The creators of the FUZE4 Nintendo Switch coding app have compiled a collection of over 20 homebrewed titles, launching this week on the eShop for a mere 89p. Fast Food Dizzy is amongst them, coded by The Oliver Twins themselves during lockdown.
“Oh, and don’t be put off by the low price, as many of these games are worth far more than the selling price alone!†claims the press release.
Predictably for the time of year, it’s a bit of an odd week for new releases. Board game adaptation Wingspan is one of the few to get the review treatment (tweetment?), gaining 3/5 from The Gamer and top marks (5/5) from Digitally Downloaded. “The game plays beautifully whether you’re playing docked or in handheld mode, and has online and local multiplayer options, with an AI alternative if you can’t get a game going. The AI is robust in the decisions that it makes, and you’ll certainly find that victory isn’t a guarantee,†said DD.
Hell Sports comes from Tokyo-based outfit Neilo Inc, being a 2-on-2 online battler complete with mobile cross-play. A trailer can be found here, giving a good idea of what to expect – the product description is mighty vague.
The colourful Cube Raiders appears to be a spiritual successor to Devil Dice/Bombastic/Rox, meanwhile, featuring over 150 dice-based puzzles for two players to co-operatively solve.
Then there’s The Innsmouth Case, a text-based adventure inspired by H.P. Lovecraft. The PC version gained a 7/10 from TSA earlier this year. “As a distraction from commutes (or a companion to lengthy visits to the toilet) The Innsmouth Case is a great little tale that will entertain fans of either cosmic or comic horror,†they said.
As always, the full line-up of new releases can be found below.
