Outshine

The Good: +++ The engaging fast-paced action typing gameplay is a lot of fun. I don't know of any game that does it better, or even at all. (If you happen to know of any, please do tell.). The game forces you to navigate to avoid terrain hazards and obstacles while fighting (typing) off an onslaught of various enemy types with interesting mechanics. + Cool techno dystopian aesthetic. + Very adjustable difficulty level from hunt-and-peck typist to pro touch typist. Most of the fun comes from beating your level high score by turning on difficulty multipliers to beat your personal or the community highscore. The Bad: -- The level minibosses (stage bosses) are often recycled, making for some repetitive gameplay. - The story is predictable and uninspired. So definitely don't play it for the story. - The word database seems to be lacking: you'll feel like you type the same hundred words again and again during a run. (Only the boss fights seem to offer unrecycled words.) - The game doesn't seem to be optimized that well. It'll strain your hardware more than it should for what it offers. Overall: Pick this up if you can get it for very cheap and you like fast-paced typing action or simply want to practice typing in a fun way.

I love typing games since they help me keep my skills sharp. This one feels almost too much in some ways. ex. I regularly type 90–100 wpm. I can't play this game on the highest difficulty because the sheer amount of visual clutter just ruins the experience. I wouldn't use this game to teach typing to someone because of how much non-typing you'll be doing to survive, but as someone looking for a challenge who is already a skilled typist? I think it's good enough to merit a thumbs up.

Really fun game, but honestly it's so frustrating. Eventually enemies start sending out attacks that require pressing letters to destroy which really isnt that bad until you're stuck partway into another enemy's word. You press everything you need to press but nothing happens. Honestly I would summarize this entire game with You press everything you need to press but nothing happens.

If you enjoy typing games and want one that will keep challenging you, Outshine is exactly what you're looking for. I found this game from a great review on the website SideQuest and I like what the author, Michelle Caldiera, had to say about the game. If you're on the fence, I'd suggest looking up her review. She talks about how the speed forces the player to play instinctively, it gives you no time to think or doubt yourself.

great & intense game! excellent exercise if u want to improve ur typing speed. greetings from a pantaloon subscriber, got my key from them! :)

I've played the other Fishing Cactus typing games without much issue and being an 80 WPM typer I was feeling pretty good about this one too. Firstly I realized there are multiple difficulties, and 80 WPM is recommended only for the second highest difficulty. Highest is 100 WPM. Holy crap. I chose the 80 WPM one and at first was doing pretty good. By the time I got to the end of the second zone though, I was struggling regularly. The last mission before the second boss is insanely hard and it took me hours to beat it. I did improve though. Overall, when they say 'fast paced typing game' they mean it, especially on the harder difficulties. Dodging things, shooting things down, and remembering to use your shields and missiles when you need it is so hectic. It's really rewarding when you struggle and finally overcome though. My only complaint is the recognition system for what you are typing. I'll be spamming the "S" key or whatever to attack a missile coming at me, but because theres a word on the screen that starts with S, or because I didn't actually finish typing the word I was working on before I noticed the missile, it doesn't do anything. You can't start typing a new word, even just a one letter missile, without finishing the one you're on. When you're typing fast and you accidentally typo and it messes up your whole rhythm because it sticks to the word you were on instead of moving on with you it's really frustrating.

A typing game that also builds your micromanagement skills. This review also encompasses acquiring all the achievements. To preface, I average around 100 wpm under "normal" circumstances. Pros: - good typing practice. In some scenarios, you build your vocabulary lmao - lots of gimmicks that provides an extra challenge. These modifications can be toggled on or off and include: faster/more words, backword words, no hit runs, no mistakes, etc. And let me tell you, they are challenging alright. - there is a plot if you care. - soundtrack is not bad. Cons: - personally, I find the scoring to be a bit odd. To get more scores, you have to balance out typing the words in general with the COLOUR of the words to stack those colours and get a bigger point bonus. Ehhhhhhhhhh - achievements can be buggy. It's criminal to have achievements dedicated to racking up x amount of y and not either implement the steam achievement counter, or having an in-game counter for said stats. As such, I have tracked my words and found the "Kill xxxx enemies" to be buggy after achieving a particular other achievement. It appears that resetting your progress can work but man is that tedious. In these instances, it becomes such a grind and frankly, not fun. You can opt to use a script. Overall, a good game to get some typing practice. But tbh, for your money, I don't see why you can't just go on typing practice websites and type away. As for achievement hunting, don't go for this game and save yourself the headache. Otherwise, good quality typing game and it's your time and money.

It's the only Typing Game I've currently got in my library. It's outstanding well. The WPM I create more then doubled since I started, that didn't even take an hour. For barely 4€ it was a great deal. And I can recommend outshine for a game of that genre, so that you have one. Among hundreds of games. 1 Typing game. That's something like Outshine. After barely an hour and ones through the easiest difficulty I want to recommend it to myself for even more game time. Get that as an addition to my outstanding library was a wise choice. You might need to pay a fullprice of 12.99, but you could argue that. With 3,89 it was realy fine to me. By having nearly 400 Titles, I have nothing alike. That's exactly something I've been missing, and is of a different kind of game then the others I have. It's a huge bettering to my library for 4€ and that's why I recommend you might do the same and get it at a discount. It's something to wishlist for. I'll see, when I look and need to look for better. It adds a genre to some librarys potential, and among the games to have, this is one as well. Edit: After having been through it. I realy recommend it as a game. It's a great piece in my library and might be in yours as well. It might be close to exactly what you look for in a game of this kind. It's realy well made. It offers higher and lower challenge. I just got aware of it in this sale and recommend getting it for 3.89. 12.99 will still get you a great game. The opportunity to play it is well worth both. Right now as I write this they didn't ask for 12.99, which was to my favor. Wishlist to get informed about Discounts on it, if you better want to wait the difference in price. Grabbing it on sale was a wise choice to me, and in my oppinion is to other players as well.
