Tail Concerto

Tail Concerto is a 3D platformer that tells the story of Waffle, a dog police officer who is unwittingly tasked with getting to the bottom of the evil plans of a cat named Fool.

Story

Welcome to Prairie (Prerir), a set of floating islands that are home to two races derived from our own cats and dogs. The dark past of Prairie tells us of the war that waged between the two, ultimately crowning the dogs who outnumbered the cats almost 3 to 1. The game starts fairly simply with our main protagonist, Waffle the dog police officer, waking up to the sound of the telephone. The Police chief has some dire news: Resaca, a nearby town, is currently being attacked by the black cats gang!

As his dreams of a day off fades away, Waffle embarks on what could be the adventure of a lifetime, encountering along the way some long lost friends and newfound enemies.

Gameplay

Most of the game will take place inside your mecha, an automated armor that Waffles uses to protect himself and enhance his abilities. The Suit allows for jumping and hanging, is equipped with a bubble cannon and will later be upgraded with a jetpack.

The main goal of Waffle throughout the game will be to catch the rebellious kittens with the help of his bubble cannon.

The controls are fairly simple, and are explained here:

D-Pad: Moves the character.

Square: Bubble Canon. Hold it to see the path of the capture bubble.

Cross: Jump. Tap repeatedly to start hovering.

Circle: Action Button.

L1/L2: Changing the viewpoint

When the Jet pack is equipped, press the cross button twice and hold to start flying, steering and changing the altitude with the d-pad.
