Ratalaika Games are no strangers to porting games to the Switch - League of Evil, The Count Lucanor, and I and Me are just a handful of their past porting projects - and now another one is on the way: Rotten Mage's tower defence game, Spacejacked.
In Spacejacked, your job is defend your spaceship against a relentless horde of aliens. The game's press release tells us to expect arena shooter action, tower defence tension, and multi-arena madness, and you can get a taster for what is to come in the trailer below.
You'll need to keep an eye on the floor and the ceiling, whilst navigating between arenas via gravity flipping and teleporters. There is a Story Mode, a Challenge Mode, and an Endless Mode, as well as various weapon upgrades to unlock, too. Whilst no date has been set for the release just yet, Ratalaika says that it is "aiming for Nintendo Switch releases to coincide across Europe and North America", with more specific details coming later in the year.
Is this one going on your potential wishlist? Let us know what you think below.

...another pixel/action/platformer, but I got to admit this looks really fun! Love the genre mix and the speed.
I think the lack of comments says a lot.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE The lack of comments says nothing
Looks like a very GBA-ish kind of game. Might look into it if it ever arrive on the eShop.
Video worth watching for that 8-bit chiptune. Groovy!
@bluedogrulez sadly the music is the best part. A great part, but not purchase-worthy.
looks fun; reminds me of the best game on PS3, Alien Zombie Megadeath (and Alien Zombie Death). If it's anything like that, this is an easy day 1 buy for me.
It has a nice vibe to it. I get the impression you are warping around to different locations on the ship to defend which could be a fun kind of hectic. Definitely has a feeling of Xenophopia and even a little Quartet. Seems like it would make a good co-op game, actually, but it doesn’t seem to be that.
Very fun and challenging action/strategy/defense game.
I almost forgot that I worked on the localization a year ago.
Good to see the port finally coming together.
Reminds me of a sci-fi themed Super Crate Box with some light tower control elements thrown in.
I will might get it depending on how much it is.
I might*
Doesn't look bad... just kind of generic to me.
Looks too busy, in a bad flashy way.
So some sort of action shooter with tower defense elements sprinkled in with some light platforming on the side?
.... ok then. I'll byte.
