We hope you’re enjoying Tempopo! With this update have a new feature to share with you: Hint Assist Mode! If you've enjoyed the hints that Hana can give you, turn this mode on and she’ll always show you the next spot to place instructions, to help you keep puzzling to rescue those musical flowers.
This is particularly helpful for younger players, but you might find yourself needing to turn it on in some of the Winter or Challenge levels as well!
We've managed to squash a few tiny bugs as well, here's the full list of patch notes for you!
FEATURE

Added Hint Assist Mode that automatically shows the next hint after placing an instruction
BUG FIXES

Melody Garden flowers will no longer occasionally play their notes out of sync with the column highlighting
Gallery images won't behave strangely in fullscreen mode if only one image was unlocked

Tempopo is a delightful and chaotic puzzle game, where you’ll instruct the Tempopo in how best to collect musical flowers to rebuild Hana’s lost garden. It’ll take you through four seasons of puzzles, collecting five different types of flowers, and you’ll have to avoid enemies like Chompers and Spike Bushes to solve these island puzzles and rescue the flowers. Hana will supervise and offer hints if you want them, and once you collect all the flowers within a season, lay them out in her garden, and she’ll conduct a tune for you.
You can pick between Puzzle Mode, where you’ll have to figure out what instruction to give as well as where to place it, and Adventure Mode, which helps you out by letting you know which squares are viable spots (this is great for younger players too!)
And of course, that’s not all—we’ve also created a Melody Garden where you can compose your own tunes, (or recreate your favourites!), additional Challenge Levels for those puzzle fiends among you, and even a Creative Mode, where you can choose any number of instructions to give your Tempopo to solve a level. If you lose track of which Tempopo is which, remember that you can give them accessories in the Options menu!
Tempopo is a real labor of love for the Witch Beam team, and we’ve been working at it for quite some time (that’s how it ended up as a cameo in Unpacking!)
We’re so glad that it’s out in the world now, and you can experience everything it has to offer. We love it very much.
As we’re a small studio, we appreciate all the love you can share, so if you feel inspired:

Spread the word to your friends, family, and favorite streamers
Leave a review
Share the news on social media
(of course, there’s no obligation there! We appreciate you regardless!)
And please, if you compose a tune in the Melody Garden, please tag us on social media (Bluesky, TikTok and Twitter) as we’d love to see it!
But now we’ll leave you to it—go and play Tempopo!
Cheers,
Emily and the Witch Beam team

Tempopo is coming out in ONE WEEK
Hello Tempeople! We’re currently in the home stretch right now, as Tempopo releases in…LESS THAN A WEEK! ….and we can’t wait to hear what you think of it when it comes out. In terms of official details, we’ll be launching on April 17th at 16:00 GMT and if you’re wondering what th
Hello Tempeople!
We’re currently in the home stretch right now, as Tempopo releases in…LESS THAN A WEEK!
….and we can’t wait to hear what you think of it when it comes out. In terms of official details, we’ll be launching on April 17th at 16:00 GMT and if you’re wondering what that means for you, we’ve made a handy-dandy graphic!
If you had a chance to play the demo during Next Fest, you’ve got a lot to look forward to (and if you didn’t, you have even more!)

60 total levels, across four seasons, which get progressively trickier as you play on!
60 additional Challenge Levels once you complete the game—and they’re so hard that even I haven’t made it past the first one (complimentary)
Got a younger player, or looking for some guard rails? You can play in Adventure Mode, where the solution squares are highlighted, letting you concentrate on putting the right instructions in the right spots.
if you don't want any guard rails at all, you can turn on Creative Mode, where all instructions can be placed anywhere! This chaotic game mode favours players looking to find their own solutions without any help what so ever.
Beautiful music to solve puzzles by, as well as the opportunity to create your own music!
We've also been sharing more songs from the Melody Garden, so here are a few to tide you over for the next week when you can make music of your own!

(and here's a palate cleanser for that ;)

See you all next week!
