Key Rain Shelter: A Hold-and-Catch Typing Break Game
Letter drops drift toward a shelter band—hold the matching key to catch them. A one-minute typing game and typing break with no WPM or leaderboard on Type Faster.
How the shelter band works
Drops fall slowly toward a highlighted band at the bottom of the canvas. While a drop intersects the band, hold the matching letter key to catch it. Release too early and it slips through—no scoreboard writes the miss to your profile.
The pace is deliberately calmer than arcade reflex typing games. You are training steady holds, not spam tapping.
After a typing game, run the same one-minute test passage type so you can tell whether calm hands helped accuracy.
Zen Garden and Breathing Keys are for nervous system reset, not measurable warmup—leave when you feel calm.

When to pick this typing break
Try Key Rain Shelter after sessions where you jerked fingers off keys too fast. It pairs well before a drill on weak letters because your hands relearn contact time.
Finish with the shell CTA back to a one-minute test to see if catches translated into smoother prose typing.
Use Whack-a-Key or Reach Corners when errors are wrong-key; use Backspace Breeze when errors are uncorrected typos.
