About Hacklash

Hacklash is a typing horror game where you type against the clock while a hostile AI has a turret aimed at your spine. Survive as long as you can, beat your best scores, and climb the global leaderboards across multiple modes and modifiers.

SUMMARY

You break into a surveillance corporation called ORCA (Omni Research & Control Authority) to access their data. You go to log in to a computer, but then you get a nasty surprise.

The computer is alive, and it wants to have some fun with you before shredding your lungs.

Race against the turret timer countdown, typing randomized codes from a list of 1300+ words and trying to get through as many as you can.

You earn big points for completing words fast, but less for taking time or mistyping.

As the game progresses, ORCA will impose RESTRICTIONS on you, such as words where you can't type vowels or numbers.

The timer will shorten. You will feel cold dread and your heart rate hasten more than your fingers as you tire and...

At the end of your life, you see your high score. Try to beat your best score, or those on the global leaderboards.

Hacklash offers:

  • Four Modes

  • Daily Challenges

  • 11 Achievements

  • Multiple difficulty settings and configuration options for adding more ease or challenge to the ORCA experience

  • Different Phosphor Colors

Good luck hacker.

ORCA has calculated your arrival. ORCA is ready for you to play.
