Unleash Your Inner Musician with Kalimba™
Kalimba™ by Flashbulb ApS is a delightful and user-friendly app that makes playing the kalimba accessible to everyone, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player.
** BAFTA-nominated ‘Best New Property’ 2015 **
Explore the captivating world of Kalimba, a puzzle-platforming adventure that has earned critical acclaim and recognition from the prestigious BAFTA awards.
The once thriving island of Kalimba has been engulfed in darkness by an evil shaman. Your mission is to guide your totems from the underworld to the heavens, restoring light and positive energy to the land. Hoebear, a wise Metabear, will serve as your spiritual guide throughout this remarkable journey. Rebuilding the totem pole is crucial to reviving the vibrancy of Kalimba.
In Kalimba, you control two beautifully colored totem pole pieces simultaneously – one on the top half and one on the bottom half of the screen. Navigate through treacherous terrain, avoiding perilous pitfalls, spikey traps, and menacing enemies. Each move must be carefully coordinated between the two totems, as they move in perfect unison. Leap over chasms with one totem while the other avoids danger, showcasing the mind-bending puzzles that await.

Rock Paper Shotgun
