Description
Comedic and filled with character and cats, A Purrtato Tail places the player in the paws of Queen Pixel - leader of the potato cats. Whiskered whispers speak about a race of mysterious bioluminescent creatures whom thrive in the dark, appearing across the Isle of Moar. The existence of the Nightshades proves to be real when they burst forth from the shadows, igniting their secret plan by kidnapping Queen Pixel's most trusted adviser - the Elderstar. The Queen of Purrtatoes must now venture into the world, navigating treacherous pits by collecting characters, connecting them together to form bridges and ledges. She must solve puzzles within the world itself by utilizing the unique abilities of each character, fight Nightshades with her sharpened claws, and discover the foul secret of the Nightshades' dark plan.
History
A Purrtato Tail was first envisioned in early 2016 as a stage-based puzzle game. After initial playtesting, we quickly found adding a playable character to interact with the gamepieces made the title that much more fun, and opened the doors to turn it into a Metroidvania. Over two years in the making, A Purrtato Tail is now an exciting and anticipated product that combines action, adventure, exploration, collecting and a JRPG inspired story.
