round's target score before the timer runs out.
  • Spend your winnings between rounds, stack effects that combo, and see how far one run goes.
  • Esc pauses and resumes.

Free, runs right here in your browser, no download. Best played with a full keyboard.

This is a prototype - tell me what you think

It is an early build, and feedback shapes what gets built next: what felt great, what felt unfair, which relics you wanted to build around, and the score you managed. Leave a comment below with your best run.
