TumbleSeed just got friendlier, and cheaper ⊟

The “4 Peaks Update” is now available for the Switch release of TumbleSeed, adding a bunch of changes designed to make the roguelike easier to get into, if not just plain easier. For example, the “4 Peaks” are four new non-random levels, allowing you to make progress and practice with fewer surprises.

Other changes include weekly challenges, unlockable passive “aura” abilities that can be earned and equipped, and a Switch-exclusive two-player battle mode.

And to celebrate the update, the game is on sale for $10. If you considered trying the game before but didn’t, or if you tried it and couldn’t progress, the developers just put a lot of extra work in for you! I'm looking forward to checking it out again.

TumbleSeed is created by a group of indies including Benedict Fritz and Greg “Solipskier/Puzzlejuice/Ridiculous Fishing/Basically Every Good Game On a Phone” Wohlwend. 

Also: In looking up stuff for this story I realized that I had maybe had an opportunity to play this in the past and spaced on the email for whatever reason and now I feel just terrible. Because this looks great.

TumbleSeed remains once of my favorite games of the year thus far. We first saw it at PAX East 2017, and, as stated in our review, it feels “wholly unique compared to the rest of the genre” of rougelikes on the market thanks to it’s innovative take on movement, charming aesthetics and surprising strategic depth.

We had the chance to talk with Benedict Fritz, one part of the 5 person team (which…
