What is Waltz and Jam?
Waltz and Jamis a 3D indie platformer set in the afterlife.
Everything from the main duo to the monsters has an inviting design.
The game features a variety of different levels and interesting puzzles for you to overcome.
Story
The story ofWaltz and Jamis rather simple.
There to greet him is the mysterious dog-like creature Jam.
The two go to meet Low, another strange creature that is supposed to have a ticket for Waltz.
Sadly, Low has misplaced this item and tasks the duo with going to find it.
There are seven areas in the game, each with its own unique story.
By venturing through each of them, you will get every piece of your ticket together.
The journey is stated to be adorable, so it likely won’t lean into any horror themes.
Gameplay
The gameplay is whereWaltz and Jamtruly shine.
The game has you play as Waltz but use Jam to solve various puzzles.
You will need to move from area to area, and there are plenty of places to take damage.
Likewise, if you find an enemy and it hits you, you take damage.
The first few enemies are easy to defeat as they stun themselves shortly after appearing.
All you have to do from there is have Waltz jump on them, and they will be defeated.
You will quickly obtain your first item, a sword.
There are also plenty of obstacles to keep you busy.
You will need to jump over incoming bullets and use Jam to solve puzzles.
Most of the time, this involves simple things like having Jam become a rope.
He is also able to push objects to make progress easier.
Developer
Waltz and Jamis developed by Flyway Games, Inc. a small indie studio.
Previously, the studio has created Trinity Survivors, a roguelike action game with a two-player cooperative co-op.
While this is quite different in gameplay style, the game did receive mostly positive reviews.
The developer themselves has been rather quiet around the game, outside of the announcement and dropping a demo.
In the trailer on Steam, you could see Waltz and Jam making their way through several different areas.
Their previous game also didn’t make it off of PC.
The game does work with any punch in of controller that can be connected to your PC.
