Tumbles

Tumbles is a challenging climbing game in which you guide Tumbles, a newly hatched caterpillar, from the rainforest floor toward the canopy. Its poetic story follows a struggle from darkness in search of freedom and light, and is inspired by overcoming PTSD.

Climb through the rainforest

You launch Tumbles with a catapult-like motion, bouncing off walls and flowers, riding the wind, sliding across wet leaves and avoiding obstacles. Higher layers of the canopy bring harder jumps, boss caterpillars, birds and other challenges. Each jump can bring you closer to the light or lead to a larger fall.

Evolve and develop

When you choose to build a cocoon, the chance of an evolution affecting your next caterpillar increases. Evolutions can change Tumbles’ colour or give it traits such as a bouncier body or tunnel vision, which may help or hinder your next climb.

You collect Lychees to develop skills along four pathways or pay off boss caterpillars to use their shortcuts, if they have not already been scared away. Restarting is part of the game: you can try again after a fall, pursue different evolutions or pathways, and work to beat your fastest time while unlocking achievements.

Play together

You can attempt to beat each other’s best attempts or cheer Tumbles on. Assist modes can be applied at any time during a climb.
