Earlier this month we shared some details on upcoming Switch eShop projects from publisher Headup Games, including the rather intriguing Slime-san. It was given an 'August' window, and Headup Games has now confirmed that it'll land on the store on 3rd August - it's not far away.
It looks rather interesting and seems to have a lot of content; you can see an updated Switch trailer and some press release details below.
- Incredibly fast-paced and twitch-timing platforming madness!
- No time to stay still as you are chased by a wall of acid at every corner! Run, run, run!
- Being a slime has its perks. Slime your way through cracked walls and surfaces!
- Bust through brittle obstacles or tense situations with a speedy dash move.
- Slime to slow time, dash to speed it up. Feel like an absolute badass with pixel precise maneuvers!
- A game filled with content: 100 levels made out of 400 rooms combined with 100 new game+ levels totalling to a staggering 200 levels and 800 rooms!
- Collect partially-digested apples to unlock different play styles, outfits, shaders and mini-games!
- Get your shopping done in a town of survivors within the worm, home to colorful characters and surprising secrets.
- Each level is timed with online rankings, for the competitive and score-oriented.
- Unlock extra game modes like New Game+, Speed Running and Boss Rush modes!
- Get engrossed in a unique, 5 colored, pixelated world…found… within… the worm?
- Adhesive Wombat, Tiasu, Meganeko, Kubbi, Inverse Phase, Richard Gould... Over 10 composers contributed with over 20 songs for a chiptune album that you can't help but groove out to!
- Unlock multiplayer mini-games that can be played locally with one set of Joy-Cons!

It looks like it could be a bit of a gem, but the proof will be in the playing. Are you interested in Slime-san?

Funny... I got this for 1$ from one of that bundles on steam...
I never launched it tho...
Honestly I thought it was gonna be some fun meat boy clone but further in the trailer I realized how different this game is from meat boy and it looks fantastic, day one buy for me I'm excited for this game. I'll be sure to tell my Nintendo friends about it
I'm going to start falling behind on eshop titles. This one looks very fun
This one looks interesting.
Looks like a poor mans meat boy and I'd rather rebuy meat boy to be honest.i watched a review of it when it was Switchbond and it sounds decent, but not great.
I'll get this - never had a console I could own Meatboy on and Gonner isn't quite doing it for me like I thought it would.
Been looking forward to getting this ., the graphics which I personally love would look awesome on the 3DS with the stereoscopic 3D effect .
I find this game much more aesthetically pleasing than meat boy so I'll be picking it up.
@ultek Do you mean 12$ in a monthly bundle?
Had this game on pc this way.
I can say that it's a good game!
Aw, but I'm saving up for an snes classic, so I'll have to get it later.
@Mopati ah yeah, it was from monthly bundle....
Looking forward to this one, glad it's coming soon
YES! Been looking forward to this.
Next on the list of hardcore/tough-as-nails/difficult platformers is Celeste
This looks great. Looks like a great tough as nail platformer with a meatboy esc kindof of style. Will definantely be picking this up on switch.
Had the privilage of reviewing this one on PC. Since then, I hoped it would come to Switch. I frickin want this port!
How much is it?
