    Typoman Revised
    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    Typoman Revised

    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

    Some fun word puzzles and atmospheric levels. Could have done with more puzzles, felt a bit short.

    Delightful, demanding and inspired. [May 2017, p.92]

    Typoman: Revised is a game with an amazingly creative concept. There is a lot of potential here, but unfortunately Typoman does not fully live up to it.

    Typoman is a game that looks a bit like Limbo but just isn’t as good. It does do some very interesting things with word puzzles, but the short running time and the way the later puzzles tail off in quality stop this being a true gem.
