Howdy gang!
We've just updated the game with a number of improvements for keyboard users! (And a number of bug fixes for [i]all[/i] users.) If you've had the itch to use the breadth of your alphabetical keys, games can now be played in either '[b]Word[/b]' or '[b]Gibberish[/b]' mode with a keyboard (in addition to the previous '[b]Directions[/b]' mode).
'[b]Word[/b]' mode gives the player a ten letter word to type out as quickly as they can. Selected from over 20,000 random words, you can increase your vocabulary, learn to type ten letter words faster, [i]and[/i] shoot an opponent, all in the one game! '[b]Gibberish[/b]' mode gives the player ten random letters. Though, just like infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters, we can't guarantee these won't result in real-life words. The cosmos might formulate a legible locution from this chaos, and for that, we take no responsibility. Though we are sorry you saw words in your gibberish!

In '[b]Memory[/b]' mode, you can now remember an ever increasing string of random letters from all across the keyboard (that you can attempt to pronounce to help you remember [i]harder[/i]!)
And of course, if you loved the old WASD and arrows input method (now called '[b]Directions[/b]'), we've updated the button prompts! It, along with '[b]Word[/b]' and '[b]Gibberish[/b]' can be selected in the game's settings!

Go to Settings -> Game Settings -> Keyboard Mode to choose how you'd like to play!
Finally, text input in the game now also supports typing on your keyboard! So there's no more staring longingly at your hardware keys while you navigate around a software keyboard with your arrows. Which was [i]mental[/i]!
