About this game
Tumbles is a deceptively cute rage game, where you take on life as the newly hatched caterpillar Tumbles.
Attempt the challenges of flinging yourself from the rainforest floor to the top of the canopy with a variety of challenges.
“A Foddian for the family”, in Tumbles, you can apply assist modes at any time during your climb.
Gather around and attempt to beat each other’s best attempts or cheer Tumbles on to his greatest heights.
Launch your caterpillar around using a catapult-like motion to bounce off walls and flowers, be pushed by the wind, slide across wet leaves and avoid obstacles.
As you reach higher into the canopy, you will face more difficult jumps, boss caterpillars, birds, and more to overcome as you sling yourself through the layers of the rainforest. Each jump could get you closer to the light or risk a tumble of even greater proportions.
Explore the poetic narrative of the struggles of reaching from the depths of darkness in search of freedom and light. Inspired by the struggles of overcoming PTSD.
Each time you choose to build your cocoon, there is an increasing chance of evolutions affecting your next caterpillar. Will you be a different colour, have a more bouncy body, or have tunnel vision? What combinations will you have, and will they help or hinder your next climb?
Collecting Lychees along the way can be used to develop your skills along 4 different pathways or pay off boss caterpillars to use their shortcuts… If you haven’t already scared them off.
Restarting is part of the game, whether trying again after a big tumble for different evolutions, a different pathway or trying to beat your fastest time, unlock beautifully crafted achievements.
P
In Tumbles, every climb can bring you further through the climb you have faced before or challenge you with a combination of evolutions and pathways. Will you make it out from the forest floor and into the light, or will this climb be cut short as another cocoon in the darkness?
Can you guide Tumbles to freedom?

Silk Soar Tumbles
Hey there Hatchlings! After an amazing 3 days at PAXAus, applying for grants and an unexpected hospital stay, we have now released the PAXAus demo with a renaming from Silk Soar to Tumbles. This demo has a few more fixes and the first few skills in the skill tree available to you. You will find the game by searching for Tumbles. Until it is changed on Steam's side, it may still show as Silk Soar in your Library for now. This will hopefully be our last major update for the Demo as we push towards release, depending on what funding we can achieve. If you have only downloaded the demo and not hit Wishlist on the main game, please do and tell your friends. The more wishlists we have, the better chance we have to get assistance. Thanks for your patience!Keep on Tumbling Tumbles & The TeamRead full article on Community Announcements (Stout Heart Games)AnnouncementsOfficial
