Type:Rider

A puzzle platformer in the vein of NightSky but with more platforming elements thrown in. It's educational yet somehow stays easy and relaxing the whole way through I went in expecting some lame indie artsy s**t and came out hooked I never thought I'd give a single F about the history of fonts of all things, but this game somehow made me interested in learning about typography, their origins, and how they impacted history and culture throughout the ages, It's weirdly immersive for such a simple concept, you ride letters while it drops knowledge on you and it just works, worth your time just to learn some cool niche s**t for once instead of rotting your brain with generic slop The soundtrack is fantastic too, the music shifts and adapts as you progress through different historical periods, and it pulls you into the atmosphere of each era, It's one of those games where the audio design does as much heavy lifting as the visuals I'm not gonna pretend this is some hardcore gaming experience, it's not, But it's a cozy, chill journey that teaches you something interesting while you play, If you've got a couple hours to kill and want something that's equal parts relaxing and educationa…

Weeeeee! I'm a font!

I love the concept, but the controls are pretty unresponsive and the movement is very slow. Other problems or slightly annoying things I encountered: - in one level a pipe is supposed to suck you in, to transport you somewhere else - didn't work, dying didn't fix it, had to restart the whole level and lost my progress because of it. - leaving a level briefly to look at new information made the music turn off for some reason - clicking 'leave' led to the game asking 'leave level?' so I assumed it would make me leave the level... I was wrong, and it closed the entire game instead. - if you miss a collectible, you'll have to replay the level to the finish, you can't just hop in, collect what you missed, and hop back out

*Status: Beaten (missing the last achivement)* Highly original and atmospheric, a game like no other. You play as two dots and explore the history of typography.

play & learn

It's a pretty boring game. I don't know how it ended up in my library. I think reading an article or watching a video about the topic would be more interesting. Also the tidbits show up at weird times and break the flow of the gameplay.
