Press release:
TOKYO — October 1, 2024.
The ‘Tokyo-based (Japan) indie games publisher Phoenixx Inc. and indie games developer Zounoashi Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that their crumbly precision platformer “The Strongest TOFU”, is now available for PC via Steam with a 10%-off sale for $4.49 until Tuesday, October 15th at 10:00 AM PST.

Celebrate Japan’s Tofu Day by hopping from the proverbial frying pan into the fire with the winner of Bandai Namco’s 2022 GYAAR Studio Indie Game Contest Choose from firm, silken, or freeze-dried, each with its distinct strengths and weaknesses, and bounce into an action-packed, tofu-filled adventure created by a real Tofu Meister.

Squish and spring in any direction to attack enemies, clear massive gaps, and solve puzzles across various zany maps where the threat of being cooked, eaten, and crumbled into oblivion looms around every corner. Conquer The Strongest TOFU’s unique jiggle physics with an easy-to-learn, difficult-to-master control scheme and satisfying haptic feedback with every jump. Remember, tofu is delicate, and falling from great heights can cause a cataclysmic crumbling.

Bounce to the tunes of The Strongest TOFU’s original soundtrack composed by Ryo Nagamatsu of RH Music (Splatoon series Composer). Enjoy key artwork from Hattori-Graphics, one of Japan’s top 100 Graphic Designers of 2024, featuring their signature low-res aesthetic.
