    Definitely a step up from the original iteration. It has more of its own style, and the gameplay mechanics rarely feel clunky. Though it hints at a meaningful narrative, ultimately it isn’t very substantial.

    Typoman: Revised is a game where you command the wind and rain by word. Only small issues spoil this mixture of unique gameplay and atmosphere, fortunately. You will remember this arcade where you write more than you fight for a long time.

    The game just wasn’t quite what I expected it to be. It’s also a shame that it’s so short.

    Remarkable platformer with original gameplay, elaborated puzzles and rough poetics. The visual aspect of the game is delightful, but the game time is short and there are troubles with user-unfriendly controls. [Issue#272]

    Despite having cool atmosphere and unique ideas, Typoman: Revised‘s puzzles and platforming leave a lot to be desired.

So many witty puzzles which will have you smirk a lot about the developer's creativity. From simple things (like spikes that you fall into which actually spell AAAAAAAA), or monsters that are made of evil words like HATE, which you fight with words like LOVE and TRUTH. Sometimes you die and can't solve the puzzle if you don't go back to a shielded area which is made of the word FAITH. GENIOUS! If you have a basic understanding of the English language then you will have a blast. Basic is enough, because most words you need to understand are like OPEN, DOWN, TILT and so on, plus you will eventually solve the puzzle using trial and error and I found out that most puzzles allow multiple solutions which is great!… Expand

If you like puzzle platformers you will love this game and be amazed by its wonderful game world and riddles. Not only are the puzzle situations diversified and very fun to solve, but the easter eggs are a perfect for spending hours and hours finding funny words and pimp the little hero character ( really made out of the letters H-E-R-O ) with funny little add ons like a fancy hat, cat ears or a cape! The art style is beautiful and you get immersed into these mysterious and nicely designed levels ( chapters ) you play through. The music and sound is giving everything the final touch and I really enjoyed playing this game from the very first second to the last epic moment. Thanks brainseed-factory for creating an unrivaled game like this. Thumbs up!… Expand

    The only reason it    Simple and creative with some unique puzzle solving concept. Very clever design both puzzle-wise and artistically.

    The only reason it doesn't get a 10 is because I had to struggle for hours with technical problems to get it to work properly. Crafting a word made the game break and drop to 10 fps. I finally got it to work by trying an older version, but even without the game breaking it still suffered from unstable fps and stuttered like hell which is unacceptable for such a small, non-demanding game.    … Expand

    Is Typoman one of the games worth your time and money? I have found many positives    Here is my Video Review:
    https://youtu.be/oB6ToHS8N4A

    Is Typoman one of the games worth your time and money? I have found many positives in the game - story presentation, original ideas, disturbing game atmosphere, inventive level design and puzzles, gradual learning curve, balanced difficulty, easy and responsive controls and atmospheric audiovisuals. There are not many negatives - just clunky rearranging of letters when creating words, just one and sometimes quite complicated solution of each puzzle and maybe the absence of some co-op multiplayer that would make the game more suitable for family playing. When it comes to this, I can recommend the game for older kids only. At first, they need to have quite good knowledge of English and also they will less likely have the nightmares caused by the oppressive game atmosphere.

    Pros:
    - story presentation
    - original ideas
    - atmosphere
    - level design
    - challenging puzzles
    - balanced difficulty
    - controls
    - artistic graphics
    - music and sounds

    Cons:
    - clunky rearranging of letters
    - just one solution for each puzzle
    - absence of local co-op multiplayer

    If you are looking for a game that improves your typing skills you are on the wrong address indeed but if you want to play a good puzzle platformer based on playing with letters this one would be one of the best in its genre. I am giving Typoman Thumbs Up and VideoGaming Father’s Index 8+ out of 10 - recommended!    … Expand

    A Clever Adventure
    Typo Man Revised is an extended and slightly altered version of the original Typoman
    It isn’t much longer though only taking around 3 hours to complete
    This is a story of good vs evil,
    A 2d platformer where you play as hero trying to get through to the end of each hour long chapter
    This is no ordinary 2d platformer though..
    This is a bit of a 2d platformer meets scrabble game…
    It will definitely test your wits as your trying to come up with words you can use with the letters around you to activate switches reach higher places and activate a reaction in the games environment..
    Thankfully none of the solutions are too hard…
    Though some solutions will seem out of place for example a hanging letter in one chapter I needed to use cut to make it drop... while the game spent the other parts of the game teaching me to swing on these letters…
    So the game does contradict itself at times…
    but these moments are few and far between…
    You never feel frustrated even when youre stumped…
    its genuinely satisfying solving these word puzzles to continue through these charming and interactive worlds…
    Bringing words to life...
    The game eventually even adds a lie creature…
    A lie will turn words into their opposites,
    giving you more letters to work with and more opportunity for more challenging puzzles...
    and that’s exactly what you get before the final boss…
    An insane difficulty spike near the end that will have you switching words, making new words, and then switching them, to make even more new words.. And so on…
    But like every other challenge the game throws at you... it felt good once that section was finally passed… and I never got angry at the game.. Only at myself...
    Typoman offers an enjoyably 3 hour brain teaser worth the run through.
    I give Typoman Revised
    a 7.5/10    … Expand

For one, it's entirely derivative of Limbo with regards to art style, platforming and puzzle solving.
