The episode of Zed Games is up where I'm on talking about Tempopo! It's also my first time on the radio or a podcast so this was a really cool (but nervewracking) experience 😳☺️ www.zedgamesau.net/podcasts/tem...

Looking for a new, endearing, family-friendly, spatial puzzle game? Does Alayna have a recommendation for you! Here's #Tempopo

"If you want to experience a beautiful and challenging puzzle game that bends and tests you throughout, this is the title for you. The music is stunning; each small world will make you think outside the box."

TEMPOPO music needed to be upbeat and cheerful. Composing forced me to be in a good mood for about 7 years 😅. Got my dancepop on, fired up the synths, even wrote lyrics. Recorded family singing, a blast all round. OST is out now! Steam & Bandcamp version have 91 tracks with extra instrumental mixes!

TEMPOPO IS OUT!! It's been a whirlwind 😉 and now get to show it to the world! I'm so honoured to not only have worked on this game with great friends and confidantes, including my partner. It feels like a labour of love and I'm weepy now that the Tempopo are out in the world 🥹🥹 💚🩷💚 tempopogame.com

I've been working on @tempopogame.com's UI for the past year. It's been a pleasure working for Witch Beam again, and the whole time I've been keen to do some Unpacking crossover fanart. With the project wrapping up I finally had some time to do it! Check out Tempopo on the 17th! #pixelart #gamedev

🌹🎵🌷✨ Tempopo comes out in ONE WEEK!!! ✨🌷🎵🌹 Want to know exactly when? We've put together a handy-dandy graphic for you to know exactly when you'll be free to start conducting 🎶

Finally showing up here & thought I’d say hi on #portfolioday Hi, I'm Jess Smith, an Aussie concept artist + illustrator based in Japan working in the game industry. I design environments and love worldbuilding + storytelling. 🌸 artofjess.com 🌸 instagram.com/jessmeixing

When making @tempopogame.com levels, i'd often start in 1 of 3 ways: = Make an interesting shape = Make a cool ending first and work backwards = Find a cool combination of actions to theme around #WishlistWednesday #indie #game #indiegame #steam #switch #xbox store.steampowered.com/app/318840/T...

9 days until @tempopogame.com comes out and I'm reminiscing on all the times we've shown our game but this is BY FAR my favourite: My extended family were in the country so we gathered at my cousin's house to eat my Ma's food (incl. pav!) and play... my game 🥺😭💜

Tempopo releases in 🔟 days, and to celebrate, @moonspod.com has put together one of our absolute favorite tunes in the Melody Garden—let us know if you recognize it! 🎶 💜

I doodled this when the tempopo demo was out but the upcoming release date got me to finish it. It’s out in like nine days!

🎶 I'm gonna keep on dancin' at the... 🩷 🐴 🤠 🎶 The Melody Garden lets you compose music, set the tempo, the scale, and different instruments based on the season, so we're using its powers to share some of our favorite songs. What song do you want to hear next?
