IGP First Look – ‘Spacebar’

This IGP First Look teaches typing as you explore distant planets in Spacebar.

Spacebar has you wandering a variety of worlds, but only if your ability to type excerpts from classic books and poems is up to the task. The platforms that keep you from a nasty tumble down to the planet’s surface are all made of words, and if you don’t type them out in time, they won’t hold you up any more.

With a handful of power-up items and troubling pickups you can grab, Spacebar keeps up the challenge while also beefing up your WPM. And if you do well, there’s cute outfits to be had, vastly improving your feeling of being fashionable as you meander across the galaxy.

Spacebar is available for free on Itch.io.
