[b]Typoman[/b] was surprisingly awesome! It didn't overstay its welcome, the puzzles were clever but not too clever and the platforming was in the most part relatively easy ... although ... if you completed that fire chase scene without dying you're a frickin' legend [i](I am not a legend, not even close)[/i] One unexpected joy ... spelling random words that then changed your character's outfit. I wasn't expecting it, but once you accidentally hit upon a few words, you can't help yourself thereafter :D [spoiler](cape, look, sir, king, space, brainseed ...)[/spoiler] RECOMMENDED: 7/10

Recommended, and happily so: crafting words in the world itself turns vocabulary into platforms, tools and weapons. Every attack is spelled rather than pressed. DOWN opens a gate, RAIN becomes DRAIN, and hostile names can be rewritten mid-encounter, with wordplay flips like trap into strap and hate into love giving the puzzles wit to match the shadow-drenched city. The complete absence of a combat button keeps the idea pure, and a finale that defeats its monster through spelling alone closes the whole thing creatively. Friction shows in letter handling that turns fiddly under time pressure and in a late chapter whose solutions grow opaque, including one puzzle that permanently forfeits a collectible if solved the wrong way. Teleporter sections that lock in failures and occasional physics jank add rough edges. None of it undermines the invention, and the whole thing fits comfortably into a single evening.

When I first saw this game I thought great something different, however the game glitches and some parts seem impossibly short timing to get through. Found it more frustrating than fun and got bored as quick as just playing the prologue.

Unique Word Game / Platformer... very light on the Platforming. Really cool mechanic for generating words. Be careful reading/watching reviews, its way more enjoyable to figure out how to generate words by accident than someone to tell you. I say this because I saw a review right before writing this who gave away the secret. Absolute bargain for the couple of dollars I spent.

Honestly I have no idea how this game doesn't have an overwhelmingly positive reviews.

For a game that I only bought for around 3$, (It was discounted) I honestly wish I would've bought it in full. I was impressed by the environment of the game and the music that truly sets up the atmosphere. I like how some words add accessories or reactions to the hero, so I thought that was pretty fun. Cool game C:
