yesterday we believed we had fixed a rare issue some users had encountered involving block Tempopo getting stuck in place, but after releasing the new build, we discovered the underlying cause. We believe it is now (really) fixed!

We hope you're enjoying Tempopo! We've made a small update to fix a few things we've noticed since launch.

Fixes

• fixed a vibration issue on Linux/Steam Deck
• improved timing logic in Melody Garden to prevent double columns being triggered
• switching seasons while playing music in Hana's Garden will no longer cause UI to appear
• fixed issue where dragging instructions or flowers from the dock very quickly could cause unexpected behaviour
• improved handling of resolution changing in the event that the game exits before the new resolution is confirmed

Its time, its time! Tempopo is out now on Steam! [previewyoutube=w1mkkTm6IDQ;full][/previewyoutube] Tempopo is a delightful and chaotic puzzle game, where youll instruct the Tempopo in how best to collect musical flowers to rebuild Hanas lost garden. Itll take you through four seasons of puzzles, collecting five different types of flowers, and youll have to avoid enemies like Chompers and Spike Bushes to solve these island puzzles and rescue the flowers. Hana will supervise and offer hints if you want them, and once you collect all the flowers within a season, lay them out in her garden, and shell conduct a tune for you. You can pick between Puzzle Mode, where youll have to figure out what instruction to give as well as where to place it, and Adventure Mode, which helps you out by letting you know which squares are viable spots (this is great for younger players too!) And of course, thats not allweve also created a Melody Garden where you can compose your own tunes, (or recreate your favourites!), additional Challenge Levels for those puzzle fiends among you, and even a Creative Mode, where you can choose any number of instructions to give your Tempopo to solve a level. If you lose track of which Tempopo is which, remember that you can give them accessories in the Options menu!
Tempopo is a real labor of love for the Witch Beam team, and weve been working at it for quite some time (thats how it ended up as a cameo in Unpacking!)
Were so glad that its out in the world now, and you can experience everything it has to offer. We love it very much. As were a small studio, we appreciate all the love you can share, so if you feel inspired:

• Spread the word to your friends, family, and favorite streamers
• Leave a review
• Share the news on social media

(of course, theres no obligation there! We appreciate you regardless!) And please, if you compose a tune in the Melody Garden, please tag us on social media (Bluesky, TikTok and Twitter) as wed love to see it! But now well leave you to itgo and play Tempopo! Cheers, Emily and the Witch Beam team

Hello Tempeople! Were currently in the home stretch right now, as Tempopo releases inLESS THAN A WEEK! .and we cant wait to hear what you think of it when it comes out. In terms of official details, well be launching on April 17th at 16:00 GMT and if youre wondering what that means for you, weve made a handy-dandy graphic!
If you had a chance to play the demo during Next Fest, youve got a lot to look forward to (and if you didnt, you have even more!)

• 60 total levels, across four seasons, which get progressively trickier as you play on!
• 60 additional Challenge Levels once you complete the gameand theyre so hard that even I havent made it past the first one (complimentary)
• Got a younger player, or looking for some guard rails? You can play in Adventure Mode, where the solution squares are highlighted, letting you concentrate on putting the right instructions in the right spots.
• if you don't want any guard rails at all, you can turn on Creative Mode, where all instructions can be placed anywhere! This chaotic game mode favours players looking to find their own solutions without any help what so ever.
• Beautiful music to solve puzzles by, as well as the opportunity to create your own music!

We've also been sharing more songs from the Melody Garden, so here are a few to tide you over for the next week when you can make music of your own!

There's one thing in Tempopo that we've been keeping up our sleeves, but couldn't wait any longer to give you a look at: the Melody Garden!
Unlocked once you complete the first season, Spring, it gives you the opportunity to compose music using any of the musical flowers that you'll collect throughout the game. Choose the type of scale (diatonic or chromatic*), set the tempo, choose the notes, and you can even mute flowers as you're playing it through if you want to set up a chorus or repeating melody. And of course, pick the season that you like the most - the instruments will shift slightly based on that as well!
Take a look at how it works - we've set it up to what we hope is a familiar tune to some, Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club! [previewyoutube=n7z9ammNSbY;full][/previewyoutube] What songs should we try next? Which ones are you most excited to make in the Melody Garden? Cheers, Emily and the Witch Beam team *A diatonic scale is what most people think of as a scale - C, D, E, F, etc. A chromatic scale will go up only by semitones, so C, C#, D, D#, E, etc etc.
