Game 1: Falling Stones
Protect the house by typing the letter shown on each falling stone before it hits the ground.
- Press the matching letter to break a stone and earn points.
- Stones that reach the ground count as missed.
- Every 10 misses reduce the house's health by 10%.
- The game ends when the house reaches 0% health. Try to beat your high score.
Game 2: Goose Islands
Help the goose cross the moving islands by typing the word on the island where it is standing.
- Type the letters in order. Each correctly typed letter turns grey.
- When the word is complete, the goose walks across its island and jumps to the next one.
- The islands scroll from right to left. A completed word scores points.
- Island speed is slow for words 1–150, fast for 151–250, very fast for 251–350, and extremely fast for 351–500. The goose walks and jumps faster as the islands speed up.
- Type 500 words to win. You only lose if the island carrying the goose takes it off the left edge of the screen.
