Read full description

TypeBox is a retro boxing game where typing speed and accuracy drive every punch. Train your fingers, fight pixel opponents, climb your rating, and test your speed. Choose Career Mode for a structured 24-fighter challenge, Quick Match for a fast local fight, or Duel to compare your measured WPM and rating with a similarly skilled public profile. Duel opponents are simulated locally, so the match stays responsive even when a live player is unavailable. Improve accuracy, learn each opponent’s rhythm, unlock tougher challenges, and keep your progress, WPM, wins, losses, and rating in one place.
