Typing Karaoke takes away any fear you may have about making a fool of yourself singing in front of a large amount of people in a bar. This 8-bit pixel game by Travis Chen tests your speed by making you type out the lyrics to your favorite jam.
It is a browser-based flash challenge that will either be a fun time-wasting activity or a learning tool to help you improve your typing, therefore making you more productive at work and/or school. A character sings the lyrics to Usher’s OMG or Kanye West’s Love Lock Down as you struggle to keep up with the beat of the tune.
The Typing Karaoke graphics might make the game seem simple, but don’t be fooled, it is a real finger exercise.
