Steam review snapshots
Persistent looping tracks are very rare; most tracks kick in at certain triggers and play only once.Every area of the game is delightfully moody in slightly different ways thanks to subtle theme variations and color changes.When you have beaten all acts of a stage, it feels very rewarding to explore a new area.Tanglewood takes you back to the golden age of 2D platformers: the 16-bit era!Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by single-player.
