Pros and cons of Type:Rider app for iPhone and iPad
Type:Rider app good for
Graphics, concept and music on this game are all amazing, I only rated four stars because of the controls that are not so precise. But this is a fantastic game that deserves to be played!
This game is tremendously fun, with beautiful graphics, and an excellent history of typography. Highly recommended.
Simply one of the most beautiful and innovative yet simple games Ive ever played.. Not only is it fun but you also learn along the way.. Id give it 6 stars if I could!!
Truly an inspiring game. Great music, great graphics and we learn a lot about the history of writing. Highly recommended!
Absolutely amazing game! Combines a fun puzzle game with educational information on typography and the evolution of type and processes used to produce forms of written language. 150% recommended.

Some bad moments
I have the ipad mini ios 7, i cant play because it keeps crushing! So sad! I looks like limbo a game i realy like!
I bought the game, but I could never start it because it crashes on my 4s.
Was this even tested?!
The mixture of slowmotion jump and run and educational reading is ideal for getting tired!
I just bought the app and havent even finished the tutorial and its crashed twice!! Im not impressed for 2.99. It seems like a cool game and I love typography but I would like to be able to play the game!
The game mechanics are fine, the world is definitely "typographic", but the educational accoutrements are terribly designed—tacked on, Id argue. The typography *of* is downright awful—tiny justified text with virtually no leading?!
It was great until it just stopped working. It gets to the loading screen and then crashes. I tried contacting the makers through the App Support link, but the site also didnt work. Disappointing.
