Indie Platformer Toree Saturn Revealed by Siactro, Building on the Success of Toree 3D Series Siactro, the independent developer behind the charming Toree 3D series, has officially announced Toree Saturn—the next installment in its popular low-poly platformer franchise.

Revealed through a first-look showcase, Toree Saturn continues the studio’s tradition of fast-paced, vibrant platforming adventures, delighting both long-time fans and newcomers to the series.

Toree Saturn follows the formula laid down by its predecessors, Toree 3D and Toree Saturn, challenging players to guide an endearing chick—complete with signature sunglasses—through a series of colorful and imaginative levels.

The new title ups the ante with the introduction of fresh gameplay mechanics, including a dynamic homing attack and a ground dash, designed to enhance movement and offer players new strategies for speed and precision.

Siactro has made an early demo version of Toree Saturn available for PC, allowing fans to get hands-on with the updated moveset and experience the gameplay evolution firsthand.

"We wanted to expand on the fun, accessible platforming of the earlier Toree games while adding just enough new tricks to keep things fresh," the developer shared in a public statement.

The nostalgia is further amplified by a new original soundtrack, featuring contributions from returning composer The Red Panda and the acclaimed Hyper Potions.

The main theme, already garnering positive attention online, is described as a ‘true nostalgic hit’ and is available to stream in full via YouTube.

This spirited collaboration ensures that Toree Saturn will continue the series' tradition of memorable, energetic audio design.

While Toree Saturn is confirmed for a 2024 release, availability on Nintendo Switch is yet to be officially announced.

However, with the earlier Toree titles having proven immensely popular on Nintendo's hybrid console and eShop, fans are optimistic about seeing another launch on the platform.

The simple controls, brisk level design, and pick-up-and-play nature of the Toree series have made it a standout among indie platformers for Switch users. Toree 3D and its sequel have carved out a niche with speedrunners and platforming enthusiasts, sparking challenges and community-driven runs across social media.

Siactro’s continued creative growth, coupled with support from composers The Red Panda and Hyper Potions, hints at another hit for the indie team.

Stay tuned for official platform announcements and further updates as Toree Saturn approaches its anticipated 2024 release date.
