TheXboxHubGareth BrierleyFeb 20174.5/5 starsSimply put, Typoman is a superb indie title that I had a brilliant time with. The main campaign may be over in around four hours, but there are a couple of mini games that test your creating skills to the max. The world, the story and gameplay it creates are stunning, with real deep moments of sadness quickly switching to those of hope.

Gaming NexusSean ColleliJan 20168.5/10Typoman is a challenging, if at times frustrating platformer with a great core concept. It relies too heavily on trial and error and the controls could be a bit tighter, but the puzzle design and stark, haunting aesthetic more than make up for any drawbacks.

ExaminerPatrick Hickey Jr.Nov 20154/5 starsIt's not a perfect puzzle game and the difficulty sometimes hampers that platform experience, but combining both in "Typoman" is a recipe for success.

Metro GameCentralNov 20153/10A great idea ruined by some very strange design decisions, that turn what should be a fun platformer puzzler into a gloomy and illogical word game.

DestructoidBen DavisNov 20153.5/10The beginning of Typoman showed promise, full of amusing and creative moments, something that anyone could enjoy. But unfortunately it wasn't able to hold that momentum for very long and quickly devolved into tedium and confusion, and lots of standing around doing nothing.
