Press release:
The US-based indie games publisher Top Hat Studios and indie games developer Diet Zribi (which consists of two brothers, Gonen and Ori), are today very happy and excited to announce that their 2D platformer/top-down puzzler hybrid “Toodee and Topdee”, is coming to consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and the Xbox One) on June 7th, 2023.

A cosmic turbulence caused the 2D Platformer and the Top-Down Puzzler dimensions to merge: someone forgot to put a semi-colon into the code that controls the universe, and it’s caused all kinds of wacky mayhem to break out!

Toodee And Topdee is a unique, cross-genre hybrid combining the best of 2d Platforming and top-down adventure puzzle game mechanics. Originally envisaged as a challenge to combine two completely disparate genres, Toodee And Topdee has gone on to be critically acclaimed for its uniqueness, challenge, and sense of imagination and humor.

Originally developed by dietzribi, Toodee and Topdee is ported to PlayStation and Xbox and published on those platforms by Top Hat Studios, Inc.
