Pitch
A psychedelic soundscape in the sky. Puzzle through the seasons by conducting chaotic creatures called Tempopo to rescue musical flowers. Design and populate your melodic garden, then let the music play!
Description
When Hana’s garden of musical flowers are scattered across a sky full of beautiful islands, she must turn to the magical Tempopo for help returning them. Chaotic and uncoordinated by nature, the Tempopo rely on Hana’s conducting skills to keep on the right track, and solve each island’s puzzle.
PUZZLE THROUGH THE SEASONS
Each island is a challenge of planning and execution. Experiment with different configurations and routes, instruct every Tempopo to play their part as they smash, block, lift and push each other through the puzzles that span all four seasons.
LET THE MUSIC PLAY
A bright and joyful world that’s permeated with music, where every living element moves in harmony with a rhythmic heartbeat. With a soundtrack by BAFTA award-winning composer & audio director Jeff van Dyck, every note is a joy.
SPACE TO GROW
With each puzzle you solve, the flowers you rescue become a part of your very own melodic garden. Each type of flower sings its own tune, and you can synthesize their melodies to enjoy unique musical performances.
History
Tempopo started out while Sanatana was visiting his indie developer friend Seiji, in Japan, as they wanted to explore ways to transform the classic character puzzle games they adored into more accessible and interesting 3D spaces. From there, Jeff van Dyck’s guiding hand grew all of those stems around a relaxing melodic heartbeat, creating an experience that is much more than the sum of its parts.
Features
- Guide Tempopo through 60 levels, manoeuvring, smashing, blocking, lifting and pushing your way through spatial puzzles across four seasons
- Experience a bright and joyful world that’s permeated with music, where every living element moves in harmony with the musical heartbeat
- Build your own melodic garden with the flowers you rescue throughout the game and enjoy a unique musical performance

- Soundtrack by BAFTA award-winning composer & audio director Jeff van Dyck
