About the Game

Type Fighters is a retro typing game where every word you type unleashes an attack. Battle 15 eccentric gym leaders, each with their own move pool, AI patterns, and a signature move — beat them and steal it for yourself. Type fast, type smart, type to win.

Beneath the pixel-art surface lies a fighting game. Fire melts Ice, Ice grounds Thunder, Thunder burns Fire — and Shadow pierces straight through shields. Discover hidden moves by typing unexpected words: 150+ to find, from devastating ultimates to a move called "boop". Stuck? The hint system drops riddles when you need them. The typing is the hook; the strategy is the game.

  • Gym Circuit — Defeat all 15 leaders to earn their badges... and their signature moves

  • The Gauntlet (Steam) — Survive 50 waves with one life and limited move charges. Every 10th fighter is a gym boss. How far can you get?

  • Online Battle — 1v1 typing duels. Share a room code, race to type first, fight

  • Local Battle — 1v1 on one device. Settle it on the same keyboard

  • The Dojo — 60-second onboarding. You'll discover your first hidden move before your first real fight

  • Collections — Track badges, your growing word bank, stats, and achievements

Fast typing + tactical depth. Casual enough for anyone; rewarding enough for speedrunners. 150+ moves to discover. 13 achievements. Competitive leaderboards. Retro vibes, modern bite.
