Introduction

Type:Rider is an indie platformer developed by Ex Nihilo in collaboration with Arte France. You control 2 dots and you will travel through 10 different levels that will introduce you to the history of typography through its most well-known fonts and characters. The 2 dots are tied to each other and you control them with , you can also jump with and rotate them with and . The game is pretty short and easy, with a lot of collectibles but they all are straight forward. The hardest part is to complete a certain level without dying but it's far from impossible with a bit of practice.


Walkthrough

Step 1: Complete the game collecting all the letters, asterisks and ampersands.

First you will need to complete the tutorial then all of the 8 main levels but try to pick up all the collectibles in this run, since they are all straight forward and won't cause you much problem. There is a total of 33 collectibles per level (26 letters, 6 asterisks and 1 ampersand). Each chapter has 4 different sections and you can restart a section if you've missed a collectible but you will need to complete the section in order to register it.
Once you've completed the game, watch the credits then play the bonus level while getting the collectibles (26 letters, 1 asterisk and 1 ampersand).
If the collectibles trophies don't pop, replay any chapter and collect the first letter and they should unlock.

During this step, you will earn:

Collector
Explorer
The End
Lol
Legend
A to Z
Ampersand


Step 2: Clean up.

Replay any chapter to get any remaining collectibles if needed, once you've collected them all you will be able to read all the pages in every book as they are unlocked when you collect the asterisks. Replay the Gothic level and complete it under 3 minutes, or replay any section in this level to lower your time. Replay the Clarendon level and complete it without dying, you'll have to replay the whole chapter if you die and can't restart only the section or it won't count. If you haven't earned them by this time, simply perform a 360 and 7 consecutive wall jumps to earn the remaining trophies.

During this step, you will earn:

360°
Time Attack
Wall Rider
Desperado
Thirst For Knowledge

12 trophies ( 7  )

  • Retrieve all 6 asterisks in a chapter

    There are 6 asterisks to collect in each level, except the bonus level. In order to obtain this trophy you need to collect all asterisks in the same chapter.

    Please refer to Legend for a video walkthrough.

  • Find an ampersand (&)

    There are 9 ampersands in the game and you will unlock this trophy after collecting your first one.

    Please refer to Ampersand for the location of all the ampersands.

  • Collect all letters

    Each level has a total of 26 letters to collect (A to Z), except the Origins level. All the letters are pretty straight forward and it shouldn't be a problem to collect them all. Once you have collected a letter, you don't have to collect it again even if you die and restart in the last checkpoint but you need to finish the section or they won't register.

    If you miss a letter, you can restart the level or the section and you can see which letters you have missed by clicking on each book and looking at the first page on the left. If there is a dot "." instead of a letter, it means you haven't collected it so it's easy to see which ones you need.

    Each level has 4 sections, you will always find the letters A to M in the first section and the letters N to Z in the third section. The bonus level has only one section with all the letters in it.

    Once you have collected the last letter, the trophy should pop. If not, then simply restart any chapter and collect any letter again and this time the trophy will pop.

    Please refer to Legend for a video walkthrough.

  • Retrieve all asterisks

    There are 6 asterisks to collect in each level, except in the bonus level where there is just 1. You need to collect them all to unlock the trophy. These are pretty straight forward and it shouldn't be a problem to collect them all. Once you have collected an asterisk, you don't have to collect it again even if you die and restart in the last checkpoint but you need to finish the section or they won't register.

    If you miss an asterisk, you can restart the level or the section and you can see how many asterisks you have missed by clicking on each book and looking at the first page on the left. If there is a dot "." instead of an asterisk under all the letters, it means you haven't collected it so it's easy to see which level you have to replay.

    Each level has 4 sections, you will always find the 2 first asterisks in the first section, 1 other in the second section, 2 more in the third section and the last one in the fourth section.

    You can find a playlist that will show you every letters and asterisks in all the levels here: LINK

  • Find the 8 hidden ampersands (&)

    The description of this trophy is incorrect, you will need to find all the 9 hidden ampersands. 1 in each levels + 1 in the bonus level.

