Pelimanni 8bit

Pelimanni 8bit A retro Pelimanni adventure into the mythical North! There will be a new master!

Join young Friiti on his retro Pelimanni* adventure through the haunting sceneries of the north as he embarks on a journey to become a Master Pelimanni. On his way the brave fiddler encounters a number of talented but dangerous mentors from the mythological Näkki to the Devil himself, and the stakes are high: either play your best or you’re out of the game! Pelimanni 8bit is a platformer game that

takes you into the bygone world of folk stories and traditional fiddle music and wraps it up in a package that reminds you of the golden classics of early gaming consoles. Released by the Finnish Folk Music Institute and created by Jimmy Träskelin with 8 bit score by Antti Janka-Murros, Pelimanni 8bit is an entertaining and impressive piece of fantasy with a deep foundation in historical folk tradition and lore. (*Pelimanni: Finnish word for a person who has acquired a skill in playing traditional folk music, usually learned by ear from other pelimannis)
Features:
* Eight unique levels filled with creatures and phenomenons from Finnish folk mythology
* Eight Pelimanni bosses to beat on your way to become a Master Pelimanni
* Traditional platformer controls
* Beautiful retro graphics
* 8-bit score and sound effects programmed with retro hardware

Friiti turns 4 this summer!

Friiti-pelimanni täyttää tänä kesänä 4 vuotta! Kansanmusiikki-instituutin julkaisema Pelimanni 8bit -peli ilmestyi kesällä 2017. Pelin suunnitteli ja toteutti Jimmy Träskelin, ja sen kansanmusiikintäyteisen soundtrackin teki Antti Janka-Murros. Pelin voi ladata ilmaiseksi iOS-laitteille App Storesta ja Android-laitteille Google Play -kaupasta!

Juhlan kunniaksi kuullaan VirtuaaliKaustisen Radio Kaustisessa tänään klo 17 myös pelistä kertova radiohaastattelu, jossa tekijät pääsevät ääneen. Ohjelma on taltioitu vuosi sitten.

It only took a year for Friiti to get on the back stage of Tavastia!

Have you met these friendly guys who live in the clouds? We need a name for them to put in an upcoming Pelimanni 8bit guidebook! Do you have a name to suggest?

These guys have been behaving a bit strangely. Their only job is to break music boxes, but lately they have refused to do so. In the latest Pelimanni 8bit update, however, they agreed to play their part again. So get the update and break those boxes! 😁
