- 250509 Update - 9 May 2025
We hope you’re enjoying Tempopo! With this update have a new feature to share with you: Hint Assist Mode! If you've enjoyed the hints that Hana can give you, turn this mode on and she’ll always show you the next spot to place instructions, to help you keep puzzling to rescue those musical flowers.

- 250420 update - 20 April 2025
Yesterday we believed we had fixed a rare game logic issue some users had encountered (Block Tempopo could get stuck in place, Uplift Tempopo lifting duration could be halved, Tempopo could turn invisible, and sounds could play at the wrong time), but after releasing the new build, we discovered the underlying cause. We believe it is now (really) fixed!

Fixes fixed a vibration issue on Linux/Steam Deck improved timing logic in Melody Garden to prevent double columns being triggered switching seasons while playing music in Hana's Garden will no longer cause UI to appear fixed issue where dragging instructions or flowers from the dock very quickly could cause unexpected behaviour improved handling of resolution changing in the event that the game exits before the new resolution is confirmed

- Tempopo is out now! 🌷 - 17 April 2025
It’s time, it’s time! Tempopo is out now on Steam! Tempopo is a delightful and chaotic puzzle game, where you’ll instruct the Tempopo in how best to collect musical flowers to rebuild Hana’s lost garden. It’ll take you through four seasons of puzzles, collecting five different types of flowers, and you’ll have to avoid enemies like Chompers and Spike Bushes to solve these island puzzles and rescue the flowers. Hana will supervise and offer hints if you want them, and once you collect all the flowers within a season, lay them out in her garden, and she’ll conduct a tune for you. You can pick between Puzzle Mode, where you’ll have to figure out what instruction to give as well as where to place it, and Adventure Mode, which helps you out by letting you know which squares are viable spots (this is great for younger players too!) And of course, that’s not all—we’ve also created a Melody Gar…
- Tempopo is coming out in ONE WEEK - 11 April 2025
Hello Tempeople! We’re currently in the home stretch right now, as Tempopo releases in…LESS THAN A WEEK! ….and we can’t wait to hear what you think of it when it comes out. In terms of official details, we’ll be launching on April 17th at 16:00 GMT and if you’re wondering what that means for you, we’ve made a handy-dandy graphic! If you had a chance to play the demo during Next Fest, you’ve got a lot to look forward to (and if you didn’t, you have even more!) 60 total levels, across four seasons, which get progressively trickier as you play on! 60 additional Challenge Levels once you complete the game—and they’re so hard that even I haven’t made it past the first one (complimentary) Got a younger player, or looking for some guard rails? You can play in Adventure Mode, where the solution squares are highlighted, letting you concentrate on putting the right instructions in the right spots…
- The Melody Garden - a new way to make music in Tempopo! - 2 April 2025
There's one thing in Tempopo that we've been keeping up our sleeves, but couldn't wait any longer to give you a look at: the Melody Garden! Unlocked once you complete the first season, Spring, it gives you the opportunity to compose music using any of the musical flowers that you'll collect throughout the game. Choose the type of scale (diatonic or chromatic*), set the tempo, choose the notes, and you can even mute flowers as you're playing it through if you want to set up a chorus or repeating melody. And of course, pick the season that you like the most - the instruments will shift slightly based on that as well! Take a look at how it works - we've set it up to what we hope is a familiar tune to some, Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club! What songs should we try next? Which ones are you most excited to make in the Melody Garden? Cheers, Emily and the Witch Beam team *A diatonic scale is wh…
