Publisher Hyper Real has revealed Telebbit, an intriguing 2D platformer that utilises teleportation as its main gameplay hook.
Launching on the Switch eShop on 24th October 2024 and developed by IKINAGAMES, it's currently giving off heavy Celeste vibes, albeit with a more cyberpunk-esque aesthetic with a hefty dollop of attitude. Heck, it looks like it's even got bits of fruit floating around the stages that require collection.
The general gist of the story is that you take on the role of a rabbit who, after a series of painful tests and expermentation, gets mistakenly implanted with a high-performance CPU. Now boasting heightened intelligence, it embarks on a quest of revenge against the humans. Sounds awesome, to be honest.
Let's check out the key features:
-Speedy platformer with unique teleportation mechanics
-Test your perseverance, effort and imagination with highly challenging stages
-Eight charming underground worlds to explore and wreak havoc in
-Clean and minimalist pixel art punctuated by striking, lurid colors
-Speedrun mode available for time attack play
Telebbit isn't available for pre-order via the eShop just yet, but we can't imagine it'll be too long until its price is confirmed. For now, we're excited to see more as we get closer to its 24th October release date.

Definitely inspired by Celeste, but with its own gameplay, thematic etc. twists so I'm absolutely keeping my eye on it!
Looks like a Speccy game! Borderline colour clash everywhere. That opening image even looked like a loading screen! Will keep an eye on this. That music was nice and meaty.
A younger me might of liked this, but the older me does not have the reaction speed needed for this I think.
This is right up my alley.
Looks like an interesting precision jumping platformer. If it's lenient on mistakes and retries, I might give it a go. Love the dark aura around the story
My old brain can't process teleporting sprites - but the art style and color palette are bangin.'
@GrailUK I was thinking of Spectrum too. Primary colors against black.
Aie aie aie ... I don't even understand what's going on in this trailer XD ... Probably not for me!
But still amazed at how creative our developers get 😋
“Highly challenging stages” in the description nixes it for me.
Also, I would hesitate to compare to Celeste. This game looks like others I’ve played where there is one room/screen after another—challenging, fun yes, but lacking overall narrative continuity.
I will always remember the 5000+ times I died in Celeste, not only because it was hard, but also because I had to finish the story.
This looks good and seems original. I'm not sure if I'll play it but it looks intriguing.
Looks nauseating. I don't even think I'd have liked this as a kid and I don't think my distaste for it comes from my aging eyes/brain. I like fast but this looks like it will p!ss me off.
