I think the game is really good but the thing is that it doesn’t work with a Bluetooth keyboard and that kinda annoys me because i have one and i want to use it and it seems easier and i can do it faster but other than that its a good game so please make it so you can use a Bluetooth keyboard
My first actual challenge to type faster was this game, and finding its app was a joy. Phoboslab’s projects are always intriguing because they teach coding and algorithmic learning on an understandable, small-scale level. A while ago, I read an “in the making” article for the creation of ZType on iOS and would never have realized all the little details and features that went into consideration for this simple time-killer. I love what y’all are doing and I look forward to more breakthroughs like this one!!
The onscreen keyboard is very janky and often inputs keys that I know I did not press. It’s not sized right, it’s too slim and makes you press the key next to the one you’re trying to press all the time. This is nowhere near the PC version. Don’t waste your time with this, just go to the Phoboslab website and play it there. It shouldn’t have ever been on mobile. Maybe if the keyboard worked like a normal phone keyboard does it would be better but it doesn’t. It’s unresponsive and inaccurate compared to what you actually typed.
It’s a really good game does what it does and does it well the ads are also never obnoxious like other mobile games it just needs more content like maybe skins a leader board or smthing it’s kinda just the base game (which is a great game) but it needs more content 🤷♀️
I can’t play this game on my IPad unfortunately because there does not seem to be an option to play Horizontally. This is how I have to use the IPad with the magic keyboard. I enjoyed this game but I would really like an update to be able to play it on my IPad w/keyboard. Thank you for your work and I hope for an update soon!
Lots of people have keyboards on their iPad, and would play this game in landscape mode if it supported it. But it’s portrait only, with on-screen keyboard. People don’t need practice typing with thumbs, thank you very much. I will update with 5 stars if this gets fixed, but for now it’s not useful. Still, a fun novelty to show people. On a laptop or desktop computer, it’s still a fantastic game.
Love the ideal of a game to help with typing speed and accuracy, but can’t be used with iPad Pro and a remote blue tooth keyboard because it does not support landscape mode. Only portrait mode is available, which makes it tough to practice touch typing. Even using the integrated on-screen keyboard is useless because, ones fingers can not fit when in this vertical mode. I want to love it, but can’t until this is addressed.
This looks like a great way for my kid to learn to type, but you can’t touch type on an onscreen keyboard, and this game doesn’t support Bluetooth keyboards. So it teaches your kid to look at the keyboard while typing, which is a difficult habit to unlearn later.
I love this game, and I love playing it on my computer. The only problem is that it doesn’t work in landscape mode, which makes typing so much harder, because it’s difficult to type fluidly in portrait mode. If this gets fixed, I would be glad to give it five stars!
Great game, but can’t actually use to become a good typist.
Unfortunately, this game does not support landscape mode. Thus, I am unable to use a Bluetooth keyboard, to become a better typer. If landscape mode was supported, this game would at least be 4 stars.
Game is very fun! Improvements I’d like to see: -I’d like to see the iOS keyboard used in the app instead. -Allowing music to play in the background while the games going.
After you've gotten past a certain level (for example 10), it is tedious to have to go back through all 10 levels just to get where it is difficult for your level. I would suggest after passing a level, starting off at maybe half the level if not more so that the player can continue advancing faster and also more incentive outside of improving your score.
We have all been waiting for the IOS version of this game to come out, and finally, the day has come. I have to say I'm quite proud of this game, as well as PhobosLab for being such an awesome dev group. This game's structure is amazing, the music, the graphics, and most importantly, the gameplay. ZType offers the most innovative, quick-minded typing experience that'll have you addicted in seconds, living up to other typing games such as House of the Dead. This game is greatly appreciated for coming to the Apple App Store. Thanks!
Great game, but as you get to the higher levels it becomes difficult to determine which enemy you’ve started on and it gets to the point where you end up getting stuck typing on enemies that you didn’t even in intend to attack. But since you’re not able to disengage once you’ve started attacking, it just becomes a confusing mess until the enemy has moved away from the others. Also, the score gauge that I assume replaces your bombs takes FOREVER to build. I don’t think I’ve ever actually completed a full rotation, which kind of adds to the overall frustration of the game.
Loved the game on my computer. Love it on my phone. I noticed a bar filling up bow my shop, but I have no idea what it means. At first I though it was something that shows you how close you are to getting another EMP, but the bar seems to exponentially slow its fill rate the fuller it gets. I guess it's just for multipliers? If so, I do t get why it can't just fill at a flat rate.
I love the concept of this game, and I love typing games in general, but iPad support -- and, by extension, landscape support -- are sorely needed here. I'm on an iPad Pro, and I feel left out in the cold.
If you love typing, or you want to get better at it, then this is the app you're looking for. It's fun, it's smooth, it's sleek, and it's clean. It's really fun to play and shoot other things by typing. The keyboard does take a little getting used to because it's a bit smaller than the standard Apple keyboard. It's also a browser game.
ZType, a standout in the typing game world, makes it's way to the iOS store. The wait was worth it. A beautiful, modern and fun game. Executed perfectly. I have nothing negative to say. I play it on my computer and now I can take it on the go! PhobosLab, great work. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Great game! Absolutely love it. I would reccomend everyone to give it a try. However, if you could reply levels and continue from where you messed up, it would be more fun. Other than that, great game!!
I have played this game once and I'm already madly in love with it. Beautifully constructed and very clever. The music makes me honestly feel like I'm on a mission and it's very intriguing. A+ 100% would recommend to anybody
This is *not* a way to learn how to touch-type. The main failing is that it doesn't support the keyboard on your iPad Pro (built into the Smart Keyboard cover), and presumably won't work with external Bluetooth keyboards, though I didn't try. So, you can't rest your fingers on real keys on the home row, and get faster at your typing. It also assumes you already know how to type, though slowly. There's no instruction. Yes, this is pretty fun, as another review says, if you know how to type but just want to get speedier at hunt-and-peck on-screen typing. But if you want to boost your touch-typing speed, use a computer and access the ZType game on the web, which I think was zty.pe and which doesn't work on iPads. Another problem with the iOS version is that it's portrait-mode-only, so really just good for iPhones, for two-thumb practice.
There is a very good reason as to why the game can’t go into landscape mode
This is basically the mobile version of zty.pe but in a app form. That means if you go in safari and load it and put it in landscape mode it doesn’t work that well at all. So stop annoying the develops because of of that is it simply won’t ever work. Also good game on of and mobile 10/10
One of the Web's best Typing Games now finally available for iOS! Fend of the enemy's attack waves by proving your typing skills. Each letter you type shoots off a powerful plasma bullet into the enemy's ships. If you ever find yourself in a dire situation, you can use the EMP bombs to destory any nearby enemies.
