IDEA announced for Nintendo Switch
IDEA is a unique game about discovering and sharing developed by TLR Games, and it’s coming to Nintendo Switch in the future. Unfortunately, no release date or even window was provided, so we’ll have to wait a little bit longer before finding out when inspiration will strike Nintendo Switch owners!
In the mean time, here’s a trailer for the game:
Players intrigued by the game can now download a demo version from the Nintendo eShop. As of writing, the demo is only available in Europe, but keep an eye on the demo page to see when it’s release in other regions!
And next, here’s some details and plenty of screenshots for the game:
It’s time for the world to learn about your IDEA.
From the co-creators of The Longest Road on Earth comes IDEA, an art game about wonder, discovery, and sharing.
Send your ideas, represented by a white lightbulb, out to explore the world. Watch them from a bird’s eye view as they roll and fall, bouncing around gorgeous landscapes recorded in 4K resolution by award-winning filmmaker Olli Huttunen, with no loading times between screens.
Your idea will get stuck every now and then – houses, guardrails, or even trees can become a barrier. But twice per screen, you can help it out and clear its way, so it can keep advancing. Who knows where your idea may arrive…?
Sometimes, your idea will end its journey without reaching its destination – but it can help other people’s ideas in the future, or even yourself. Write a thought, a piece of a song, a verse — and share it. Now is out there, forever, for all the world to see.
And when you begin a new journey, you’ll see other people’s ideas. Save your favorite ones, and see how many people have saved yours. Enjoy this journey accompanied by a charming, soothing original soundtrack, in this game inspired by the award-winning short film IDEA, by Olli Huttunen.

- Twice per screen, when your lightbulb is stuck you can push it away from an obstacle, so it can continue its journey
- Share your ideas: if your lightbulb doesn’t reach the end of the screen, you’ll be able to leave a message that other players will see when they pass near the that spot
- Save your favorite ideas, and see how many people have saved yours
- Getting Steam achievements will unlock new icons for you to use in your messages
- If your lightbulb is still moving when the music ends, it reaches its destination, unlocking pieces of visual arts for your gallery
