 Starting out in a cellar |  Move objects via telekinesis |
|---|---|
 Checkpoint |  Throw objects into the seesaw |
 Outside |  Fight back enemies using heavy rocks |
 Make your way through the caverns |  Build a tower to move a barrier |
 Use the seesaw again |  Finish! |
MAMBO is an atmospheric 2D puzzle platformer in which the player has to use their telekinesis powers to progress through the level and defeat enemies.
Each puzzle can be solved in multiple ways. Use your wit and dexterity to reach the goal in the upper right corner.
The detailed artwork and immersive sound design make for a magical experience. Checkpoints that can be activated multiple times reduce frustration.
