I've keep away from external themes and metaphors, in keeping with the minimalism concept. There's a bit of truth to materials to boot; Keyboard, a game about using the keyboard.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Keyboard gets harder the longer you play. It starts off only using the WASD keys, which most of you should be familiar with. Look, they're right on your keyboard. As you get more experienced typing, er playing Keyboard, you will need to learn and use more keys. If you press the wrong keys or miss a key you were supposed to hit too many times, the game will end.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Levels are designed as a series of key sequences. Sequences are ranked by difficulty and are chosen semi-randomly based on the current difficulty.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You get fun explosions when you press the buttons at the right time.
