What is HAND-CODED BATTLE?

This single-player typing game has lines of code fall down the screen as you enter them accurately before a countdown expires, earning coins for correct inputs and recording completion times. The story casts you as an indie developer racing an AI copycat to hand-write copyright-eligible code; completing the game unlocks special levels with AI assistance.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy typing games with falling-block pressure
  • +you like chasing faster completion times
  • +you want a minimalist, code-themed single-player game

Not for you if...

  • you dislike accuracy-focused typing under a countdown
  • you want multiplayer competition
  • you prefer games without programming or AI themes
