Press release:
August 9, 2022.
The Tokyo-based (Japan) indie games publisher PLAYISM and Pavia-based (Italy) indie games developer Kibou Entertainment, are today very thrilled and happy to announce that their retro hardcore 2D action-platformer “Timothy and the Tower of Mu”, is now available for PC via Steam.
“Timothy and the Tower of Mu” takes you on a journey where you traverse over 5 biomes, each with their own challenge. Fight your way through 10 bosses, each more deadly than the last. Climb vines and jump on bouncy plants, avoid the lava, and watch out for the monsters.
Timothy’s grandfather has passed. But legends tell of a tower so high that it disappears above the clouds, built by a god. If someone manages to climb it to the top, a wish is granted. Join Timothy, armed with hope and courage, on a deadly quest to bring back his grandfather.
Timothy and the Tower of Mu has a Demo Version available on Steam for you to experience a sippet of the game.
Features:
10-hour campaign filled with secrets to uncover and five themed-dungeons.
NES-inspired retro graphics with detailed animations and varying environment/landscapes.
Classic action platformer mechanics – easy to learn but hard to master
RPG, puzzle, and cooking elements aimed to keep the experience fresh and varied
Engaging chiptune-style soundtrack
About Kibou Entertainment:

About PLAYISM
PLAYISM has, from the very beginning, been driven to deliver games to as many players as possible. They began by creating a platform from which they could distribute indie games. From there they started localizing into multiple languages to overcome borders and then expanding into Steam and Console platforms.
Their hope, is for all gamers to play as many indie games as they can.
