How to Play Typer Shark
Typer Shark is one of those games that is educational but is still fun. The object of the game is very simple. Sharks with words on them swim towards your little swimmer and to stop them you need to type the shark's word. It sounds so easy when its being described but the game is both fun and quite challenging. There are occasionally other challenges such as different types of fish or speed rounds.

Examine the interface. Your character is the little diver on the left side of the screen; sharks (and occasionally other fish) will attack from the left. At the top you can see your level, your point total and the number of additional lives you possess (depicted by the little diving helmets). At the bottom of the screen there is a new game button, a pause and a mute button in the gray areas. In the yellow area you can see your Charge Meter. When it is full, press "Enter" to destroy all the fish on the screen. The tiny number on the left side of the screen is your depth. The object is to live long enough to make it to the bottom of the water to find sunken treasure.
