Stage
Warm up. A friendly first run. Build accuracy before you chase speed.
Defend the lanes with accurate typing
- Start a wave and watch the enemies approaching along the keyboard lanes.
- Type the displayed targets to defend against the attacks.
- The lanes represent finger assignments on the keyboard. Where typing history is available, practice can focus on weaker assignments.
The game knows which keys you pressed, not which physical fingers you used. Follow the finger-placement guide and keep your hands relaxed.

What this game trains
Switching targets without losing position. Several threats are live at once, so the hands must move between them and return to the home row each time rather than drifting across the keyboard. Holding that anchor under pressure is what the game is really measuring.
Who it suits
Typists whose accuracy falls apart when more than one thing needs attention, which is most people moving from drills to real writing.
Common questions
Does the game know which finger I used?
No, and nothing on this site claims to. It records which keys were pressed and when. The lanes are drawn from the standard finger assignments to show which part of the keyboard is costing you time, but whether you used the correct finger is something only you can see.
Why does my accuracy drop as the wave gets busier?
Usually because the hands stop returning to the home row between targets. Once the anchor goes, every reach is measured from wherever the hand happened to stop, and errors compound. Slowing down for one wave to re-establish the position is usually faster over three.
