Meet the Bongo Cat in Turnbound
Turnbound enters a new chapter as its spirit cat receives a special Bongo Cat skin. The collaboration brings two beloved creations together and celebrates the sense of support that runs through the indie community. Anyone who enjoys playful characters, charming surprises, and cats in hats will find plenty to appreciate in this crossover.
The Turnbound team calls the partnership meaningful and surreal. Their mischievous spirit cat now appears inside Bongo Cat as an unlockable skin, a moment that feels especially rewarding for a studio that often relaxes in meowtiplayer during the workday. Watching their own character pop up in a game they admire, and dressing him in an almost unreasonable number of hats, adds to the fun. The crossover also reflects how indies lift one another up. The team points to Irox Games, whose cats and hats have reached The Berlin Apartment, Constance, and Cloudscraper. These titles have already made their way onto their wishlists.
Turnbound continues to grow as an asynchronous autobattler built around a strange board game that traps your soul. You fight other wandering spirits through strategic encounters, building smart combinations from a shifting inventory of mahjong-like tiles. Players often describe the experience as an inventory Tetris meeting Hearthstone Battlegrounds. It is a comparison that captures its mix of order, chaos, and experimentation.
If you enjoy unusual ideas and character-driven charm, the Steam demo offers a good place to start. Unlock the new skin, try a few battles, and share your impressions. The team at 1TK values every piece of feedback that helps shape the future of Turnbound, so make sure to provide some.
