Transparent hands
A transparent hand overlay helps children visualize which finger should reach each letter or number without covering the game.
Animated typing feedback
Correct input triggers attacks and progress colors. Mistakes and missed targets are clear, quick, and easy to understand.
Campaign adventure
Travel from a peaceful glade to mountain passes, ice caverns, volcanoes, and the Dark Shogun's castle.
Built-in WPM library
Practice with educational science, mathematics, civics, and public-domain poetry passages in WPM Mode.
Customizable practice
Sandbox Mode lets players tune speed, spawn rate, lives, wrong-key behavior, target length, and target sources.
Designed to teach, not just test.
Type Shogun is ideal for children beginning keyboard practice and adults who want a more engaging way to build accuracy and speed.
Proper finger placement
The tutorial introduces home-row position, anchor keys, thumbs for Spacebar, and finger-specific key practice. The visual guide supports learning without requiring the player to memorize every key at once.
Accuracy before speed
Targets, colors, and WPM results encourage players to type carefully. More advanced modes add pressure gradually, while Sandbox lets parents, teachers, and learners create a comfortable practice level.
