Read full description

Your keyboard is your weapon. Word Hunt turns typing into fast, colorful tower defense. Follow the continuous word stream and enter each character correctly to fire an arrow. Every accurate keystroke attacks the enemy closest to your tower, but only after it enters your defense range. Stay calm as zombies and skeletons close in from every direction. Balance speed with accuracy, keep your tower standing, and fight your way through unique environments packed with increasingly challenging stages. Clear all 8 levels in an environment to conquer it and unlock the next one. WHY YOU’LL LOVE WORD HUNT • TYPE TO ATTACK Every correct character launches an arrow. No complicated aiming. Your archer automatically targets the closest danger within range. • ENDLESS TYPING FLOW Move through a continuous stream of words without breaking your rhythm. The faster and more accurately you type, the stronger your defense becomes. • CONQUER UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTS Your adventure is divided into different environments, each featuring 8 levels to clear. Survive every stage to complete the environment and unlock your next destination. • GROW STRONGER AS YOU PROGRESS Use upgrades to strengthen your defense and prepare for tougher enemies as you advance through each environment. • COLORFUL ENEMY VARIETY Face playful low-poly zombies, skeletons, and other enemies with different health, movement speed, damage, attack range, and attack timing. • EARN REWARDS Defeat enemies to collect gold and gems as you clear levels and push toward new environments. • QUICK, SKILL-BASED ACTION Short levels make Word Hunt easy to pick up for a few minutes, while increasingly difficult environments reward focus, reactions, accuracy, and typing speed. One mistyped letter can cost precious time. One perfect streak can save your tower. Draw your bow. Find your rhythm. Clear every environment. How far can your typing take you?
