To help combat this there’s a coalition for unity who believe everyone should be equal, and in the impending disaster the inhabitants learn the value of this the hard way.

But living a life quite separate from everyone else is a monkey.

In a secret hideout somewhere in the world’s market district is the scrounger and fighter, Koru who ekes out a life by stealing bananas.

But when Koru finds himself in a bind and the purple colour spirit comes along asking for help, he has no choice to follow along and play a part in the calamity that’s about to strike.

Let’s just say the purple spirit isn’t as good willed as Koru is lead to believe and a wave of bleakness splashes over the land turning the reds, blues, and greens of the world into a paralyzing shade of grey.

It’s a world slowly losing its colour and Koru must find the other colour spirits and unlock his power as a Tinker to pull everyone together.

But what is a Tinker? It’s a question he’ll have to find the answer to as the game goes on.

The Last Tinkeris a simple game that combines a unique idea, a colourful aesthetic, and deep story which lift it up from the norm and place it in the extraordinary.

When there’s something interesting going on it makes players feel engaged in the experience. It makes us want to learn more, to explore, and to see into the deeper meanings of the game.

While The Last Tinker may look like a kids game, it has something to say about racial tensions and accepting the different colours – i.e. personalities and people – you will meet out there in the world. It’s a game with a message of acceptance and love rather than having nothing to say whatsoever like so many other games out there.
