-= Description =-
You play as one of the few survivors of a zombie epidemic. With your trusty Desert Eagle, you stand to face them one-by-one. Hope you payed attention in your keyboarding class.

-= Instructions =-
As the letters scroll across your screen, type them on your keyboard. Each correct letter increases the accuracy of your aim on the zombie. After five correct letters, your character fires and gets a headshot. If you hit the wrong key, you fire early and may or may not hit. If the letters reach the end of the screen, your guy panics and shoots off a round, resetting the letters. You have seven shots in your Desert Eagle's magazine. When you run out of bullets, a blue word will appear in the center of the screen. Type the word to reload. If the zombies make it to you, you lose.

-= Background =-
Back in elementary school, we used to play "Mario Teaches Typing." I've been meaning to do something of a spoof of it ever since I got Flash, and it just seemed to go hand-in-hand with zombies. I finally started working on it after seeing "I Am Legend" (Meh, could have been better).

This game was originally designed for signatures, so that's why it has the border and small dimension ratio.

-= Note =-
I was planning on submitting this to NG Alphas, but since that's down, I decided to submit it to the portal.
Version 1.0 is technically a complete game, as in fully playable. However, I still have many plans for it, so watch out for a version 2.0 ;)

Good luck!

"needs abit improvments"

date: September 16, 2009

well one thing the letters move to fast for the begining of the game it is cool if that is at the middle or end of the game but not in the beggining and the grapics needs to be improved alot and there should be a difficulty settings for easy or normal well that is my 2 cents

"Could have been better"

date: March 28, 2008

Nice idea, but with some problems:
First, the letters were too slow and random, would be better if each zombie had a word to type.
Second,even if one barely managed to type the reloading word before the zombies caught him, the stick guy still had to pull out the ammo to recharge the gun.
6/10!

"To few letters..."

by: Kuzmin
date: March 28, 2008

Yeah.. first time i played i didn't realise the blue word would have to be typed to reload, so when i finally got it, the zombies were really close..

Since I'm a fast typer i would've been able to kill them now, if they had one word assigned to each zombie.. since they hadn't , i had to wait for those slow letters to come.. But, as they were to slow.. i got killed before there even appeared more than three of them..

"Not a bad concept..."

date: March 28, 2008

I like the idea of it, but you can't have a bunch of random letters show up and THEN show a word to type. The letters tend to scroll fast for being completely random. I'm normally a fast typer, but it seemed a little odd typing a bunch of random letters than jumping anywhere from a small word to a larger word. Perhaps setup different difficulty levels, each level has it's own length of words and number of zombies. Also incorporating actual typing lessons like using "home row" would be a great way to help people out. Overall I think you have a pretty original and nice concept it just has a few things that need to be worked out.
