So this was made into an actual game. The font was sketched out a while ago, but after the GameComp started, I thought it would adapt well to transforming into one of those infinite jumper games popular on mobile devices. Instead I let it become a right to left scroller with the player jumping through words that actually say something. It's somewhat meta in that the player has to navigate the platform and make sense of the words at the same time. Simple to play. Try not to stumble over your words as you go about your business and time flies by. Just like in real life. The game is just a proof of concept and not at all near completed. I'll probably just post what I have to show it in motion. 11.26.14

Great concept, execution and sample. It should be lots of fun to play this game, leaping from letter to letter and trying to read them at the same time to discover upcoming missions.

Thank you all for your generous comments. You can now play a demo of StepWyze online! It will surely be a happy 40 seconds of gameplay for FontStructors. ...there may be some bug though....