    You need to collect them all to unlock the trophy. Unlike the letters and asterisks, the ampersands are kind of hidden in the levels. You can die after collecting one ampersand but you will need to finish the section or it won't register.

    If you miss an ampersand, you can restart the level or the section and you can see if you have missed one by clicking on each book and looking at the first page on the left. If there is a dot "." instead of the ampersand after all the letters, it means you haven't collected it so it's easy to see which level you have to replay.

    Once you have collected the last ampersand, the trophy should pop. If not, simply restart any chapter and collect any letter again and this time the trophy will pop.

    1 - Gothic: Section 3


    After the letter Q, jump on the platform above instead of pushing the lava.

    2 - Garamond: Section 3


    Jump in the water before the letter Q, then go to the left.

    3 - Didot: Section 1


    After the letter F, jump in the water to collect the G but on the right is the ampersand.

    4 - Clarendon: Section 3


    In the saloon on the platforms above, try not to push the barrel on the collectible as it may not count.

    5 - Futura: Section 3


    After collecting the letter T, jump on the blue triangle to collect the U then go to the left.

    6 - Times: Section 1


    After collecting F, jump again in the pipe.

    7 - Helvetica: Section 3


    After collecting the S, place the second canon (like in the screenshot) to reach the collectible.

    8 - Pixel: Section 3


    In the beginning, just let yourself fall down the left of the N.

    9 - Comic


    Use the big letter P to jump but this can be tricky as you are being chased by the cat so you have to be quick.

  • Complete the game

    To unlock this trophy, you have to complete the tutorial and the 8 main levels. You will also unlock the bonus level when completing the game.

  • Make a 360° in the air

    This is very simple to earn at the end of any level. When completing a level, you will float to the top of the area so simply hold or to perform a 360 and earn the trophy.

  • Make 7 wall jumps in a row

    There are multiple places to attempt this trophy but one of the best places is in the Helvetica level. In the first section, move forward to the letter G, then start jumping on the walls, jump 7 times in a row to unlock the trophy.

  • Complete the Gothic level in less than 3 minutes

    There are 4 different sections in this level and the total time must be under 3 minutes in order to earn this trophy, which means you don't have to replay the whole level but instead you can just replay one section and get a better time. You can see your total time by clicking on the book and looking at the first page on the left. It's really not hard to complete this level in under 3 minutes as it's the easier one, just don't forget to use to rotate and go faster.

    Here is an example:

  • Read all the books

    You need to read every page of every book to unlock this trophy but to unlock all the pages, you need to find all the asterisks in every level so please refer to Legend for a video walkthrough.
    Once you have collected them all, open one book and turn the pages with then rinse and repeat this operation with all of the books.

  • Complete the Clarendon level without dying

    This is probably the hardest trophy of the game as you need to complete the whole level without dying, which means if you die you can't restart just the section but you will have to restart the whole level.

    There are 4 sections in this level and the first one is pretty easy as the only difficult part is when you control the minecart, because the controls for it are pretty clunky

    The only way to die in the second part is falling in the holes so be careful with that but if the white ball falls or explodes, it won't count as a death.

    The third part is probably the hardest as a sniper will start to shoot at you when you are walking on the big O letter. It won't stop shooting at you until the end of the level. However there is a way to stop this sniper. Stay on the left side of the O until the last moment and when it's about to shoot, jump quickly to the right so the sniper will glitch and stop shooting. This will make the rest of the level a bit easier.

    The last part is also tricky as you need to avoid the electricity. Be careful because even if you don't touch the cables, the electricity can still touch you. The trick is to jump and move as quickly as you can, when you see the light moving left to right but watch out for the 2 lights that can kill you.

    Complete the secret level

    Once you have completed the game, move to the right then the blocks will crumble and reveal another path. You will have to watch the credits and you can't skip them. Once it's done, continue to the right and jump in the water, and enter the cave on the left to find the bonus level. You need to press to enter this level. This level is short but annoying and doesn't have any checkpoints. You need to be quick to complete this level because you will be chased by a big cat that will kill you if you touch it.

    Please refer to Legend for a video walkthrough.
