TYPE BURROW

Gopher vs. Ants — a marble popper for touch typists

  • Ants march down the path toward Gordo's burrow
  • Type a word's first letter to aim, finish it to send a berry
  • The column closes up — land three of a colour 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 colour to juggle, give the burrow less room before it gives out, and put more words in play at once — more to read, but more room to find a cascade in.

Word set

The ants nearest the burrow carry the words, each with a different starting letter so a keypress is never ambiguous. The rest show only their colour, which is what you plan cascades on.

Keyboard guide

Fades a keyboard across the play field and lights up the next key, colour-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.
