GOPHER VS ANTS

A marble popper for touch typists

  • Ants march down the path toward Gordo's burrow
  • Each ant in reach wears a letter — press it and that ant's word appears
  • The column closes up — land three of a color together and they scatter too
  • Cascades are worth far more than speed. Read the column before you type

Press any letter to start

SETTINGS

Difficulty

Higher settings march the column along faster, send more ants per wave, add a color to juggle, give the burrow less room before it gives out, and put more ants in reach at once — eight at Beginner, twelve at Master, which is more to read but far more room to find a cascade in.

Word set

Ants in reach wear a single letter, each one different so a keypress is never ambiguous; press it and that ant spells out its word. The rest show only their color, which is what you plan cascades on.

Keyboard guide

Fades a keyboard across the play field and lights up the next key, color-coded by the finger that should press it. When stuck keeps it hidden until you miss three keys in a row, then shows it until you get one right.
