Garage Switch

VHS-era B movie game, Garage, reveals Switch gameplay trailer

If you like top-down shooters, VHS-era B-movies and the Switch, take a look at the latest gameplay trailer for Garage from studio Zombie Dynamics and tinyBuild:

Garage Switch Gameplay Trailer

You play as Butch, an ex-drug dealer who destroys zombies with axes and blasts the rest with assault rifles. Garage doesn’t take itself too seriously, then. There’s nothing wrong with that, although it’s clear that development is being taken earnestly:

“I announced Garage during tinyBuild’s HelloSwitch2 event, and we’ve been working like crazy with studio Zombie Dynamics to get the game done”. – Alex Nichiporchik.

In a nutshell, it’s a Resident Evil and Splatterpunk-inspired quirky shooter with a high difficulty and lots of blood. It’s due out on the Switch May 10th as an exclusive title – for now.

It reminds us of (no surprise), Mr. Shifty, and that’s a very good thing indeed. That game? A bit of a hidden gem if you ask me.

Robbotto

New indie game Robbotto is inspired by Bubble Bobble

Meet Robbotto, a freshly announced indie game. The even better news? It’s inspired by arcade legends Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands.

Classic Retro Gameplay

Robbotto, developed by JMJ Interactive, is scheduled for a Q3 release this year and it’s heading to PC, Switch, PS4, and Xbox One:

Here’s what it’s got to offer us ‘old-school’ gamers:

  • You take control of Robb and Otto, two intrepid maintenance robots as they travel through a malfunctioning star cruiser
  • It’s a retro-inspired arcade platformer that features single-player or couch co-op
  • To keep you busy, there are over 100 levels, 20 enemies types, and 10 bosses to beat

Details are thin at the moment, but we can expect to hear more out of this one as the release date draws closer. If you’re a Bubble Bobble fan, there’s a chance this might bring back a few memories…
