Press release:
Mons, Belgium, October 12, 2022.
The Montpellier -based (France) indie games publisher Plug In Digital and Mons-based (Belgium) indie games developer Fishing Cactus, today announced with great excitement and delight that their fast-paced arcade typing game “Outshine“, is coming to PC via Steam on November 3rd, 2022.

Glide across the keyboard and use words to trounce enemies, topple bosses, and enact your vengeance. Master the keys and use Hue’s powers wisely to accumulate points, multipliers, and a coveted place on the leaderboard.

In Outshine, players dash across virtual highways as a glowing humanoid named Hue on a quest to dismantle the Shards and their cruel experiments. Dodge traps and incoming attacks while monitoring your environment for new words to type. Input keys swiftly and precisely to unlock special moves, like the ability to unleash lightning bolts onto foes.

Customize the experience with modifiers like auto-pilot, infinite abilities and mirror words and replay runs with new rules. Type to the top with a variety of key layouts: Qwerty, Azerty, Qwertz, Dvorak, Colemak, BÉPO, and more are supported. From menus to combat, Outshine can be enjoyed with just a keyboard – no mice necessary!

Key features:

• Enjoy breakneck arcade-stylized typing gameplay with just your keyboard

• Plug into a journey of retribution set in a digitized universe
• Improve your input speed to decimate enemies, collect points, and climb the leaderboard

• Bolt across 18 visually dynamic levels spread across three virtual worlds

• Master new keyboard layouts or customize the experience with modifiers

• Explore accessibility features like Open Dyslexic Font and Colorblind Mode
