Fans of download games on DS and 3DS that also love a gameplay twist or puzzling challenge may be familiar with Goodbye Galaxy Games, which recently brought Tappingo to the eShop. We certainly appreciated its charms, awarding it 7/10 in our review.
The good news is that Hugo Smits, the man behind the studio, has been in touch to confirm that Tappingo 2 will arrive on the 3DS eShop this summer. Details, screenshots and footage are being held back for the coming weeks, but it has been confirmed that there'll be over 100 puzzles and a zoom mode to help with larger puzzles. We may not have too long to wait, either, as it arrives this Summer.
Goodbye Galaxy Games is certainly busy right now, having recently been approved as a Nintendo publisher and also revealing its 3DS game prototype creation tool, Gomba. Check back this weekend for an extensive interview covering those topics.
Have you picked up the original Tappingo on 3DS, and are you pleased to hear that a sequel's on the way?

Love this game. If I could make a small request: please leave out the circus music. The music in the 1st one was good and puts you in the mood for puzzling fun but, one of the tracks was some kooky circus song. Please not again... please.
Nice!
The original really needed a zoom function.
@Gen0neD I promise.. no more circus music in Tappingo 2
I thought the first Tappingo was a pretty neat time waster, but had lots of room for improvement. The zoom feature is a good start, but an "undo" button, more varied puzzles (rather than animal faces, food or the odd retro console which took up the majority of the original) and songs that don't make me look like a weirdo in public (circus music, as Gen0neD puts it) could make this something special.
@HugoSmits You rock sir!
I really like the first Tappingo !
Bought it on sale mainly thanks to that trailer on the Nintendo Youtube Channel.
I REALLY REALLY hope you guys can get a level editor and QR codes for sharing levels like in Pushmo/Crashmo, so I can download some neat fanmade video games sprites puzzles. I mainly want it for pokemon or even megaman sprites
@HugoSmits YES! i hope it will be as cheap as the first one. the eshop needs more 1-3€ games.
oh and please try to make a lvl editor someday. that's one of the best features puzzle games like tappingo can have!
@6ch6ris6 I plan on keeping it 2,99
@HugoSmits Nice can't wait! Tappingo was very high quality I'm sure part 2 will be good as well
Hey, Hugo, give me time to beat the first one!
awesome game, someone suggested it, if you like picross, you'll LOVE this!! and I DO, this IS AWEESOOMMMM I WILL be buying the next one I would like to see it in 3d sometime too though... YES Level EDITOR AND Online Swap PLEASE
I haven't even finished the first one yet.
Tappingo is the only Hugo Smits game that I liked, so far! It's not edge of the seat, but its a nice variation on Picross alright.
So maybe, maybe I'll also download the sequel (if the price is right).
I loved it. This is great news.
But then again, I also loved the soundtrack, so what do I know.
i loved tappingo! What annoys me are the menu navigation... every time i start the game i have to manually find the last puzzle i have done, and it do not accept d-pad inputs. :/ (sorry the bad english)
@Philip_J_Reed The soundtrack was good sir. Save for the aforementioned big top clown track.
Please note: I "suffer" from coulrophobia. So anything remotely tied to those $&°|¥«'s upsets me.
I personally really liked the first game, but I found many of the puzzles not to be quite as challenging as I anticipated.
The first one was a very fun timewaster.
It felt a lot fresher than Picross e2 and e3 to me. Partly because of having multiple nice music tracks.
However i do agree with @candymonster that the menu navigation could've been better and like so many others i've also fantasized about a level editor. I'll still get it without that though.
@candymonster ugh yeah i had that problem too
I'll buy it. I like the first one. It was a bit easy, but it's different from other puzzle and that made it fun.
I wish we could listen to our own music off SD while playing. It was supposed to be possible, but I don't think a single game actually allows us to on 3DS.
Cool. a certain pick up for me
Cool. Love the first one so far. Just got to the big Puzzles and I do agree Zoom is needed.
@iphys Good God sir, yes. I've since given up on that dream. 100% agreed though.
Great news, first game rocks.
May I make a suggestion/request @HugoSmits?
I'm not sure how many others feel this way, but could we have puzzles locked and unlock as we progress?
I mean it's neat being able to jump to puzzle 99 and solve it right away...but on the other hand, everything unlocked sort of kills that satisfaction of progression or that feeling you are making headway through the game.
@IrateGamer very well, your wish will be granted!
@IrateGamer @HugoSmits but what if I want a choice? Maybe add an option for that. All puzzle games should have an option for that TBH.
