Back in December, Press Play and Microsoft released a puzzle-platformer entitled Kalimba. Previously known to gamers as Project Totem, Kalimba is a challenging downloadable title which features both single and local co-op gameplay. With its unique “trixelated” art style, players control a pair of synchronized totems to complete levels which contain puzzles, hazards, and sometimes bosses.
Tomorrow, the game receives a major content update which will be free to all existing and future players. Included in the update are two new game modes which are called Llama and Puma. In Llama mode, up to six players can take turns to compete in local speedruns in order to get the highest score. To achieve leaderboard dominance, players can race against ghosts of their friends or AI in Puma mode, which ships with approximately levels.
Also, releasing tomorrow are two DLC packs which will be free for current and new users till May 6. The first pack is entitled the “Dark Void” and it contains 10 single-player levels and a new game mechanic. The other pack is called “Co-Optimistic” and it features 10 co-op levels. After May 6, the DLC packs will cost $3.99 each or $5.99 for both.
Lastly, the PC version of Kalimba releases tomorrow on Steam for $9.99. The PC version will ship with the new content update and will support both keyboard and gamepad controls. The DLC packs will not be free but can be purchased for either $3.99 each or $5.99 as a bundle.
