Briefing
Tumbles (Previously Silk Soar) is a Physics Flinging, Rage-Bringing Narrative 2D Platformer (Foddian), where you take on life as a newborn caterpillar attempting to meet the challenges of flinging yourself from the rainforest floor to the top of the canopy.
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 and a variety of obstacles to go further through the layers of the rainforest in search of the top of the canopy.
Explore the poetic narrative of the struggles of reaching from the depths of darkness in search of freedom and light.
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?
In Tumbles, every climb can bring you further through the climb you have faced before or challenge you with a combination of evolutions. 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 make it to freedom?
