The game launched for Wii U in 2015.Ī year after release, Brainseed Factory announced an updated version of the game called Typoman: Revised would be released for PC, Xbox One and PS4. The game was originally a Wii U exclusive, and Nintendo showcased the game at the program during E3 2015. Brainseed Factory founder Bilal Chbib explains that the original plan was to "have objects and monsters shaped out of letters, and nothing else." As development continued the team eventually decided to implement puzzle based gameplay using letters and words. The idea of Typoman was born out of a desire to experiment with typography and gameplay. Situations become increasingly complicated as the game progresses, requiring the player to come up with puns to manipulate items. For example, players can spell "up" to activate an elevator, or "open" to open a door. Typoman features a number of environmental puzzles that are solved by crafting words that are relevant to the situation.
