Critic Reviews for Tempopo
Tempopo's rhythmic puzzling is undeniably great, but is let down by a lack of mechanical pacing and an absence of Witch Beam's coveted storytelling.
Tempopo is a heartwarming little adventure that brings so much energy with its clever gameplay and charming visuals. Watching the little creatures successfully march as you solve each level is always satisfying. The straightforward mechanics in Tempopo ensure a very approachable experience for younger or inexperienced audiences. However, there are too many areas where it feels too simplistic, and lacks the polish to stand out as an exceptional puzzle game.
The fact is that as a fan of Chu Chu Rocket, I am continually disappointed that there isn’t more done with that kind of puzzler, and Tempopo more than scratched the itch. This has been my favourite puzzle game in years.
Driven by a passion for creation with music as its heart, Tempopo is unlike any other game you’ve played. Beneath its colourful and childish exterior lies a impressive degree of depth to its gameplay, sleek design, and an absurd attention-to-detail for audio. After the runaway success that was Unpacking, Witch Beam have once again changed directions and prove to be a studio not bound by genres.
If you’ve ever wanted a game that blends brain-tickling puzzles with bloomin’ adorable charm, Tempopo might just be your jam — strawberry-flavoured and served with a soothing synth soundtrack.
