E3 2015: Only the Power of Letters Can Save the Bleak World in Typoman

My body is a puppet!

That's a pretty intense looking game for an E rating.

Very cool, but...WiiU??

Is there actually any puzzle solving involved or are the letters more or less just stylistic?

Weird. I was thinking this was a very Nintendo kind of game in terms of whimsy if not necessarily tone. Looks pretty dang neat.

@hypnotoadbrwowrowrow: It looked to me like it was a little puzzle solving because there seemed to be letters left over in some of the situations.

Was all about it till I saw the WiiU logo. Guess I won't be playing that unless it comes to PC (or X1/PS4) at some point. Looks cool though, like the styyyyyyyyyyyyle.

why isnt this on pc omg i wanplkay it

One inspirational quote from one very important name in the opening of your game is cringe-inducing, cliche, and faux-intellectual pretense enough to negatively colour impressions of your game. A trailer full of them is just taking the piss.

@icaria wow - was it really that infuriating? the 3 quotes chosen for the trailer have been hand-selected and adhere to the game's story.

@brainseed-factory: I think that guy is wildly overreacting; the quotes used seem fine. And he can't even be bothered to specify which quote he took such issue with.

Should we buy WiiU? The library is quite substantial now...what do you guys think?

finalley, a heroe we all deserf.

I saw the developer talking about the game in that Nindies @ Home trailer and I thought "cool, someone mixed edutainment and platforming. Hope the platforming is outstanding or it's not for me." Downloaded the demo/preview. Now that I know it's super morose, I'm motivated to play it.

It doesn't matter what tenuous relevance you can draw between the game and the chosen quotes, it's still pretentious, cliche, and all-together repellent. You may be fine with that kind of precious communication, be it flowery poetry, motivational posters on facebook, or indie devs trying really hard to convince you that they've read a lot of books with first-year film school schlock; I am not.

@bisonhero: ...

Looks stylin' as fuck. Hopefully the major antagonist is Comic Sans typeface.
