Gameplay

Gameplay has two modes this time, the base one is modyfying classic on-rail shooter gameplay with typing words on keyboard, smooth execution of each word results not only in killing enemies but also increasing our combo which increases our score in the way, from time to time you can acquire collectibles, medkits or slow motion time limited power-up by pressing Tab.

Now it is time to mention the music, which is actually awesome, every peace of soundtrack perfectly fits the situation, adds a tense and sound good even without a game.

There are also DLC dictionaries and custome ones from Steam Workshop, which make the game incredibly replayable just for own satisfaction or just to play in online co-op with friend.
