A music-themed platformer. Symphonia stars Philemon, a violinist traversing a musical world, assembling an orchestra to stop the silence the land is falling into.
Symphonia is a platformer tasking us with saving a musical world. It was developed by an indie studio Sunny Peak and published by Headup Publishing.
Symphonia is set in a fantasy world, powered and made alive through the power of music. When its founders and its orchestra vanish, the world falls silent. We play as a violinist Philemon, heading out on a journey to gather a new orchestra and restore life to the collapsing world.
Symphonia is a side-scroller. The players must traverse diverse, colorful, atmospheric stages. On our way, we must jump across platforms, avoid traps and obstacles. Our violin comes in handy during exploration and activating musical machinery, restoring life and energy to the world. Along the way we'll meet numerous NPCs, many of which are great musicians; it's up to us to convince them to join our orchestra.
Symphonia features colorful, cartoonish graphics. One of the game's greatest strengths is its soundtrack, composed by Olivier Esman and performed by the Scoring Orchestra of Paris.

Nindie Spotlight: 8.3 / 10 by Justin Nation
A musically-themed and thoroughly gorgeous precision platforming adventure that’s also deliciously challenging
LadiesGamers.com: by James Luff
Symphonia is a stunning debut from Sunny Peak that breathes fresh life into the platforming genre. Its gorgeous hand-drawn art, enchanting music, and unique non-violent gameplay make it a standout title. While its precision-focused mechanics might not appeal to everyone, it offers enough accessibility options and charm to win over most players. The challenge didn’t always click for me, verging a little too close to frustrating at times. But for fans of artistic platformers or those looking for something fresh and innovative, Symphonia is well worth picking up.
TheReviewGeek: 8 / 10 by Greg Wheeler
Symphonia is a pretty straightforward precision platformer. Its short length is really the only big drawback here as the rest of the game is an absolute delight to play through. The orchestral soundtrack is excellent, the visuals look great, and the levels designed in such a meticulous and imaginative way that you’ll find yourself having heaps of fun with this – even in the challenging sections where you’ll die repeatedly.
