Typer Shark Deluxe is an educational game that successfully manages to promote techniques for basic and advanced typing on PC keyboards. Built around simple and eye-catching game design that tries to emulate the gameplay of classic bullet hell action side-scrollers and tower defense games, Typer Shark Deluxe puts the player into the boots of the underwater explorer that is besieged by the endless waves of sharks. However, instead of shooting or evading them, the player is tasked to type the words that are attached to each of the incoming sharks.
Because of its fun gameplay loop, and ever-increasing challenge levels, Typer Shark Deluxe can be one of the best tools that can help you to learn to type on your keyboard quickly, to learn to use it optimally. Because of its wide appeal, this educational game app is suitable not only to children and PC novices who just want to get better with this input peripheral, but also to everyone whose jobs or interest require them to master the ability of fast typing (students, writers, editors, and others).
After several sessions of Typer Shark Deluxe, you will start to improve your keyboard typing in several distinct areas. The game will, of course, enable you to type faster and more accurately by presenting you with the ever-increasing waves of more difficult words that you have to type correctly but will also focus on other aspects of typing. Different game levels will increase your typing ability and will enable you to master key positioning and of course, start typing automatically, without the need to even look on your keyboard once.
Like many other games of this style, each of your gameplay runs will award you a total score that you can record. These statistics can be used to track your progress or to compare your abilities with your friends or other online users. If you have trouble with any aspect of the game, you can activate a built-in tutor.
Released to the public by the famous PopCap Games in 2003, the Deluxe version of this application can today be played under Shareware license.
