A downloadable game

DEMO? 

WELCOME to the TYPECAST DEMO! To be honest this actually isn't a demo... it's the whole ass game but without Steam leaderboards. I didn't know what else to call it aside from a demo, and considering it's a score-attack arcade game the "real" game is trying to climb the leaderboards. I guess. I don't know or care. Here is the game for free and if you want to compete then you can buy a copy on Steam.

"Typecast offers a truly modernized arcade gameplay experience. It can be played forever, and can genuinely last as long as there is air in your lungs and hatred in your heart." - A Dedicated Fan

"Super simple arcade game that has been polished into the impossible." - Some Guy Who Left A Steam Review

"Please remove me from your mailing list." - A Press Outlet Who Will Remain Unnamed

Appeasing pixel artstyle, snappy creative gameplay and polished game mechanics folded into an arcade VS game, the difficulty options add some appreciated customization.
The parry is somewhat underpowered, as it (seemingly) can only kill a whopping 1 enemy, and considering the fact that swinging fast enough allows you to completely phase through any crowd.

Stoked to see that you're still around making games! Super cool one.
