Another Brazilian game for anyone who enjoys suffering in a platformer: Tom’s Last Adventure, from small studio Flying Frog Studios, is a 2D precision platformer in which you guide Tom, a celestial cat, through trap-filled levels to his new home.
How it works
The basic moveset is lean: running, a double jump and a quick dash. The twist comes from stars floating in the air, which change your options on the spot. The white star sets off a flash that reveals paths and platforms hidden in the dark; the blue one grants an extra mid-air jump; and the green one throws a small sphere that Tom teleports to when you press the button again or when it hits a surface. There are also mirrors that act as portals, for both the cat and the sphere, creating movement puzzles.
The studio warns that the difficulty curve is steep, the kind that has you repeating the same screen dozens of times, and estimates 2 to 6 hours to reach the end.
Where to play
The game came out on September 15 on Steam, for Windows and Linux, in English.
Disclosure: Flying Frog Studios sent SavePoint a key for the game. This article is not a review.
