Typing Game Idea

I got a nice mechanical gaming keyboard recently after having gone my entire life using generic membrane-switch keyboards of varying levels of quality. With this in front of me, I looked around for some typing games to test it out with and came across a game called Epistory, which is fairly enjoyable. I then began considering working on a typing game of my own that focused more on the actual typing instead of wandering through a story-derived world with some heavy typing bits here and there.

Here is just a test image I cooked up that would serve as the basis of such a game if I ever decided to pick the shovel up and start digging.

Mental Blips #22 - Billow

Spiderwebs wobble
in the empty living room
as dust drifts downward.

Mental Blips #21 - Tiled

Dominoes topple,
with more dominoes toppling
other dominoes.

Mental Blips #20 - Blunt

The air was too moist
to light the birthday candles,
therefore I shot them.

Poems and Prose #168 - Drizzle

I descend through
a translucent cloud,
thinking to myself,
aloud,
that it doesn't seem
that far
down.

Poems and Prose #167 - Sentinel

I saw a solo sojourner
traipsing without care,
seemingly surmising
that no one saw him there.

But I saw him quite well,
despite the sun's sharp glare,
his every minute motion
less a whisper than a blare.

My noontime entertainment here
a ninety-minute stare,
I started up some music
on my cheap MP3 player.

Amusing though his antics played,
I knew how badly he'd soon fare,
when I depressed the button
on the right arm of my chair.

Grimacing then grinning,
I pulled my sleeved arm bare,
glad I'd had this lengthy break
from being forced to be aware.
