Fruit Typing Challenge — Development Update

Hello everyone!

It’s been a very long time since my last Fruit Typing Challenge update. My last development update was on September 23, 2025, which was my birthday.

I’m sorry for being so quiet about the game’s development for such a long time. I haven’t stopped working on Fruit Typing Challenge, though! A lot has happened behind the scenes since my last update, so I wanted to share some of the bigger changes with you.

Rewritten with NVGT

One of the biggest changes is that I completely rewrote Fruit Typing Challenge using NVGT.

The previous version is still available on itch.io, but rewriting the game in NVGT gives me the possibility of bringing the game to other platforms in the future.

New Hardcore Mode

I’ve added a new Hardcore Mode.

In Hardcore Mode, mistakes are not allowed. Make a mistake, and the game is over!

New Custom Mode

A brand-new Custom Mode has also been added.

You can choose your own number of rounds and time limits, as well as toggle power-ups on or off.

Custom Mode is designed mainly for practice, so it doesn’t affect your high scores or achievements.

Language Translation System

Fruit Typing Challenge now has a language translation system, allowing people to contribute translations for the game.

For now, the available translations are still AI-generated. If you’d like to contribute or improve a translation, feel free to contact me

I’ve also continued making improvements to the game’s accessibility and overall experience along the way.

Thank you for continuing to support and follow Fruit Typing Challenge, and again, I’m sorry for disappearing for so long without an update.

Development is still ongoing, and I hope to have more to share with you in the future!
