Outshine is an arcade action game where your keyboard is your weapon. Instead of aiming with a mouse or stick, you type words to move, dodge and attack as a glowing hero striking back at the forces that held them down. Stages are full of traps and enemies, and boss fights test how fast and accurately you can type under pressure.
Made by Belgian studio Fishing Cactus, it is a single-player game with online leaderboards for players who want to chase better scores. Runs are short and fast, so it suits confident typists, players who like score-attack games, and anyone looking for a playful way to sharpen their typing speed.
