    I don't play many platformers, so I normally wouldn't try a game like this, but the art and presentation looked interesting to me so I tried it. Overall I found it very playable for someone like myself who's not used to platformers. It had a few frustrating moments, but not many.

Overall I found it very playable for someone like myself who's not used to platformers. It had a few frustrating moments, but not many. You play as a a colon (2 dots), and you traverse levels made up of different themes and fonts inspired by the era they became popularized. One of my favorites was the western themed level with one of the western fonts, but the there are other good levels also and they're generally interesting to play through. The colon shape is interesting for the game mechanics as it allows you to grab corners and spin as you play. I think this game might appeal more to a gamer who's not really into platformers like myself. If you're experienced at platformers the game might not present much challenge. I play slowly, and got about 4 hours of play finishing everything except the secret level which is quite a bit harder than the rest of the game. Overall, I had fun with with the game, and enjoyed the artwork, music and concept. Probably won't play again though. If it sounds interesting, give it a try.… Expand

    From fun to frustrating
    Type Rider is a side scrolling platforming Games where you play as a colon 2 dots not the other one The game starts out pretty okay, decently fun, learning the history of fonts.. hopping on letters and slowly this 2 hours game gets more and more challenging… I really enjoyed the first half.. it was pretty numbing.. simple and enjoyable enough…    Type Rider

    The game starts out pretty okay, decently fun, learning the history of fonts..
    hopping on letters
    and slowly this 2 hours game gets more and more challenging…
    I really enjoyed the first half..
    it was pretty numbing..
    simple and enjoyable enough…
    a few puzzles thrown in there to get a white dot into a slot and move on…
    But as the challenge increased..
    the less fun the game got…
    These dots aren’t exactly the most fluent characters in platforming game history..
    one will weigh the other down…
    you can balance with the triggers, but throughout my journey I never got the hangout it
    I button mashed my way through the frustrating final level which by the way also feature a game braking bug
    This game has a feature where if youre stuck you can press triangle to restart a section of a chapter…
    Of course id bump this button way too many times on a table while frustratingly trying to balance these characters mid air only to lose my progress…
    And one of these accidental redos set me a good ways back and when I got to the point I was at in the level, it was closed off and I couldn’t progress,
    so I had to exit the level and retry this frustrating section again..
    Most of the few final levels are frustrating as they make you deal with the balancing mechanic that the game never really prepares you for..
    youre just suddenly forced to use it after you learned about it way back in the tutorial…
    But frustrations aside.. none of the levels are really interesting or well design..
    aside for some very few and tiny neat moments in the game..
    The level design really just feels like a bunch of random levels all over the place and nothing more…
    Type Rider is an okay time..
    Nothing Special..
    Nothing youll remember after you reach its credits..
    I give Type Rider
    a 5/10    … Expand

    Type:Rider in really an unique game. Is a game that manages to mix wisely entertainment and culture, reinventing at the same time a formula like platform with few but valid variants.
