Tombi is an excellent hybrid that combines elements of a 2D platform game with aspects of RPGs. Our heroic character can defeat his enemies in various ways: by jumping on them, throwing them, or using his weapon to stun them. As you progress in the game, Tombi gains experience that allows unlocking useful abilities, such as the fire shield or the double jump.
The game features a mission system. Upon completing them, Tombi receives Adventurer Points (AP), which can be used to open boxes containing useful items. Out of a total of 130 missions, only 70 are necessary to advance in the main story, while the remaining are optional side missions that, although not essential, contribute to the complete game experience.

Differences Between Tombi Versions
Although the essence of the Tombi game remains constant, there are notable differences between the Japanese, American, and European versions. These differences range from the introduction music to the game’s interface and menus. Aesthetic differences can also be noticed, such as the use of the exclamation mark in the name of Tomba in non-Japanese versions, or the variation of sound effects between the demo and the final version.
