Type faster. Aim cleaner. Win the battle. Battle Type transforms typing practice into a neon arcade competition. Build speed and accuracy in solo runs, race your own best performances in Ghost Challenges, or face real players through Game Center and nearby device battles. CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE • Words: type passages across headlines, quotes, books, poetry, speeches, music, arts, and pop culture • Numbers: sharpen numeric speed and control • Glyphs: decode custom symbol sets from easy to expert A FRESH PASSAGE EVERY MATCH Words battles draw live text matched to the era and category you picked, credited on screen and never served twice. Speeches come from real transcripts. Play offline and Battle Type falls back to its own written passages, so a match is always ready. BATTLE YOUR WAY • Train solo with sessions from 30 seconds to 3 minutes • Invite a friend through Game Center, or match with whoever is searching • Start encrypted peer-to-peer battles with nearby players • Rematch the same opponent instantly with RUN IT BACK • Challenge saved ghosts from your strongest runs EVERY CHARACTER COUNTS Every correct keystroke scores one character, and the reach some characters demand pays a separate bonus — punctuation and capitals earn +1, numbers and symbols +2. Characters, then total bonus, then errors decide the match, set your personal best, and choose which run becomes your ghost. SEE EVERY IMPROVEMENT Track live characters, bonus, accuracy, errors and progress during each run. The finish screen leads with the battle you just played, draws both runs on one pace chart, and shows exactly which figure settled it. CHASE THE SIGNAL Unlock more than 40 badges for speed, accuracy, perfect runs, long combos, prompt types, eras, categories, multiplayer wins, and ghost victories. Whether you are building keyboard confidence or chasing triple-digit WPM, Battle Type makes every keypress feel like part of the fight.
