Pipistrello And The Cursed Yoyo

Description

The top-down 2D platformer Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo(TM) sees its brave protagonist navigating a dense, bustling urban landscape using - what else? - his trusty yoyo. As Pippit masters new tricks, each more electrifying than the last, new areas of the game's massive map begin to open up, revealing juicy secrets along the way. It's a kinetic and lively take on the Metroidvania subgenre, one that demands a kinetic and lively soundtrack to match. Pipistrello maestros Leonardo Lima and Henrique Lorenzi rose to the occasion, and what's more, one of gaming's greatest icons, the legendary Yoko Shimomura, lent her timeless talents to the game's music with the magnificent baroque track "Pipistrello Manor." The result? Haughty digitized harpsichords blend with fresh, funky drum beats to create a oh-so-delicious smoothie of sounds. iam8bit is proud to partner with our friends at Pocket Trap(TM) and PM Studios(TM) to bring it to you, on wax. For the album cover, iam8bit's best friend Ollie Hoff created a stunning design with artwork by Rodrigo Zangelmi and Hendric Sueitt, in keeping with the game's vibrant and catchy style.
