Space Typer

Space Typer puts the player behind the controls of a small spaceship with asteroids drifting toward it. Each asteroid has a letter, short word, or key combo written on it, and typing the text correctly destroys the asteroid before impact. The further into the game you get, the faster the asteroids come. The difficulty ramps across three phases — single letters first, then two- and three-letter combos, then full short words — so the same game can grow with a child over several weeks. We don't use any violent imagery; asteroids simply dissolve into sparkles when typed. Aimed at 2nd and 3rd graders who know the full keyboard and want something more exciting than a plain drill.
