Learn a language by typing it. Every word you blast is a word you keep. HOW YOU LEARN Every planet is a themed lesson with a path: word missions first, in your language and then in the one you are learning. Then the QUIZ and the REVERSED QUIZ. Then PHRASES and SENTENCES, the LADDER (word, phrase, sentence) and a SENTENCE QUIZ. A boss guards the end. By the time a planet is yours, you have typed every word of it a dozen ways. TYPE IT, SAY IT Every word passes through your fingers, and every language has its own keys, from Polish accents to Cyrillic and kana, so muscle memory keeps them apart. Progress counts per language; rule galaxies in three and the game names you a polyglot. Every word is also spoken aloud, and you can answer the same way: tap MIC, say the word, and the cannon fires. Each planet has a SPEAK station where you answer out loud. Recognition runs on your device after a one-time download; your voice is never recorded or sent anywhere. WHY IT STICKS Spaced repetition decides what falls next. The game brings every word back at the moment you are about to forget it, as a distress signal on your screen. Rescue it and it stays. Under every word, a line spells out how it sounds, written the way your own language spells sounds, and every kill plays the pronunciation. No flashcards, no lesson screens. Just one more run. 15 LANGUAGES, ONE GAME Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Danish, English, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew. Pick the one you speak and the one you want: 126 language pairs, more than 26,000 words, and every language has its own in-game keyboard. FROM A1 TO C2 Six galaxies, one per CEFR level. More than 1,500 words per language, sorted into themed planets: food, travel, feelings, work. Clear a galaxy and your certification rank goes up. EXPEDITION PLANETS add the words of real situations (restaurant, small talk, dating, airport and hotel, office and email, shopping, slang, gaming), reached with the drives you earn by playing. EARN YOUR SHIP WITH IN-GAME CREDITS Every run pays credits, and credits come from playing. Spend them on your ship's look (hulls, trails, turrets, beams, keyboards, a hat for Boomy), on SHIP SYSTEMS that grow with you (ICE, NOVA and VOID in three tiers, HULL PLATING that takes extra hits, the rare SALVO that fires three words with fire), and on the DRIVES that unlock expedition planets, which means more words to learn. The better you play, the further your ship can go. QUIZZES THAT CHECK YOU Between missions, a QUIZ: ten words against the clock, no hints until half time, three tips when you need them, and every right letter buys you time. The REVERSED QUIZ asks the other way round, the SENTENCE QUIZ asks for whole lines, and a REMIX flight before each one mixes two tricks so the words come back in a new shape. Pause when life happens, skip when you must. MORE TO PLAY • Grades from 0 to 100 on every run, your best score as a target, a JACKPOT that slows the words and doubles the stakes • A daily streak with a morning chance to keep it after a missed day • Five leaderboards: arcade high score, best WPM, planets conquered, total points, spoken kills PLAY ANYWHERE, LEARN EVERYWHERE A flight, a train, a waiting room, the ten minutes before a meeting: your language pack works offline with all its audio, a run takes two to four minutes, and it is free. Don't waste the wait. Play and learn. WHAT'S FREE • All of Arcade mode and the first Campaign planet, free forever • Works offline once your language pack is downloaded, audio included • No ads and no account The galaxy's languages are scrambled, Pilot.
