Witch Beam, the Brisbane-based dev group behind BAFTA-winning indie hit Unpacking, has revealed that its subsequent venture — a musical puzzler by the identify of Tempopo — is coming to Swap someday in 2024.
With Cult Video games on publishing duties, the preliminary trailer debuted within the current PC Gaming Present, however you may try the “Director’s Reduce” of it above. We advocate watching the entire thing, because the gameplay clips on the finish do a greater job of explaining the nippiness vibes and puzzle gameplay than the tone-setting opening.
Primarily, the titular Tempopo is a radish-y, onion-like plant creature that bounces to the beat, similar to the whole lot else in these little diorama backyard phases. Musical flowers in want of rescue have apparently been scattered throughout the sky, though solely the Tempopo — protagonist Hana’s “magical backyard sprites” are as much as the duty, and you may want to make use of them to resolve environmental puzzles and work your approach to every backyard’s exit.
BAFTA award-winning Audio Director and Composer, Jeff van Dyck (who labored on Unpacking and Alien: Isolation) is dealing with the music right here, with Angela van Dyck and Eneteti Turnbull on vocals.
We’ll go away it to the PR to elaborate on the setup somewhat extra:
Mischievous and uncoordinated by nature, Tempopo will depend on your directions to work collectively and remedy every island’s puzzle. Use your wits or trial and error to seek out the right configuration, fixing puzzles with ingenious options involving a number of Tempopo performing completely different roles.
– Information Tempopo by 60 ranges, manoeuvring, smashing, blocking, lifting and pushing your method by spatial puzzles throughout 4 seasons
– Expertise a vivid and joyful world that’s permeated with music, the place each dwelling aspect strikes in concord with the musical heartbeat
-Construct your individual melodic backyard with the flowers you rescue all through the sport and revel in a novel musical efficiency
Along with Swap, Tempopo will launch on Steam, Xbox One, and Xbox Collection X|S.
Now we have to say, these little Captain Toad-style ranges do look pretty, and the extra we watched the trailer, the extra the beat began to take us over. Unpacking was a tremendous recreation (though one which induced gentle panic on this specific author having moved home twice in six months in actual life), so we’re desirous to see — and listen to — extra of this one.
Tell us under if that is (or is not fairly) your Tempopo.
