It was released in Japan in 1997 and internationally by [[Sony Computer Entertainment]] the following year. The game centers on the eponymous [[feral child]] as he attempts to recover his grandfather's bracelet from an evil race of [[anthropomorphic]] pigs. Creator [[Tokuro Fujiwara]] developed ''Tomba!'' after leaving [[Capcom]] in 1995, founding Whoopee Camp as director, producer and lead designer. He chose the game's 2D [[Side-scrolling video game|side-scrolling]] perspective for the format's straightforward nature, and created a [[Nonlinear gameplay|non-linear]] "[[Quest (video games)|event]]" system to differentiate the game from other platforming titles. ''Tomba!'' was received positively by critics, with praise for its controls, visuals, and varied gameplay objectives. However, the game's audio received a more mixed reception. Despite the game's lackluster commercial performance, it was followed by a sequel in 1999, ''[[Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return]]''. ''Tomba!'' maintained a [[cult following]] years after its debut, and was re-released on the [[PlayStation Network]] in 2011. [[Limited Run Games]] released an enhanced version for the [[Nintendo Switch]], [[PlayStation 5]] and [[Windows]] in 2024, with a [[PlayStation 4]] version releasing in the future.
