Type Fighter by LandoSystems
Welcome to Type Fighter.
You received a letter in the mail, and somehow its words hurt you. To travel to your local library to seek guidance in this matter.
In this game you fight enemies who throw hurtful words at you. The goal is to reveal their secret fear phrase by successfully typing the attack words they shout before they strike you. If you get hit, the progress that you have made will be reduced.
Opponents also use wordy magic to make things more tricky. If an opponent casts a spell, the spell they cast will appear over them. You can counter an enemy spell by casting the counter-spell: simply hold SHIFT and type the spell name backwards.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Play:
Keyboard required; sorry mobile users...
Type to stop the attack words before they hit you
Hold [SHIFT] and type the spell word backwards to cast the counter-spell
Once the secret fear phrase has been revealed, it will lower itself on the screen. Type the phrase before the timer expires to successfully defeat the opponent.
**Sorry we can't embed the game here on the Ludum Dare site, the embedded frame doesn't catch key events... :(

The spell word is in blue letters above the enemy and in order to counter it hold shift and type the spell backwards.
I really like the counter mechanic, keeps the game fresh. Love the sandstorm, and darkness. Quite/SHHH, I usually just leave it, and try to read it small =) Same with crosseye, I read it crosseyed! =D
My strategy for sandstorm was to do the sandstorm counter, but once I get quite I would leave it. Darkness I could still kinda read it, may be because the words do repeat, so I can guess what the words are.
When it was crosseye, I thought I had to read the final word crosseye too, but that didn't happen.
Kinda easy to cheat later ennemies by just keeping the quiet or seasickness spell on. You could make them add more and more spell on top of each other if you dont remove an old spell!
Well done!
At the end I ended up not countering the spells 'cause they weren't too hard, so maybe the difficulty progression could be adjusted. The theme of the spells match very well the enemies, I was looking forward every time to see the next one!
Oh, and I found out that I really suck to type words backwards (maybe 'cause English isn't my first language) :P
But after some correct words fonts become very small could able to read them( @ Win7 64bit; Firefox; )
