Publisher Headup Games has gotten in touch to reveal that the release of its Wii U eShop exclusive Typoman has been postponed.
No reasons are given for the delay, but the publisher is keen to stress that it's only a minor setback and that the development process is progressing well. The game was due to launch this week in North America and Europe but was absent from this morning's EU download update.
Here's the official line:
We would like to inform you that the previously communicated release date of our Wii U exclusive game Typoman will be postponed by a little. As soon as we can set a final release date, we will send out a new announcement.
Without going into too much detail please rest assured that the development has been progressing well. The game simply needs a little more time to be finalized according to the developers and our high quality standards.
Developed by Brainseed Factory - who were kind enough to sit down for a chat with us recently - Typoman is a puzzle platformer with a strong focus on wordplay. Were you looking forward to playing it this week? Let us know with a comment.

Ok take your time.
I'll be fine with Year Walk this week.
No rush for me with this, I'm interested but wouldn't be a day one for me either way. Glad it's only a minor delay for those who are excited though......
I tried the demo and couldn't get past the part where the word "Trap" kills you.
@ Luffymcduck
It's a tricky puzzle, the letters you pass just before the trap become more important the more times u go the trap & run away ...
Bit gutted about this, as it was one of the few nindies@home I actually enjoyed. Sure it will be worth the wait.
Aw...I was looking forward to this. Oh well. Take your time.
Mario Maker, Year Walk and Shovel Knight will take up much time this week, so waiting a bit for this is OK for me.
Better with delay, and a unfinished version. There is so much other games to play while waiting.
Can indie developers just stop giving release dates for there games until like a day before they're sure the game is ready to come out? This is the second time within the last two months that an indie game I was looking forward to got delayed it's making me consider if I should even bother with indie games anymore.
I was looking forward to this game to play this week, but I'm willing to wait for a short period of time
I didn't even know it would come out this week... Oh, well... Back to Mario Maker...
I'm looking forward for this, anyway!
So what, just let them develop the game until it's finished and polished.
I'm looking forward to this game since I played the Nindies@home demo, but I can wait a bit longer, no worries.
Shame as I'm looking forward to playing it. Never mind guys, take your time. I'd rather have a game I can play than a game that's broken.
The title of the article should be: The game has been delayed.
Because when I first read it, I thought it was cancelled!
Looking forward to it. Having a little more time to focus on Mario Maker is fine by me.

I've noticed with Wii U at least, there is a bug that usually makes it's way into indie games that they didn't find in their dev kits. This has happened with games like Armillo, Runbow and Freedom Planet. At least, like the latter, their trying to fix the problems before release. The bugs typically aren't found until the game is ready to ship.
My most anticipated eShop title. I want the devs to take their time crafting this. Can't wait for it.
A bit disappointing not to have it this week, but I'd rather have a slick experience from the start. Also, releasing around the same time as a big game like Mario Maker probably isn't a good idea; better to wait until the hype from that has died down a little and there's a thirst for something new and funds to pay for it.
Ah, I was really looking forward to this one. Oh well, I can save some money for now, haha
