Stardew Valley

Here’s the latest trailer for Stardew Valley, showcasing the multiplayer update (coming soon to Nintendo Switch):

Desert Child

Earlier this week, Desert Child was announced for the Nintendo Switch. Here’s all you need to know about it:

You’re broke, you’re hungry, and your only friends are a vintage hoverbike and a bowl of ramen noodles.

 

In Desert Child, you are a young and talented hoverbike racer who needs to figure out how you can scrape enough cash together through racing and odd jobs to punch your one way ticket to the Red Planet to enter the biggest race in the universe, the Grand Prix.

 

The world as we know it is slowly starting to become inhabitable, and many people on Earth have moved to Mars for a better quality of life, thanks to a government subsidy that assisted in relocating citizens by providing affordable passage. After several years of running this program, the government announces that in two weeks, tickets to Mars would go up in price, making the exodus to the Red Planet unobtainable for regular citizens.

 

You’ll deliver pizzas, collect gun parts, hunt bounties, and make some fans along the way. In between races, you’ll explore colorful cities where you can repair and upgrade your bike, dine on the local cuisine, and fight your way through gangsters, bounty hunters, and all sorts of interesting characters, just so that you can have a decent meal and pay rent.

 

Nothing’s free in Desert Child.

  • Hunt bounties, deliver pizzas, throw races – do anything you can to earn cash
  • Explore a pixel-art solar system inspired by Cowboy Bebop, Akira and Redline
  • Customize your beloved bike with Guns, Amplifiers and tasteless bumper stickers
  • Dine on a range of interplanetary cuisine with sweet buffs to help you win
  • Master deep combat and racing mechanics and define your own style
  • Race, shoot, and get better! Designed for replayability, with secrets that keep you coming back
  • Chill to a original 90’s inspired soundtrack
  • Challenge your friends through local cooperative multiplayer gameplay

Desert Child (Switch – eShop) comes out later this year in Europe and North America. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!

Dead Cells

Here’s the pre-order trailer for Dead Cells:

Dead Cells (Switch – eShop) comes out on August 7th worldwide.

Piczle Colours

Earlier this week, Score Studios announced Piczle Colours, a brand new game releasing in Q4 2018 worldwide. Here’s all you need to know about it:

From Score Studios, who brought you the hit logic-puzzle series Piczle Lines DX, comes the highly anticipated follow-up! Piczle Colors will excercise your brain in exciting new ways with a unique logic-puzzle style, a fun story, a bucketload of extras and the return of your favourite characters!

 

Piczle Colors isn’t your typical grid-based color logic-puzzle! Like other puzzles of this type, hints next to each row and above each column tell you how many blocks of each color go in each row or column. By following these hints you can paint each part of the grid and reveal an image. However, these hints do NOT tell you the order they come in!

 

Smaller puzzles ease you into this new way of thinking. You can work your way through 6 levels with 50 puzzles each, ranging in size from 5×5 to 15×10. Each puzzle lets you start with a randomly cleared row and column if you need a helping hand, but clearing puzzles without using hints earns you coins, which you can use to unlock Piczle Colors’ many cool extra features!

 

Inventive genius professor Matrix has created a paint, Piczle Paint 3000, that can leech the color out of anything it covers. Needless to say his inventions, including this one, are not safe in the hands of Score-chan. Can you help her and Gig undo the great chaos created by her inevitable mishandling of Piczle Paint 3000? Also there is Dbug the cat who is naturally more concerned with cat matters.

  • Score-chan: Entitled android girl Score-chan is not only Score Studios’ mascot, she is also the cause of all the mischief the prof’s inventions wreak.
  • Gig: Long suffering Gig, shaped vaguely like Score Studios’ logo, not only lost his mascot status to Score-chan, he is often tasked with helping her fix her mess.
  • Prof. matrix: Genius inventor professor Molecule Matrix creates the most wondrous things only for Score-chan to mishandle them and cause chaos.
  • Dbug: Dbug is a cat.

Piczle Colours (Switch – eShop) comes out in Q4 2018. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!
