Zoinks Games is hard at work on Flipping Death, a black humoured platformer much in the same vein as Stick It To The Man, and it's just announced a partnership with publisher Rising Star Games to launch a physical edition alongside the eShop version. Both versions are due to arrive in Spring 2018, with the physical edition packing in two exclusive art cards as well.
These art cards aren't just there to look nice - each one will come with character bios and unlock codes to help complete your full collection of cards inside the game itself. If you're new to Flipping Death, then you're in for a morbid treat. You play as Penny, who is forced to pick up Death's scythe when it decides to take an impromptu vacation.Flip the entire world around to solve puzzles on both the living and the dead sides and slowly uncover the mystery surrounding your own demise.
Let us know what you make of this new Flipping Death update. Will you be picking it up digitally or physically?

I love having my feet tickled by complete strangers
It's finally happening!
Interested if physical is available, is it confirmed for uk
This looks so good.I loved Stick It To The Man when it was given away on PS Plus but will be picking this and their other one Fe up for the Switch.
Developers are finaly realising, there are quite a lot of people who still only do physical (like me).
I hope they release it in the UK
@Bunkerneath I don't think it's about realizing or not, but more about a) do they have the funds and b) will they make them back from the physical release. It costs money to manufacture stock, and get stores to put it on their shelves. And any copies that aren't sold are still being paid for
@wolvesboy @Bunkerneath Rising Star Games have a pretty big pressence with UK publishing. Should be a pretty safe call to make.
I mean its not Nicalis.
It's good that they announced the physical version is coming at a later date, before the game is released digitally. Now people have a choice instead of being forced to double dip.
Sweet. Pretty interested this one and it's my preference to buy physically when possible (to save space on my microSD card above all else) so it's nice to know well beforehand.
Sweet!!!! I've been looking forward to this game since the first trailer. I am really liking the games from this studio. Stick it to the man is a great game and Fe just looks amazing. I absolutely love the art direction Zoink has in there games. I can't wait till next week to get Fe and I will be sure getting the physical copy of Flipping Death. Like someone said above already this shows a lot of confidence the developers have in there games to announce and release physical along with digital before they see what the digital sales will become. A couple weeks ago Zoink partnered with Image & form ( makers of the Steam World series )to form a new studio called Thunderful and I can't wait to see what the first game will be with there collaboration.
Fantastic. Some of these indie games really looked like too big a game to be just indie digital. So glad to see they're more and more (and particularly on Switch) stepping into the retail world as "full games".
@SLIGEACH_EIRE 1000% agree.....I hope this becomes the norm going forward.
I'm interested. I was going to buy this digitally, but if it's the same price physically as digitally I'll buy it physical to get 20% off, but if it's like Rocket League where the cart is more than the digital version then I'll buy it digitally
@wolvesboy if it's not import it Switch is Region Free
I'm buying digital, but it's a nice trend that the OwlBoy devs and now Zoink are telling people physical releases are on the way before their game comes out.
I definitely want to try and get the physical version, unless the price is much higher than the eShop version. But I'd love to have the art cards!
Sold!... Well, unless this is twice as much.
@serendipitiful Getting over the second concern is exactly realizing.
cannot wait for this game, will buy digital to support the creators as much as possible
I love physical media for games but after having kids... Unless a game is huge, or from a series I'm a big fan of, or over $30, I'm going digital. Kids destroy physical media. Disks crack, game boxes are ripped and chewed on, and Switch cartridges... eaten...
More and more I'm leaning towards digital since it's easy to access on your device, it can't be lost, and it supports the developers more than buying physical.
I'm definitely getting digital versions of the Megaman and Street Fighter collections later this year.
@-DG
haha. eaten.
i'll digital this most likely. if i do physical it's usually to buy used. i HATE changing discs/cartridges.
i just wish the price for digital was less than retail. consoles have a real bad habit of pricing them the same and i think it's just because gamestop and those guys would just drop the retail copies if that happened.
long live steam i guess.
Completely forgot about this one, I remember the trailer in the early days of Switch (by that nice US guy, not the annoying Reggie)....hopefully it will be worth the long delay.
Thought this game had a January release originally..
