Publisher CULT Games and Australian developer Witch Beam, creators of Unpacking, are thrilled to launch Tempopo today on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S/Game Pass.
Displaced by a great storm, Hana’s magical musical flowers have found themselves scattered across a series of puzzling sky islands - and only you can help bring them safely home!
Your helpers are the Tempopo: incredibly cute creatures who are also extremely chaotic and uncoordinated by nature. Luckily they take direction really well, so with a flick of your conductor's baton, you’ll be able to get them on beat in no time!
- Plot Your Path: Carefully plot the Tempopo’s path through each puzzle, helping them work together to use items and interact with the island map to safely reach the island's end.
- A Puzzler’s Paradise: Each puzzle is an exercise in trial and error, as you experiment with different placements and routes. But don’t worry, Hana is always on hand to give a helpful hint to anyone who needs it! Bonus challenge levels add a huge chunk of extra puzzling outside the main levels for those seeking a bit more difficulty too.
- Plot Your Garden: As you puzzle across all four seasons rescuing Hana’s magical flowers, you’ll replant them back in her musical garden.
- Nature’s Orchestra: Each flower plays a note based on where they’re placed, and you can even stack multiple flowers into the same spot to create chords. As you progress, you’ll collect a whole variety of different sounds to add to the melody - horns, harps and more! Get lost in the rhythm of making new tunes, or trying to recreate your favourites!
“Creating Tempopo led to the journey of a lifetime,” said Sanatana Mishra, Director of Tempopo and co-founder of Witch Beam. “We've seen everything from a young woman in Melbourne being inspired to create her own games, to an older man in Kyoto giving himself a silent yet forceful fist pump as he rescued a particularly difficult flower. I hope the finished game can surprise and delight those players in ways they couldn't imagine.”
Tempopo is launching at $19.99/€19.99/£16.74, with a very limited 20% launch discount!
