In Tempo, the titular grasshopper character Tempo and his friend, Katy, star on The Major Minor Show as they climb the top of the tower to defeat King Dirge.
Gameplayedit
The stages are presented as performances on a musical variety show like Soul Train. The game uses hand-drawn graphics for the backgrounds and sprites.
Receptionedit
On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the game a 30 out of 40.[1] Though they commented on the lack of originality in the gameplay, GamePro concluded that Tempo's "dazzling" background graphics, rich soundtrack, and extremely low difficulty make it "a perfect game for novices."[2]
Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "none of [its] good qualities keep Tempo from missing the beat and being yet another poor 32X effort."[4]
Four reviewers for the Japanese Sega Saturn Magazine gave it scores of 6, 4, 6 and 7, for an average of 6.25.[5]
In a retrospective review, IGN gave the game seven out of ten.[6]
Sequelsedit
In part because it was released on the failed 32X add-on, it failed to find an audience.[citation needed] Sega tried again with two more games: a spinoff titled Tempo Jr. in 1995 for the Game Gear, and a sequel titled Super Tempo in 1998 for the Sega Saturn.[7]
