Tangle Tower, by the creators of Snipperclips, is coming to Switch and PC on Oct 22nd for $20 (already out on Apple Arcade)

how long is the game?

Click to shrink...

Maybe about 4 hours I'd say. Woke up at 3 and got through it by 6-7 AM playing straight through.

Really into the style. Seems pretty funny too.

Do you need to play the original to understand anything here?

Click to shrink...

No. There are some connections that make their way from the first to this but they aren't like fully followed upon.

Spoiler: Vague spoilers

Some characters in DG seem to be other family members not present in TT and that's about the long and short of it.

Both games are basically unconnected.

Finished it yesterday. Loved it. Took me about 5 hours.
I liked pretty much everything about this game. The visuals, the story, the voice acting, the music!

Cannot recommend this enough for fans of adventure games. The story is unconnected to the previous game.

I went back and played Detective Grimoire, and while the games are definitely similar in some of their mechanics, Tangle Tower is a lot more polished and just a better game I think. It's also two to three times as long. I would recommend the first game to people who want more Tangle Tower though.

Started this on Apple TV and continuing on iphone but save file syncing isn't working for me. FML.

How do I move between areas on touchscreen? I'm on the first screen but cannot progress, and there is no gui to even return to the title screen.

I don't mind the delay, gives me time to clear some other games in the meantime @o@
Just let me preorder please.

Friendly Reminder: SFB is short for Super Flash Bros. They're part of the Flash game and animation movement of the 2000s.
Seriously, go watch Decline of Video Gaming series.

Now that's a blast from the last. "Yay a green one" is still occasionally quoted by some friends.

 

[Giga Man]

Oh my god. The Snipperclips devs. The art style, the animation, the voice acting, the presentation. What is this masterful combination? I'm smiling and laughing and I don't know why. Why am I so excited?

 

[Menx64]

Wonder why they would go with a more American English, instead of British.


Also, any game already available on the apple arcade or any sub service, makes me less willing to pay full price. It looks nice, but I'd wait for a discount.

I have played about 3 hours or so. I'm enjoying it, but i must say not as much as i had hoped. I always feel like i have to ask every question to every person, whether it feels relevant or not, and although individual dialogue is used for every single thing, it does not really feel like "investigating", more like going through the motions.
I do like the bits where you formulate a statement from a number of possible nouns etc. More of that would have made the game feel more rewarding.

They still have my favorite personifications of game companies. Square and Capcom might have changed, but Mr. Konami's gotten worse over time.

Can anyone give any tips on the Treasure Map puzzle? I expected to find a tile with the three items in order in a straight compass direction.

 

[foxuzamaki]

I'm super ready for this

 

[Deleted member 10737]

perhaps the title should be updated to mention that it's coming on the 22nd, not the 10th.

Basically but it's more than three items if I recall correctly.

Spoiler

don't ignore the birds and other minor things like that

holy shit???? this looks rad??? Grimoire is lowkey cute?????

Yeah it took me 5 hours but that's because I was stuck on the "lens + key" puzzle for so long, otherwise it's a very good game.
After that ending, I want more of this IP, haha.

Thanks for tip! I noticed the X on the floor and the birds.

 

[kami_sama]

Just completed it!
Loved it, need more of the same asap!

 

[Deleted member 9035]

Awesome devs! Gotta support them!

 

[Corrupt]

Oh wow, I didn't know Detective Grimoire was getting a sequel, will nab this when it's on Steam.

 

[Stat]

Finished this on Apple arcade today. Reminded me a ton of Spy Fox from when I grew up.

It's an incredibly fun game with great voice acting. Really hope we get a sequel.

Also finished it today. Feels like there's supposed to be a secret ending but I don't see anything online about one. Is it confirmed there's no content beyond the standard ending?

 

[BaconHat]

Just finished it on the Switch version.
Loved it as much as the previous two, probably even more due to the really great art style used. Only thing i had a issues with is the ending which felt a bit abrupt.
Just a shame there's no after-credits scene like the last one, it would have been even better to know the devs were thinking of future plans for it, even if it takes years again.

 

[Khanimus]

I forgot this was out. Fuck.

 

[Tunahead]

Just finished it the other day. What a lovely, charming game. Good banter, great character designs, nice puzzles. I was particularly impressed by the game's restraint. Everything was there for a reason, and once all was said and done, the game ended. I was particularly dreading the moment when Flora would inevitably speak, and it never came. Tangle Tower cares not for your cliches. You can't know a person just because you talked to them three times. You're just there to solve murder puzzles. Everyone else has to sort their own lives out.

My subscription to apple arcade now is redeemed.

This game was a brilliant surprise. So polished and fun. Great for the whole family.
Does anybody know of a similar game to this? Where you kind of have to do an investigation, as opposed to being a straight up adventure game?
Something like this, Return of the Obra Dinn, or Her Story.

Would... I think it was called Trace Memory? count? It was on the DS though.

There was a puzzle where you had to partially close the DS to make the screens reflect off each other or something, that game blew my damn mind

How have I not stumbled across this yet? This really looks like it'll be my cup of tea.
