About the game

Sink your teeth into an action-packed educational adventure. Hungry sharks and piranhas are on the hunt for food as you SCUBA dive into the deep blue unknown. But if you can type words fast enough, they'll be zapped before they can turn you into lunch.
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Windows only.

What players say

I mean it's typershark, the best typer game in existence. Extensive dictionary, extensive typing tutorials and lessons, and a great amount of play depth.

I enjoy playing Typer Shark Deluxe and definitely recommend it for many reasons. One of the many reasons I use it is because it's fun to play. I'm also adding this as part of our daughter's homeschooling curriculum so she can learn to type correctly. I absolutely LOVE this feature of the program, not to mention how "fun" it is to learn! Our daughter has the desire to want to learn, but also needs something that is...
