WORDFALL — a typing roguelite

Words rain from the night sky. Type them to blast back the swarm and defend your dying star.

WORDFALL is a fast, minimalist typing roguelite — part bullet-heaven, part score-attack. Lock onto a falling word, type it clean, and watch the letters detonate. Every run you draft branching upgrades, charge your NOVA, and push deeper into the night. How long can you survive?

Your keyboard is the only weapon. The faster and cleaner you type, the harder you hit.

Who it's for

If you like Vampire Survivors, Typing of the Dead, or score-chasing arcade roguelites — and you want a game that rewards how well you *type* — WORDFALL is built for you. Quick to learn, runs in your browser, deep enough to chase a high score for weeks.

*Made by Past Progress Studios (Memory 404 Games). Anonymous gameplay stats help us balance the game — you can turn them off any time in Settings (see Privacy).*

WORDFALL — Privacy

Short version: WORDFALL collects anonymous gameplay stats to balance the game — nothing personal, and you can switch it off any time. That's the whole story; the details below just spell it out.

What the game sends

When a run ends, WORDFALL sends a small anonymous summary so we can see how the game is actually played and fix what's too easy or too hard:

- How it went — your score, how far you got, how long the run lasted, kills.

- How you typed — accuracy and speed (just the numbers, never *what* you typed).

- What you built — the word pack, mutators, which upgrades you were offered and picked, and your Observatory nodes.

- In-game economy — your "mote" totals for the run (game currency, not money).

- A pinch of context — what ended the run, and an anonymous "how experienced is this player" number, so a first run and a 500th don't get mixed together.

What it never touches

No name. No email. No account. No location. No device fingerprint. No ads or cross-site tracking. We don't see the words you type — only your speed and accuracy as plain numbers.

The only ID attached is a random code generated on your device. It isn't linked to you and can't be traced back to a person.

Where it goes & why

Straight to our own database (Supabase), used only to balance the game. It's never sold and never shared. The game can send this data but can't read it back, so it can't be exposed through the app.

Your leaderboard name is separate — it's the name you type in yourself on the death screen, and only then.

You're in control

Anonymous stats are on by default. Turning them off takes one click:

> Settings โ†’ System โ†’ Anonymous Stats โ†’ OFF

Off means off — nothing leaves your device. We also show a quick heads-up about this the first time you play.

Your save data

Your progress (unlocks, settings, sync code) lives in your browser, on your device. The optional sync code and backup file exist so you don't lose it — both are explained in-game under Settings.

Questions or "please delete my data"

Email past.progress.studios@gmail.com. For deletion, include your anonymous ID — find it in your browser console as `localStorage["wordfall.device_id"]`.

Thanks for playing, and for helping make WORDFALL better. โœฆ
