About Tumbles

Tumbles is a deceptively cute rage game, where you take on life as the newly hatched caterpillar Tumbles. 
  • Attempt the challenges of flinging yourself from the rainforest floor to the top of the canopy with a variety of challenges. 
  • “A Foddian for the family”, in Tumbles, you can apply assist modes at any time during your climb. 
  • Gather around and attempt to beat each other’s best attempts or cheer Tumbles on to his greatest heights.
Launch your caterpillar around using a catapult-like motion to bounce off walls and flowers, be pushed by the wind, slide across wet leaves and avoid obstacles.As you reach higher into the canopy, you will face more difficult jumps, boss caterpillars, birds, and more to overcome as you sling yourself through the layers of the rainforest. Each jump could get you closer to the light or risk a tumble of even greater proportions.Explore the poetic narrative of the struggles of reaching from the depths of darkness in search of freedom and light. Inspired by the struggles of overcoming PTSD.Each time you choose to build your cocoon, there is an increasing chance of evolutions affecting your next caterpillar. Will you be a different colour, have a more bouncy body, or have tunnel vision? What combinations will you have, and will they help or hinder your next climb? 
Collecting Lychees along the way can be used to develop your skills along 4 different pathways or pay off boss caterpillars to use their shortcuts… If you haven’t already scared them off.
Restarting is part of the game, whether trying again after a big tumble for different evolutions, a different pathway or trying to beat your fastest time, unlock beautifully crafted achievements.PIn Tumbles, every climb can bring you further through the climb you have faced before or challenge you with a combination of evolutions and pathways. Will you make it out from the forest floor and into the light, or will this climb be cut short as another cocoon in the darkness?Can you guide Tumbles to freedom?

Had a lot of fun playing Tumbles, it took me back to a much older MSX title with similar gameplay mechanics called Bugaboo. Tumbles himself is such an adorable mascot, easily one of the most well designed I've seen in a long time. Gameplay is built around physics based manoeuvring by flinging Tumbles up onto platforms and getting him to the next area. The frustration obviously comes with getting higher up and making a calculated error and ending up closer to the bottom, but that's the entire nature of the game. Each new area grants you skill points that allow you to upgrade your abilities to make traversal easier, ranging from your silk, to your stickiness, to your floatiness. The weather effects are great and the BGM is super cosy, really adding to the atmosphere and general vibe of the game. Taking bad falls and hitting rock bottom have made me want to ragequit more than once, but my desire to see Tumbles reach the end of his quest and fulfil his destiny only pushes me further towards completion!

A lot of fun, but rage inducing. One wrong launch and you can end up tumbling all the way back to the beginning. My kids love launching the little caterpillars. It would benefit from native controller support.

The game's title of tumbles is very fitting - you will definitely tumble, but that is just part of the journey. It is a fun little game to pick up and play. Also it has a cute caterpillar. what more do you want?
