I wanted to feel like a hacker in a movie, so I built this. Turn your sound up.
NeonType is a survival typing game with cyberpunk aesthetics, mechanical keyboard ASMR sounds, and way too many particle effects. Words chase you. Your health drains. Type or die.
This isn't TypeRacer. This isn't a typing test. This is vibe typing.
- 🎮 Survival Mode — Health drains constantly. Type words to stay alive.
- ⚡ Combo System — Chain words without errors to fill the MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE meter.
- 🔊 Synthesized ASMR — Satisfying "thock" sounds on every keypress. Generated with Web Audio API.
- 💥 Particle Explosions — Words explode into neon particles when completed.
- 🎆 Confetti Bursts — Because why not.
- 📊 Stats & Ranksanks — WPM, accuracy, max combo, fake percentiles, and cyberpunk rank titles.
- 🌈 Super Saiyan Mode — Fill the combo meter and watch everything go MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE.
- 💀 Screen Shake — Miss a letter and feel it.
- 🖥️ CRT Effects — Scanlines, vignette, matrix rain. Full terminal aesthetic.
- 🏆 Personal Best — Saved to localStorage. No accounts. No friction.
- React 19 + TypeScript
- Vite (blazing fast builds)
- Framer Motion (animations, layout transitions, spring physics)
- canvas-confetti (celebration particles)
- Web Audio API (synthesized keyboard sounds — no audio files needed)
npm install
npm run devvnpm run build
# Deploy the dist/ folder to Vercel, Netlify, etc.- Just type. That's it.
- Space advances to the next word.
- Enter restarts after game over.
Zero friction. User lands → types → dies → tries again. No sign-up, no loading screens, no tutorials (well, one very cool tutorial). Just pure typing survival with maximum visual juice.
Built in a 20-hour sprint for Hack Club. If it isn't shipped in a week, delete it.
