Tunko is one of the arcade games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Arcade games are designed around the loop, and Tunko has a good one — short attempts, instant restarts and a score that begs to be beaten. From the tags you can already tell that it deliberately echoes classic arcade design; fruit is the theme — slicing, matching or collecting; it has retro pixel-art visuals.
About Tunko
Tunko is an engaging 2D platformer where your primary mission is to gather all the grapes scattered throughout the levels while cleverly sidestepping various threats. As you navigate through vibrant environments, you'll encounter cunning enemies, perilous spikes, and mechanized saws that all pose a challenge. To progress to the next level, your ultimate goal is to reach the red flag
Judged as a arcade game, Tunko hits the notes you would hope for: the "one more go" effect, a single, easy-to-read score and instant restarts. Under the surface it is a test of timing and rhythm, dressed up in quick presentation.

Tips and tricks
- Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
- Because this is a Fruits game, wait for fruit to cluster before you act.
