Why build a competitive spacebar game in 2026?

A few weeks ago I had a simple question:

Does typing speed actually translate into raw spacebar speed?

I couldn't find a place dedicated to that challenge, so I started building one as a side project.

That simple idea slowly turned into SpaceRush:

SpaceRush - Compete to become the world's fastest spacebar player

SpaceRush is a competitive speed challenge where players press the spacebar as fast as possible before the timer runs out. Choose from multiple game modes, track your personal bests, unlock achievements, and compete on global leaderboards. Play on desktop using your keyboard or on mobile by tapping the screen. The leaderboard is still young, meaning early players have the chance to become the first champions and record holders in SpaceRush history. Simple to learn, difficult to master.
