Game Overview

TYPESH*T is a typing game where the player must type to defeat monsters. Monsters as in the chores and responsibilities that any normal person must conquer in life! Type to kill the task of fixing your car, filing taxes, and many more horrors…  This game was created for the 2026 GMTK Game Jam and follows the theme “Count down”. Our team decided to create a timed game where speed is key to winning.  The game is built to be run on Windows and was built with Unreal Engine 5.6

Controls and Mechanics

To play, use a keyboard to type and a mouse to interact with the UI.

Deal damage to monsters by typing out words, but watch out for the countdown! There is a timer counting down from 20 seconds and with every monster that the player defeats, another 5 seconds is added to the timer. The player must defeat all the monsters before time runs out or it’s game over!
