Play Typoroids: Asteroids reimagined for font fans


Play Typoroids: Asteroids reimagined for font fans

Asteroids is a stone cold arcade classic: It was just you, your triangular spaceship and endless hordes of 8-bit enemies. Now there’s a new version to play, inspired by the original but angled at typography nerds.

Built by Polish design studio Hippotam, Typoroids replaces the aliens with giant floating letters. As you blast them, they become smaller, more difficult to deal with characters.

Besides the new foes, the game is exactly how you remember Asteroids and if you rack up a good score, there’s a leader board to show your achievement/utter lack of real productivity.
