How to play

  • Type the pinyin of falling Chinese words. Your ship aims and fires as you type.
  • Use letters without tones or spaces: 你好 is nihao. Type v, u, or ü for ü.
  • Short words fall faster; longer words give you more time. Hints reveal a few letters halfway down and the full pinyin near the bottom.
  • Higher HSK words earn more XP. Fill the level bar, then type a sentence boss from the course to finish the round.
  • Each level restores three shields. Earlier rounds favor easier lessons; later rounds mix in harder vocabulary up to your selected HSK level.
  • Backspace undoes a letter, Esc clears your target, and Enter pauses. An on-screen keyboard is available on phones.
