Field notes
The game distinguishes overall WPM, which includes waiting for enemies, from engaged WPM, which counts only active typing time. Its word packs include everyday vocabulary, deep-space terms, technology, the natural world, short sentences, numbers, and punctuation. Players can also enable reduced motion, which removes screen shake and particle effects while preserving target and hit feedback.
