Our take on TY the Tasmanian Tiger
Rather than using a generic fantasy setting, this platformer builds its adventure around Australian wildlife, Outback environments, and boomerang-based combat. Its central structure also ties level progression to collecting five Talismans and opening a portal to the Dreaming.
What is TY the Tasmanian Tiger?
TY the Tasmanian Tiger is a remastered 3D platformer set across 17 levels in the Australian Outback.
TY searches for five ancient Talismans to open a portal to the Dreaming and free his family, while facing Boss Cass and his henchmen. The game combines exploration and platforming with attacks from sharp teeth and a collection of 13 boomerangs, including the Frostyrang, Flamerang, and Doomerang. Friends assist TY during the quest.
