Dive into Kalimba™
** BAFTA-nominated ‘Best New Property’ 2015 **
Jump, slide and fly your way through a beautiful, mind-bending world in this award-winning, puzzle-platforming adventure.
The island of Kalimba has been cast into darkness by an evil shaman. Your totems must journey from the underworld to the heavens in order to restore light to the land. Thankfully, Hoebear the vaguely bear-shaped Metabear will be your spirit guide in this quest. Rebuild the totem pole to bring back the positive vibes to Kalimba.
In Kalimba, you play two coloured totem pole pieces simultaneously – one on the top half, and one on the bottom half of the screen. Avoid dark pits, deadly spikes and roaming enemies, but remember the totems move together. One totem jumps over a hole, the other jumps into spikes; one soars into the sky while the other tumbles into the abyss.

Intense, difficult, mind-blowing game with extraordinary puzzle design. As a person who works in the game industry, we can’t recommend Kalimba enough! Also, 6 stars for the sound!!
As of today it continues to crash and we cant get through the 3rd level of the totem pole, we get through the portal then it goes to our home screen after we talk to the bear and we have to restart the game, please update and fix this issue, re-downloading does nothing. Btw it is on Xbox one and has two player capability, very addictive game if you like a puzzling challenges Game on Gamers.
A delight through and through! Has all the features that you’d want from a great game plus more. And this coming from a huge platform game enthusiast. On top of that we don’t think we’ve ever played a game in Co-op like this. Us and our friend were constantly either laughing or yelling instructions at each other. Fantastic experience. Highly recommended.
We’ve gotten mad at this game couple times but all around we have fun when we finally beat the level we felt accomplished but not like finally it’s over accomplished.
Its a great game. Cant imagine a game could be this much fun. This is a must have game for couples. We highly recommend this game.
That was a joke we really enjoy playing your game. We’re sorry if we caused you any trouble.
Really fun game! Incredibly frustrating at times, but that just adds to the fun!
We finished the first level getting all 70 with no deaths and the second totem has not poped up on top of the other one like it should. We have completed the level multiple times now thinking it might be something we did, although nothing happened.
Fun spin on a platformer! Challenging but not too frustrating, with some unusual and imaginative features.
AWESOME GAME VERY INTERESTING : )
At level 3 when you go into the triangle, the bear talks to you about the crystals then when you go past him the game crashes. But besides that we love this game it’s challenging and fun we suggest you buy this game it’s worth the money.
We hate platformers, but we love this game. Great visuals, audio, and controls. Very clever game! Update: Developers, there’s a big crash in the third level inside that black triangle where the bear is hanging out (bouncy room). It’s crashed the game every single time. Please fix this. We’re on an iPhone 7 with the latest operating system. We wanted to contact you in another way, but it seems Facebook is the only way and we don’t and won’t have Facebook. We’ll return to five stars once crash is fixed.
We like the game. This sounds ridiculous but after we complete level one we don’t know how to get to level 2. After tapping the play button level 1 starts again. Thanks for helping:
Great so far except the game crashes on the level 3 bouncy room area. We’ve tried everything, but it crashes there every time.
We guess this game is abandonware now. Ever since the 1.2 update over a year ago, this game reliably crashes EVERY time we enter the portal in level 3. Happens on multiple devices, on iOS 10 and 11 (havent tried older), and judging by other reviews, Im not the only one affected. If they havent addressed a hard crash in what is basically still a tutorial level after a year, it seems pretty sure theyre never coming back. Sure, this portal area isnt crucial to completing the game, but if the devs dont care about the game, why should I?
Played through on Xbox One. One of our favorite puzzle games ever made. Style, graphics, music are all excellent. Happy to have it to go. Now if we can get it on the Switch- I’d be a happy camper.
A beautiful game that marries the best elements of the platforming genre with puzzle-solving elements. The difficulty curve is perfect for us and we think many of you might find the same — difficult… But not too difficult to make you want to throw down your device in despair. Worth every penny and then some.
Great platformer concept. Unfortunately their effort to simulate a gamepad using a touchscreen doesn’t work well. It is difficult to switch between buttons on a touchscreen without looking at them when you can’t feel where one button ends and another begins.
