Taimumari

About

Taimumari is a retro-inspired platformer where you control Himari, a young wizard tasked with mending fractured timelines across fantastical eras. The game blends side-scrolling jumps, environmental puzzles, and a loose narrative about restoring balance to the floating world of Zaria. Each level feels like a self-contained adventure with shifting visual themes, from lush forests to crumbling ruins, all rendered in a pixelated style reminiscent of classic 16-bit games. Gameplay focuses on precise movement and experimentation, with scattered clues hinting at a larger mystery involving lost timekeepers and a corrupted crystal. What catches attention is the game's nostalgic charm and willingness to let players piece together its story through exploration. While combat is minimal, the emphasis on traversal and discovery creates a relaxed pace that appeals to casual players. Though released in 2015, its influences and design feel intentionally old-school, catering to those who miss the simplicity of early 2000s indie adventures. The lack of hand-holding might frustrate some, but the open-ended approach gives the impression of a world worth poking through.

Storyline

Somewhere in the sky, far away from the ground, another world floats - a fantasy world named Zaria. Citizens of Zaria had to watch the flow of time, but when the ancient crystal fell into the hands of evil, the flow of time was distorted. Kanashimi the High Keeperess sends young wizard Himari to the difficult quest of finding everyone guilty of destroying crystal. But why does not everyone bother about Zaria's origins, and what is this place all about? May you succeed in solving the mystery of this world. Go forth to various ages on your uneasy adventure to find the five keepers and to reclaim the power!
