The goal of this game is pretty simple. Type the falling words as fast as you can before they reach the bottom of the screen. To give up on a word you can press backspace.

Not surprisingly, there's not a lot of fancy tech behind this game and the falling words are simply generated with a bit of DHTML. The word list is (randomly?) generated at the beginning of each game and then loaded with Ajax. There's also a high score table made with PHP.

Steff describes this speed typing game as "kind of like Dance Dance Revolution" and that's not far off. Letters move up from the bottom of the screen and when they reach the top, you type the letter. A danger meter fills up when you miss a letter and when it's full, the game is over. Simple, no? The concept is easy to grasp and the difficulty is low to begin with, but as the number of letters and speed at which they move increase, the game gets progressively harder.

A fun challenge for anyone who wants to have fun while practicing their typing skills.
