GN Version 5.0


Spheroids, the whacky platformer from Eclipse Games, is being released on the Nintendo Switch on July the 20th in America and one week later, on July the 27th, in Europe and Australia.

Do you remember Pang! (or Buster Bros.) from the old arcade days? We certainly have fond memories from those days and that game. Didn't you ever wished someone mixed that game with proper platforming mechanics? No? Odd, we do! We probably should say we did, since we decided to take the matter into our own hands and build a game with that premise. The result: Spheroids.

In Spheroids you take control of Lucas, a jumpy Canadian boy who sets out on an adventure with his crazy scientist companion Otto after it's discovered that the government has been hiding alternative universes from the cubic world they live in. Unfortunately, these alternative universes contain spheres that wish to turn everything round, so it's up to Lucas to save the world from these dangerous aliens: the Spheroids!

The game is already available on PC (Steam), Nintendo Wii U, PS4 and PSVita (cross-buy) and Xbox One and Win10 (Xbox Play Anywhere). Now the game gets released on Nintendo Switch too, on July the 20th in America and on July the 27th in Europe and Australia.

Features:

Platformer with unique gameplay mechanics
Story mode comprising of 32 levels in 8 different locations
Great variety of enemies and gadgets to use against them
Unique art-style that mixes pixel art with vector graphics
Original soundtrack adapted to the 8 different locations in the game
