Monthly Challenge June 2025
The rules in June? Simple: There are no quests. If you want to keep your game going, you better invest in those perfect placements! ๐
The Monthly Challenge for June is Perfectionism!
Hands measure the sky, perfection builds out of rules โ no star out of place.
Rules sketch every dream, perfection hums in the lines โ stillness sharp as stone.
Rails have been turned off, but rivers still flow free and will foil even your best laid-out plans.
Make sure to give it a spin, and join our Discord Server to chat with fellow high-score chasers!
Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration 2025
Check out the Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration 2025! The event takes place on Steam this weekend.
Toukana is part of it with our first game Dorfromantik & our new title Star Birds which we develop in collaboration with kurzgesagt.
๐ณ Dorfromantik
Dorfromantik is a peaceful building strategy and puzzle game where you create a beautiful and ever-growing village landscape by placing tiles. Explore a variety of colorful biomes, discover and unlock new tiles and complete quests to fill your world with life!
๐ Star Birds
Star Birds is a relaxing asteroid base-building and resource management game. Discover and mine countless asteroids, create production networks and guide your flock of spacefaring birds to new interstellar horizons! Stay tuned for the Star Birds Demo coming in June โฆ
Enjoy a lot of great games and discounts from May 29 until June 02! Thanks to rokaplay for organizing the Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration! โ
Dorfromantik Expands to Further Consoles and Mobile!
Weโve got some incredibly exciting news to share: After many months of planning, itโs finally happening โ Dorfromantik is officially making its way to PlayStation, Xbox, and Smartphones! ๐
Major Community Wish: More Platforms
The desire in the community grew louder every day. You wrote to us on our socials, on Discord and here on Steam: You want to play Dorfromantik outside in the hammock and cozily on the couch.
Finally, we have found a good solution to make this major community wish come true. The ink on the contracts is dry, and weโre thrilled to announce that development is now underway to bring Dorfromantik to even more platforms.
Partnerships With Headup and ClockStone
It was clear to us that we didn't just want to port a basic version for the phone, but rather enhance the potential for mobile with its own customized adaptation. As the majority of our development team is currently working on Star Birds, we have been looking for the right partners who share our ambitious vision.
We are therefore pleased to announce that we have found this partnership in Headup Games and ClockStone Studio, who will help to implement and publish our vision of the mobile version. The Headup Games team is also already working on the Xbox and Playstation port of Dorfromantik. We would be delighted if this could lead to long-term collaboration with thriving follow-up projects.
Toukana Interactive: We Stay Indie
This milestone means a lot to us. Dorfromantik is more than just a game โ it's the foundation that allows us to now pursue even more ambitious projects, like Star Birds, without relying on external publishers or investors. The success of Dorfromantik empowers us to work more independently, make our own creative decisions, and shape our future as a studio on our own terms.
The industry partnerships allows us to expand Dorfromantik to new platforms without slowing down development on Star Birds โ a balance weโre proud to maintain.
We canโt wait to share more details with you soon. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you โ as always โ for being part of this journey with us. If you have any questions (and we assume there are a few), feel free to ask them in the comments. ๐
Monthly Challenge May 2025
As you know, every month equals a new Monthly Challenge in Dorfromantik. This month, every quest tile has a flag on it, so you have the chance to build and plan for incredible point combos! ๐
The Monthly Challenge for May is Flag Mania!
A flag on green hills, points where laughter meets the breeze โ the world feels awake.
Flag stitched in my palm, points to the place dreams begin โ I breathe and I stay.
Will you build the biggest group ever with heaps of flags and close it off to cash in huge amounts of points? Beat the Flag Mania highscore! Try it out and post your scores!
Of course you can always join our Discord as well to exchange tips and strategies with other players!
Monthly Challenge April 2025
In April, we keep things simple after the horror that is Transport Frenzy in March. ๐โโ๏ธ
The Monthly Challenge for April is Extended Quick Mode!
Quick steps through the day, A breath, a pause, calm in rushโ Peace in fleeting play.
In stillness, we find, A quiet mind amidst speed, Small breaks soothe the soul.
Play an extended version of Dorfromantikโs Quick Mode, with a total of 150 placeable tiles. How much will you be able to get out of those 150 tiles?
Share your highscores and tips with the community on our Discord!
Monthly Challenge March 2025
In March, transport is booming! ๐
Red flag for trains? Not this month. We've taken away the flags and shoveled away the coal.
The Monthly Challenge for March is Transport Frenzy!
Trains hum, rivers flow, endless paths of rushing streamsโ we drift, never still.
Tracks and currents guide, our journey shaped by motion, time carries us on.
Transport Frenzy has you navigate through loads of rails and rivers, and we all know how quickly the tide can turn against you ... Can you untangle the mess?
Don't forget you can always join our Discord as well to exchange tips and strategies with other players!
Monthly Challenge February 2025
How much can you get out of just a little bit? ๐ค
Short session length meets maximum tile efficiency. For the shortest month of the year, we present you the shortest Monthly Challenge.
The Monthly Challenge for February is Bite-Sized!
A short, cheerful bite, crisp and fresh, a pause in timeโ bright moments revive.
In small joys, we find light and ease to lift the day, lifeโs simplest delight.
This month, stack economics don't matter. You have the challenge of getting the highest possible score with a teensy tiny play area, though. 37 tiles only. Will you be able to maximize every single tile placement?
Monthly Challenge January 2025
Happy 2025, everyone! ๐
We hope you had a perfect start to the new year. With a perfect training plan for the gym or the perfect cheese crust on your fondue bread. Depending on your preference.
The Monthly Challenge for January is Perfect Idyll!
Perfection takes form, not in what the world can seeโ felt within, it glows.
No force shapes the peace; idylls bloom in hearts alone, unique, unrestrained.
Keep your streak alive for as long as possible with perfect tiles. (We thought it might be more fun without those pesky boats and trains, though.)
Join our Discord and become part of our Toukana Community and chat with fellow highscore hunters!
The season's upon us!
