Type:Rider Reviews

Type:Rider is a beautifully crafted game that combines art, history, and puzzle-solving. The visuals are stunning, and the gameplay is both educational and entertaining. I highly recommend it!

Really fun, educational, and unique platformer game where we play as punctuation - specifically, a colon. I find it really cool how the game follows the history of different fonts. It's such a unique concept to make a game out of. The backgrounds are beautiful and I love the music. There's something quite elegant about many of the scenes, especially for the earlier levels. I thought it was so cute how the Pixels level had nods to Tetris and Snake. You can tell a lot of love and care was poured into the game. It's really pretty and showcases the fonts and their history beautifully. The gameplay mechanics are easy to learn, although in some levels, they don't always work as expected. But in general, I think this game is quite beginner-friendly (besides the secret level) and really enjoyable. Dying doesn't really mean anything, you restart pretty much right where you were before (again, besides the secret level), so it's not frustrating or anything. The game is relatively short - you can knock it out in an evening. I really recommend this if you want a playformer that's pretty, quick, and not too difficult.

It may not be the best platformer, but it's a must for all the type lovers and graphic designers. An entertaining way to refresh my knowledge about type history.
