I'm interested.
Me too. If the controls are sweet and it offers fun, frustration free gaming, then I may be in on this.
One of several games that piqued my interest today.
Who remember the Nitrome games from newgrounds?
This is perhaps the only game revealed today that has taken my interest. Will keep an eye on this.
Nice concept, I'll buy it.
I loved Nitrome flash games back in the day, Super Treadmill in particular. I’m excited that they’re finally dipping a toe into console publication, and I’ll definitely be picking this one up.
That was like poultry in motion!
The messenger and chicken bomb are the 2 stand out games for me from indies direct.
Looking forward to the sequel "Manure Cow".
Looks pretty good
The gameplay elements themselves look pretty solid and move smoothly. As long as the level design stays fresh, althroughout, then I can see this being a decent purchase.
I grew up with Nintendo and Nitrome games. That there is a Nitrome game on a Nintendo console is a match made in heaven
Nitrome on console!? And switch no less. I'm down for that I had been wondering if they'd try for it one day. I'd personally love to see a Final Ninja game of theirs come upgraded to switch. I grew up on their games.
Really liking the pixel art in this game.
Looks like a riot!
I'm currently playing Nitrome's "Slime Pizza" and I'm digging their brand of cute and quirky pixel art and their mechanics-centric character design and stories.
Wish it had co op, my friend is obsessed with Chickens.
"Bombs and HD rumble are a match made in heaven."
Alright I'm buying!
Me: Alright, it's gonna take more than that to impress me!
-sees that it's by Nitrome-
