Stuck at tutorial
Bought this game, super excited about the topic. But was unable to proceed after opening the first page. Not able to resume the game play.
Cool
But it crashes
In love with this game
If you’re a graphic designer, young or old, this is a phenomenally fun way to explore the history of typography. Gorgeous visuals, great and simple historical anecdotes. Obsessed!
App Doesn’t Work
I played this game on steam years ago, and then again on switch when that version released. It’s fun and informative. Sadly, this version of the game is broken. It has so far frozen in the tutorial level 5 times in a row. Please fix.
Important
Please update this app for compatibility.
Great game if I could play it!
I played this game as a kid on my sisters iPad and absolutely adored it, mega fun way to spend my free time and such a whimsical premise. However I am currently experiencing issues after redownloading it in which after collecting my first asterisk the game will not let me advance, very frustrating since I know this is a great game, perhaps the game needs to be updated but it would be really cool to play it again.
Mostly fun
Overall it is an entertaining game with a creative landscape of fonts and text. Every once in awhile I’d get stuck and it became down right frustrating. I love a good challenge and made it all the way to book 8, but finally had to quit when I couldn’t get past a part. Maybe I was just missing a simple solution, but reading other reviews, sounds like it’s common for everyone. I can understand making some letters nearly impossible to get for 100% completion, but shouldn’t have this much difficulty on the standard play through with no way to bypass.
Rider is back and now available on iOS 11!
