Players will have to guide Ziggs through a 2D space, where you’ll need to time your jumps to hit floating shapes. These act as beats, which come together to form the title’s soundtrack. As you explore Piltover, levels will change and you’ll be introduced to some head-nodding new tunes.

That’s not all, however, as players will be tasked with taking down some of Heimerdinger’s monstrous creations using their newfound musical talents.
