Waltz and Jam is an upcoming top-down puzzle action-adventure from Flyway Games, published by Krafton. Having revealed the game earlier this summer, players now have a chance to check out what the hand-drawn game has to offer with a new animated gameplay trailer that provides the most immersive look yet at its world, characters, and, most importantly, its gameplay.
Blending lush hand-drawn animation with previously unreleased gameplay footage, the new trailer showcases the game’s striking, comic-inspired visual style and grimly whimsical atmosphere. But what I’m really here for is the bond between the game’s two heroes: Waltz and Jam. Really, this is a game about an adorable ghost boy and his loyal spirit puppy.
