Orbital typing defense
Wordfall
Protect the field by typing incoming threats before they reach their destination.
The idea behind the game
An orbital typing-defense game that turns incoming letters into spatial threats and typing accuracy into the core defense mechanic.
Typing is not presented as a detached speed test: targets occupy space and create visible danger around the defended orbit. The result is an arcade loop where attention, accuracy, and target prioritization matter alongside raw typing speed.
