TYPE FAST. CHOOSE YOUR TARGETS. DEFEND THE CORE.
MANDALA: TYPE TO DEFEND is a fast-paced typing survival arcade game where every word is a target and every second counts.
Enemies close in on a fragile core. Type their words to destroy them, intercept incoming projectiles, and keep the mandala alive.
But speed alone won't save you. Choosing what to type next matters just as much.
FOUR WAYS TO FIGHT
Choose your attack form and turn each completed word into something more powerful.
LANCE: Pierce enemies lined up behind your target.
ARC: Send attacks chaining between nearby threats.
NOVA: Unleash explosive strikes against clustered enemies.
ORBIT: Store power and release it across multiple targets.
Different weapons reward different decisions. Find the one that suits your typing style.
BUILD YOUR OWN RITUAL
Your attacks evolve as you survive.
Chain strikes between enemies. Trigger explosive bursts. Push back approaching threats. Rebuild your shield when everything starts to fall apart.
Combine four upgrade families across multiple levels to shape your build during each run.
EVERY WORD IS A DECISION
Fast-moving enemies close the distance. Ranged attackers fire projectiles you can intercept by typing. Dangerous threats force you to switch priorities before it's too late.
Do you finish the enemy you're attacking, stop the incoming shot, or eliminate the threat closest to your core?
Keep typing. Keep choosing. Stay alive.
FACE THE ECLIPSE
Survive three escalating ritual phases: Awakening, Fracture, and Convergence, before facing the Eclipse.
A final test of typing speed, battlefield awareness, and everything you've built along the way.

Approximately 15-minute complete runs built for focused arcade sessions.
Four attack forms with different combat behaviors.
Four upgrade families to combine and develop.
Distinct enemy behaviors and incoming projectiles to intercept.
