Critic Reviews
Pure Nintendo
By Kaelyn DaughertyTypoman has some great original ideas. If you're a fan of platforming or puzzle games you'll want to check this one out. I just wish the game was a little longer.
NintendoWorldReport
By Scott PolhemusIf you're after a game that marries clever word puzzling and platforming, you may find an unexpected gem. Just be prepared to have your platforming patience tested far more than it ought to be.
Nintendo Life
By Jon MundyTypoman remains a refreshing combination of platform-adventure and word puzzler, with a particularly creative use of words and letters as physical tools. It's undoubtedly spoiled by frustratingly clunky platforming mechanics and a lack of clarity in some of its design, but those after something a little bit different and cerebral should give it a spin.
The Games Machine
By Andrea MadernaTypoman Revised is a brainy and well-designed platformer, offering few hours of clever fun and some degree of replayability. The Switch version is by far the better one, more polished and with some new ingredients that will please the players. Unfortunately, the touch screen is not longer supported (but it was on the Wii U version).

By Justin NationOverall, especially as an English major and true fan of fonts, I found TypoMan to be a creative delight...
