They didn't provide a detailed reasoning, but our case is that it will get players to learn about the legends, tales, myths and entities that we studied to create the game and its characters. Most of this content is not taught enough at regular school, hopefully the game opens a door there :)

Por isso acreditamos no Talaka como um recurso de ensino, além de ser um jogo: acreditamos fortemente que os jogadores aprenderão sobre mitos, lendas, entidades, fauna e flora ao jogá-lo.

Nos vemos lá!

Isso nos deixa muito felizes: somos um estúdio de brasileiros, criando um jogo sobre a cultura brasileira. É um grande desafio, já que o Brasil é imenso e possui tantas facetas culturais que ninguém pode afirmar conhecer todas.

[PTBR] Talaka estará disponível para jogar neste sábado no Estúdio Periférico, um espaço cultural no Campo Limpo, São Paulo, como parte do LAB LUPA. O jogo foi selecionado como uma obra de valor educacional e será exibido das 14h às 15h30!

We are so happy: we are a studio of brazilians, creating a game about brazilian culture. It's a tall ask, given that Brazil is has so many cultural facets - we don't know it all. We see Talaka as a teching asset: players will learn about myths, entities, and culture by playing it

[PT-BR Below!] Talaka will be playable this Saturday at the Peripheral Studio, a cultural venue in Campo limpo, São Paulo, Brazil. The game has been selected as a game with educational value and will be showcasing from 2PM to 3:30PM. (thread) #talaka #indiedev #cultura #indiegame

Talaka's animations are created frame by frame, handmade style. It's a LOT OF WORK, but the results are SO worth it 🤌 #indiegame #indiedev #gameart #talaka #animation #roguelike

[GDC 2026] Hands-On: “Talaka” represents Brazilian folklore in both approachable and hardcore ways Last week I set up an appointment with Brazil Games to see four fun-looking titles being made by Brazilian developers, and while they all had some neat aspects, Talaka stood out to me the most.

"Talaka‘s controls were tight and really responsive, and everything just felt fluid and natural." This is music to our ears! <3 So much work put into that! Thank you for the write up Danreb! #indiegame #talaka #roguelike

Good point, it's a good idea to compare with a title with such a broader audience like Mario as opposed to other action-focsed hardcore-ish titles. Thanks and Cheers!

Does this look too hard? or does it look good for a mid-game boss fight? (Beware: lotsa placeholder art) #indiegame #games #platformer #talaka #playacclaim

"Talaka is, without exception, my favorite game I played at GDC. Talaka is a combat roguelike that takes place in a world where gods, ancient realms, and myths all coexist. (...) It already is so much fun and it has an addictive gameplay loop I am still thinking about, even days later."
