History
Tempest Tower has been in production since January 2024. The game will be released via Early Access as Half Past Yellow's first self-published title in the first half of 2025. Tempest Tower aims to bring the much-loved game feel and bouncy animation style found in Time on Frog Island to a completely new genre.
After Half Past Yellow's struggles to find a publisher for their First-Person Puzzler, Spectacle, they decided to make a radical shift in direction. The studio directed their resources to a totally new project that they could self-publish in a reasonable time frame. Half Past Yellow have focused in on what they do best, a genre mash-up with a charming art style and great game feel.
