Headup Games were surely delighted to learn that Typoman has secured five nominations in the German Developer Awards 2015.
The Wii U exclusive was named in Best Game Design, Best Audio, Best Console Game, Best German Indie Game and Best German Game categories, seeing it run in competition with favourites in Blue Byte’s Anno 2205 and Kalypso’s Grand Ages: Medieval.
Only games developed in Germany were eligible for nomination, and the awards show will take place in Cologne, German on 17th December 2015.
