More than 5 years after its initial release on the Wii U, Typoman is still one of the most unique creative indie games out there. With all the feedback we received in the last 5 years, we created a remastered edition of Typoman built specifically for mobile devices.


 
What is Typoman Remastered?


We went through every segment of the game improving visual quality, camera works, performance, gameplay balancing and audio. Controls were optimized for small touch screens.
We added a nice Hint System! Since you need to have a basic understanding of the English language and sometimes think outside the box, a gradual hint system will help you out if you should ever get stuck.
Two Mini Games were added and optimized for the mobile experience, increasing the gameplay time from 3-4 hours to ...a lot more. :)


Typoman is a unique, artistic premium game with no ads or recurring payments. Players can try the Prologue Level for free, then decide if they want to unlock the full game once and forever ($6.99 / €6.99 / £5.99).


Explain Typoman in 1 minute!


Typoman is a hybrid of a classic platformer with a literary twist. Players can jump, run, climb up ledges, swing on ropes and pull levers. Interactive letters and words are scattered throughout the game levels. Characters are made of letters too. Players can pick up letters and form words, or change existing words, which will have an effect on the environment. Puzzles are solved by contextual thinking and the use of words. Creating words can either be accomplished by manually rearranging letters until they visually form a word, or by using the "Wordscrambler" feature utilizing a more efficient approach via drag & drop. If the word is valid, it will glow and show a sphere that signifies the range of it. If the word is out of range it will keep flickering until it is either decrafted or brought closer to the target object. For example: The word DOWN can lower a gate, the word ON will turn on a switch or activate a platform. Most of the effects can be reverted by pulling apart the letters and thereby destroying the word.
