Frustrating and unhappy
This game sounded very interesting so I bought it. However, It doesn't even open even though my Mac meets all the game requirements.

At its heart, this game is about information on typography. You learn about how writing was initially invented, how the printing press became important, and then move on to typography at its core.
Interspaced between these short snippets of information, there's a simple physics driven platforming game. There are some nice backgrounds, really sothing music, and some clever letter-based levels.
I enjoyed it. It is very simple, but does the job. Don't go into this expecting a deep platforming game though, go into it expecting an interactive Wikipedia article on typography. Although, some of the characters you have to find on each level, can be quite hard to get to.. Especially at the later parts. And then there's the secret level.. Oh boy, that's definitely for us hardcore platformers! 8)
Recommended for anyone looking for something relaxing and informative.
