About

HyperType is a fast-paced synthwave typing shooter where your words are your weapons.
Enemies rush in from the skyline, every correct keypress fires back, and the pressure ramps up as the level speed climbs.

The project blends:

  • retro-futuristic visual design
  • responsive arcade-style gameplay
  • typing accuracy and speed mechanics
  • achievements, profiles, and high score progression

Features

  • Three difficulty modes: Beginner, Challenging, and Insane
  • Guest play for quick runs
  • Account login and registration flow
  • Achievement unlocks and badge gallery
  • High score and run stat tracking
  • Boss encounters and escalating enemy pressure
  • GPU / particle warm-up flow to reduce first-effect hitching
  • Pause menu with continue, restart, and return-to-menu actions

Gameplay

The core loop is simple:

  1. Pick a difficulty.
  2. Type incoming words correctly to destroy enemies.
  3. Build streaks, survive mistakes, and push your score higher.
  4. Defeat bosses, unlock achievements, and chase better runs.

HyperType is designed to feel immediate and readable, with strong visual feedback, punchy UI, and a classic cyber-arcade mood.

Built With

  • Godot 4
  • GDScript

Running Locally

  1. Open the project in Godot 4.
