type for your life

"Type to survive." That's a good summary on the theme of the game. Although the title is in English, you can play Type for your life in Spanish. Our mission is to correctly type the words that appear to get our protagonist to jump on the facade of a building from cornice to cornice, avoiding falling into the void.

Naturally, the game gets more and more complicated on each new screen, where the scenario changes: from the roof of the building we climb to the clouds of the sky, and from there to outer space. The times to complete the word are reduced more and more and the danger increases. Very funny.
