    • Movements

        • You can be inside 2 adjacent squares at the same time.
        • The tiles you are in are outlined in red.
      • If you are standing over a stack of same-colored blocks you can fall down many levels in a single move & do not have control over the descent.

        • You can jump across while you are falling to stop part way down.
    • Gravity switch
      • Some stages have one or more gravity switch in them which allows you to reverse gravity.
      • On some stages you have to use the gravity switches to reach remote parts of the level.

      • Each gravity switch can only be used once on a playthrough of a level.

      • If you get stuck press the level reset button to restart the level.
      • The game offers unlimited continues starting you at the beginning of the failed level.
  • Tips
    • Leave a way out
      • When you are making large falls all of the cells above you in the same column will change colors.
        • Be sure you have a horizontal path or another column to climb.
        • In some cases it can make sense to leave a square the opposing color to prevent long falls.
    • Narrow passages
      • If there is a narrow passage you will often need to have one of the two characters rest a row above or below the main passage, or have both characters pass each other in a blue square.
    • Mixed levels
      • Some stages have rather mixed tile colors which require a ton of backtracking.
      • One way to make the most out of mixed stages is to think of each character as existing to paint a path for the other character until you are able to paint wide swaths of the level.
    • Gravity switches
      • Try to complete as much of the level as you can before switching gravity, as you may not be able to get back to the current part of the level.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like path builder games.
    • We also offer 2 other games from this series: Tamachi Explosive Adventure & Tamachi Jump.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
