Gearbox Publishing and independent video game developer Andrew Morrish have today released Unidentified Falling Objects on Switch.
The game mixes your standard falling block puzzle format with an element of platforming. You play as a tiny, laser-wielding spaceman/robot attempting to dodge colourful blocks that fall from the sky and move them across the arena to stack up like colours into combos. It's a pairing that didn't immediately seem to be a good fit in our minds, but having watched the above trailer, we can see this becoming quickly addictive.
In single-player mode, you will progress through a variety of stages, switching up your loadout with a number of weapons, movements and kicks to best suit the current challenge. The game can also be played up to against 20 other players online for some competitive block blasting.
Have a look at the game's features and adorable retro-visual style below.

Looks cute. Kinda Panel De Pon-like, which is a subgenre there should be way more of.
Great name. Awesome concept. Probably not my cup of tea though, I'm afraid. But I hope the game does well. Looks solid for what it is. I'm just not into puzzle games except for Tetris and Dr. Mario.
Hm...not really my cup of tea.
I'll go and have a look-see on the Eshop to see if it's for me or not. I'm not great at platformers though so that might be a problem.
You all want to play a super fun game? Go grab Brotato from the eShop!! OMG this game is so rad!!!!!!
The blocks remind me of Mr Driller, which is a good thing.
Will wait for NL or elsewhere to review it.
The first game is already one of the ten best falling block puzzle games ever, this one is even better, if the demo is any indicator. I literally haven't been more excited for a release than for this since last year. Any tile matching puzzle fan should buy this game.
I’ll try the demo! Love the puzzlers.
I think if the gameplay mechanic holds up, it could be quite enjoyable and my kinda thang. Review required.
I generally like falling block/shape puzzlers
@Poodlestargenerica What's the first game?
@PikaPhantom That's Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe on PC (and Ouya !). I used to play it a lot years ago and that's the first game I install on my Steam Deck.
Great game actually.
