![]() It’s your basic puzzle-platformer, with the main draw being that all of the puzzles and platforms are composed of letters. In Typoman, the player controls a small hero made out of the letters that spell the word “hero.” This little guy must navigate a treacherous landscape riddled with puzzles and traps, all of which are also made out of words and letters, in a quest to reclaim his lost arm. A hero made up of jumbled letters who uses words to his advantage in order to overcome obstacles? Sounds great! But even the cleverest ideas need substance and polish to back them up, and after a while of playing Typoman, it became painfully obvious that it was rather lacking in both. ![]() Typoman does just that, and the idea was clever and unique enough to draw me in. ![]() So what if we took a word game and combined it with a platformer, another favorite genre of mine, which favors skill over brains? Looking at a group of letters and trying to form new words out of them can be fun and intellectually stimulating. Word games have always been a passion of mine.
