EDIT: originally I said no because the version released was an earlier demo. This has since changed. The proper game is now available on Steam, thank goodness!

Tembo's quite an interesting game, it's kind of like a weird mix of Kirby (sans the power absorb gimmick) and Sonic. Tembo can dash, jump and generally deal destruction with his arsenal to trunk.

It's a little difficult, the game shares similarities with James Turner's previous project HarmoKnight in that it retains gated parts of the map, where you have to have defeated so many of PHANTOM's forces per level before you continue, this can be fustrating for some players, but also acts as a reinforcement to go back and replay levels. The nice thing is lives (or peanut butter jars) are easy to stock up. So when you do hit a difficult part, the game gives you a fair shake at things.

The game tries to change things up per level, while still encouraging players to speed though while also figuring out puzzle aspects. the nice thing is most of these puzzles encourage some platforming, or plain ol' smashing stuff. It rarely slows the pace down.
