Precision platformer The Strongest TOFU hopped on Steam yesterday

The Strongest TOFU from developer Zounoashi Games and publisher Phoenixx Inc. launched on October 1 on PC via Steam. This action-packed precision platformer is released with a 10%-off sale for 4,49€ until Tuesday, October 15.

This is the one and only Tofu action game created by a real Tofu Meister. Cotton, silk, and koya – those are three types of tofu to choose from, made in 3D using the latest technology. In their endless journey they gradually soften, crumble, stew, and acquire bittern to become TOFU. Enjoy a game experience as simple as to-fu, with one-button operation for quick play.

Squish and spring in any direction to attack enemies, clear massive gaps, and solve puzzles across different maps where the threat of being cooked, eaten, and crumbled into oblivion looms around every corner. Learn The Strongest TOFU’s unique jiggle physics with an easy-to-learn, difficult-to-master control scheme and satisfying feedback with every jump. But remember: tofu is delicate, and falling from great heights can cause a cataclysmic crumbling.

Prepare for some intense physics mechanics in The Strongest TOFU, releasing in October!

Get ready to jump into the excitement with The Strongest TOFU, a thrilling action game fueled by soy milk, developed by Zounoashi Games and Phoenixx, launching on PC through Steam on Japan’s Tofu Day, Wednesday, October 2, 2024! Attendees at Tokyo Game Show will experience the tofu-filled commotion at the Phoenixx/GYAAR Studio booth in the Indie Game Corner from September 26 to 29.

What is the most potent form of TOFU?

In this unique action-platformer game, players can select from three different types of tofu: Momen (firm), Kinu (silken), and Koya (freeze-dried). Every piece of tofu offers distinct characteristics when served on the table. Momen tofu is firm, Kinu is silky but delicate, and Koya is resilient, able to withstand greater drops without fracturing. Utilize the unique qualities of your tofu and utilize the game’s erratic jiggle physics to progress through more challenging stages. Do not break apart – or land in a skillet – before diving into a steamy bowl of soup!

Selecting The Strongest TOFU is easy with a controls system that only requires a joystick and one button to use. Yet, becoming proficient in the skill of making tofu is quite challenging! You will require careful accuracy to maintain the integrity of your tofu while navigating maps filled with obstacles.

A Soundtrack You’ll Be Eager to Consume

What is tofu if not with the appropriate atmosphere? RH Music’s Ryo Nagamatsu composed the game’s soundtrack, enhancing each level with emotion and immersing players further into the delightful yet difficult tofu-filled world. The initial score will be released with the game as a complete digital soundtrack, allowing you to revisit the tofu journey whenever you want.

Delicious art made of tofu.

In terms of appearance, The Strongest TOFU catches the eye with distinctive artwork and logo created by Hattori-Graphics, a prominent graphic designer in Japan’s top 100 for 2024. His low-resolution yet sophisticated design effectively captures the simplicity and beauty of tofu, providing the game with a unique and unforgettable aesthetic.

A Game created by a Tofu Expert

The main developer, TomozoP, not only created a game but also committed to mastering the art of making tofu to ensure The Strongest TOFU is authentic. His cooking skills not only influenced the gameplay but also led the game to win its first award at GYAAR Studio’s Indie Game Contest in 2022.

What exactly is Tofu?

For those unfamiliar with it, tofu is a nourishing food derived from soybeans, valued for its ability to mimic meat and its long-standing history as a popular dietary staple. Tofu has the ability to turn into a variety of dishes based on the way it is cooked. Your hero is the main character in The Strongest TOFU.
