The top-down 2D platformer Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo™ sees its plucky protagonist navigating a dense and lively urban landscape with the aid of — what else? — his trusty yoyo. As Pippit masters new tricks, each one more electric than the last, new areas of the game’s massive map start to open up, unveiling juicy secrets along the way.

It’s a kinetic, lively approach to the Metroidvania sub-genre, one that demands a kinetic, lively soundtrack to match. Pipistrello maestros Leonardo Lima and Henrique Lorenzi delivered on that notion, and what’s more, one of gaming’s great icons, the legendary Yoko Shimomura, contributed her timeless talents to the game’s score with the baroquely beautiful track “Pipistrello Manor.”

The result? Haughty digitized harpsichords blend with funky and fresh drum beats to create a smoothie of oh-so-delicious sounds. iam8bit is proud to partner with their friends at Pocket Trap™ and PM Studios™ to bring it to you, on wax.

This is the Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo 2xLP! Its two discs, pressed on Pippit Blue and Madame Magenta, are packed with the very best of Pipistrello’s soundtrack. For the album art, iam8bit bestie Ollie Hoff put together a killer design featuring illustrations from Rodrigo Zangelmi and Hendric Sueitt, fitting for the game’s vibrant, eye-catching style.

Grab your yoyo and get ready to hit the streets: The Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo 2xLP has arrived!
