Tied Together - A crazy new co-op platformer is coming to Nintendo Switch™

This game will strengthen yours and your friends' ties!

07 August 2018 Following the recent launch of RunbowHeadup Games tied themselves together with Napalmtree and announce the next crazy party game for Nintendo Switch™: Tied Together! Played cooperatively with up to four players, the game brings hours of screaming and yelling!

The colorful platformer thrusts players --Tied Together by a tiny chain by the way-- into several tricky, cooperative, experimental set-ups which only scientists could possibly come up with. In these environments, your skills of cooperating efficiently will be tested to the max as you overcome various obstacles, balance passages and deadly surfaces like spikes or lava. Not only will your skills be tested here, but also the strength of your friendship…


About Tied Together
 
One fine day a bunch of scientists created four tiny monsters. But for what? To test their cooperation skills of course! So they tied them together into a tiny monstrous chain and let them make their way through colorful, tricky, experimental set-ups which only scientists are able to come up with.

Complaining that the plot is as flat as 2D? Bullseye! You are right. The truth is: YOU are the monsters and WE are the scientists. Get tied to your friends and we will test your creativity and your ability to cooperate with each other! Think your friendship will stand this test too ?…

Single players don’t even stand a chance to handle the monsters' challenges. Also, it's a lot more fun to play with friends instead of playing alone, right? As a team you have to coordinate your movements, jumps and cling to the ground and walls in order to complete the levels and stay alive. It's not as easy as it sounds, but all the funnier! Every time your monstrous cooperative skills are not enough it will end in great chaos – and great laughter.

Make the world a better place!

''The Inner World'' and ''The Last Wind Monk'' will open players' hearts on Nintendo Switch™ today

04 August 2018 The adventures The Inner World and its successor The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk will be released on Nintendo Switch™. After the initial success on other platforms, the beloved hero Robert, together with his friends Laura and Peck the pigeon, will embark on two journeys across the enchanting world of Asposia either of which you shouldn't miss.

In times of social and political turmoil - with questionable leaders and religious fanatics as well as negative thinking in general - the Inner World series might just be able to provide a positive point of view on these matters. Despite their fun and innocent surface, both The Inner World and The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk subtly address topics which resemble real processes disturbingly well.

But hey, listen, they are also great and fun games! This becomes clear if you take a look at all the awards and praise both games received for their earlier releases from the games press. From The Last Wind Monk receiving a Metacritic rating of 79 on PC as well as The Inner World winning the award for "Best German Game" (among other awards), these games are bound to be very enjoyable.

Two adventure masterpieces coming to Nintendo Switch™ on August 3rd!

Enjoy "The Inner World" and "The Last Wind Monk" on the go and discover the magical world of Asposia

01 August 2018
Holy flute nose!

The Inner World and its successor The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk are coming to Nintendo Switch™ on August 3rd!

But what to expect from the game? And who the Peck is Robert? And who is Peck BTW?
Just check out the new Features & Robert Trailer to learn more about it:

 

On August 3rd, owners of Nintendo's portable console can finally accompany our beloved hero Robert and his friends on his two journeys across the enchanting world of Asposia.

Both games --below their very fun and innocent surface-- focus on serious topics like fascism, racism and fanatic politics, or question ruthless religious leaders. In times like ours, it seems fitting to play more games like these. So, perhaps The Inner World can make the world a better place - at least a bit!

 
If you haven't watched the previous trailers, you can find them here: 
  

The list of awards and nominations is quite long for both The Inner World as well as The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk:

Its successor, The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk, continued this trend, receiving the "Best Indie Game" Award at the German Developers Awards 2017 and four nominations alone at the German Computer Games Awards - besides many game critics ratings between 80 to 90%. Continuously and ever since, the game has built up a huge fan base among gamers worldwide.
