Description

A Tofu Tail is a flavor-swapping puzzle game featuring simply addictive gameplay that is bursting with color. A fairy tale of a man-turned-tofu by a deceptive fox spirit, the Kitsune, Mr. Tofu searches the surreal, puzzle realms of the foxes for a way to break his curse!

You will need all of your wits and problem solving skills to help Mr. Tofu plop his way through 100+ puzzles in the wild wilderness of the Kitsune world. Fight off the territorial Tengu in the stormy Tempest Realm, avoid the Oni bouncers in the Disco Realm, manage out-of-body experiences in the Spirit Realm, and much more! 

History

A Tofu Tail began initially as a learning project for the alchemedium team - a group of friends from various fields outside of the games industry. This first game was planned to be a simple idea for a puzzle game that would be easy to learn from, without having to worry about some more advanced parts of development.

The team quickly learned that 'easy' was not quite the correct perspective for game development, but grew to love the challenges and hurdles that came along with designing and producing a video game.

alchemedium has gone through several iterations and rebuilds of A Tofu Tail, learning more and more from playtesting and discussions with other developers. The team's design sense grew, but not as fast as the desire for worldbuilding. Creating new worlds quickly became a passion that would permeate in each future project, including A Tofu Tail.

Features

  • Addicting puzzle gameplay across 100+ levels
  • Additional puzzle challenges through each of the 7 Kitsune realms
  • Whimsical story heavily influenced by Japanese folklore
  • Unique and completely hand-drawn art style
  • A retro(ish) soundtrack featuring over 16 music tracks - blending chiptunes with modern rock and metal
