2D Platformer Switch Announced
New Delhi, India - February 7, in the year of our Lord 2017 -
Independent games developer Threye Interactive today announced
Switch, a brand new touching puzzle platformer, to be released
on Steam for PC on March 7th and on Microsoft Xbox One later
this Spring, where players embody the letter ‘i’, on an
adventure to redeem lost friendship. Featuring over 70
challenging levels that span across five visually soothing
worlds, Switch is a 2D puzzle platforming game with a
heartwarming narrative, that mixes classic platform mechanics
with a nimble ‘switching’ twist. Leisurely paced, challenging,
and addictively fun, Switch will keep players’ palms sweaty and
thumbs fatigued.
“In times when people immerse themselves in social media rather
than nurturing real relationships, it’s inevitable every now and
then to feel lonely and out of touch. With this in mind, we
wanted to create a narrative led platformer, that modern players
could emotionally connect to. We finally concluded - is it not
me, myself and I that every person best identifies with?”, said
Bharat Nag from Threye Interactive. “The core game mechanic of
switching between a small ‘i’ and a capital “I” perfectly
illustrates how the self-centered character abandoned by his
friends transforms into a loving and all encompassing version of
himself”.
In Switch players “switch” across traps and obstacles, speedrun
through gruelling situations, and test their reflexes with
unique environmental interactions. Following known 2D
platforming mechanics such as jumping, wall jumping and
shooting, Switch introduces a unique ‘switching’ mechanic which
not only affects the platforms in several ways but also grants a
double jump, which leads to situations demanding interesting
choices to be made within split seconds. The game employs a
beautiful, minimalist 2D art style which is further enriched by
a soundtrack that emboldens a sense of excitement and fun
throughout the game’s challenging levels.
