The BEST game I have ever played... the way the game works combined with a mysterious race... LOVE IT. My favourite part is the quantum moon, where hmmhmmhmmhmmhmmhm. Sorry, no spoilers!
An update on the status of this port would be great.
So when are they ever gonna speak about this version? unlike Fall Guys there hasn't been any news since last year and this looks like a promising title to play on Switch, but when?
Checking back in roughly a year later - an update on the status of this port would be great.
@Violator Out today on the eShop, physical next year
Happy to see it finally come to the Switch, had my eye on this one and took care to hold out for a first playthrough on this console.
