Type:Rider

Type:Rider is a puzzle platform game where the player guides two connected dots through different environments to reach an exit. Similar to Nightsky and other rolling ball games, physics come into play to climb hills and move over platforms. The game's theme is the history of typography, starting with the earliest origins in cave paintings to the most modern forms and fonts.

The game has a distinct educational aspect, not only in the visual images during gameplay, but also providing detailed information about the history. During the game white flakes can be picked up that unlock pages (called archives) in a separate book, providing text and images about the origin and history of the font or technique. Originally started as a student game, the final version was developed in cooperation with Arte Creative, an emergent arts division of the Franco-German TV network ARTE, as well as font developer Monotype.
