Typoman is a two dimensional puzzle platformer distinguished by a unique game world. You slip into the role of the HERO struggling to make your way through a dark, surreal world. Despite your small stature you have a powerful gift: You can use letters to alter your environment! Be the HERO and set out on the journey to become whole and gain the powers you need to defeat the giant, evil demon that rules the world you are trapped in. In a bleak, shadowy world built out of letters, a small being made of type named HERO comes to life and sets off through a hostile landscape. His unique gift is the power of language itself: by gathering and arranging letters into words, he can reshape his surroundings, spelling "up" to raise a lift or "open" to unlock a path forward. As the challenges grow more devious, HERO must craft ever cleverer words to overcome the dark forces around him and press on through the oppressive world.
