Drive with your keyboard.

Keyburn is a typing racer where every word you type controls your car. Need to go faster? Type the Speed word. Need to dodge a wall or swap lanes? Type Left or Right.

It’s not just about typing speed—it’s about quick decisions:

  • Strategic Choices: Pick your path on the fly. Do you speed up, lane-shift to dodge traffic, or snag a power-up?
  • Power-ups & Items: Drive over item boxes to grab Boosts, Shields, Rockets, or Oil Slicks—then type their names to unleash them.
  • High-Speed Duels: Try moving into an occupied lane and a duel word pops up. First to type it claims the lane and shunts the other car aside.
  • Bumper-to-Bumper Damage: Tailgating isn’t just rude—it damages both cars. Fill the damage bar and you’re out.
  • Procedural Tracks: 2 to 8 cars (against bots) on a freshly generated track every single race.

Controls:

  • Type the cards on screen to act
  • Down Arrow to brake
  • Esc to pause

A quick note from the dev: Keyburn is currently in Early Access. As a solo dev, player feedback is everything to me! If you try it out, let me know what felt great, what felt frustrating, and what your best finish was.

(Plays best in a desktop with a physical keyboard.
