Badlad Games has released a new teaser trailer for Leopoldo Manquiseil, a 2D platformer headed to Switch this November.
A curious one to say the least, this game sees the titular Leopoldo suffering from a strange accident after returning home from work. When he wakes up he feels a little different, suddenly feeling an awful lot stronger and obtaining superpowers. Lucky for some. Naturally, you'll be jumping into Leopoldo's shoes, jumping, climbing, and shooting your way through the game, all while counting on the support and help of various other characters along the way.
Split into 24 separate levels, Leopoldo Manquiseil comes from the developers behind Nightmare Boy - which also released on Switch earlier this year. While we enjoyed some of the platforming ideas brought to the table in that game, we did notice "some glaring issues with its narrative, controls, pacing and performance" in our review. Hopefully this new title will address these things and be another great addition to the Switch library.
Game Features:
- Jump, double jump, dash, climb walls, shoot...
- Special levels in Flappy Bird and Pang style.
- Two challenge levels: one simpler is just to reach the end of the level. Another harder way to play will force you to do the above and ALSO get three unique items that will be spread among each level.
- The 24 levels are structured in three groups of 8. The last level of each group is always a final boss.
The development team is said to be applying the finishing touches to the game as we speak, with a November release date being the target.
Will you be keeping an eye out for this one?

To be honest, not interested, the gameplay looks the same as every other platformer nowadays.
Oh boy, another boxy platformer with wall jumping, buzzsaws, double-jumps, and lots of spikes.
At least the protagonist looks interesting and goofy and not another cutesy anime girl (I love anime girls in video games but yeah, can only take so many of them).
To be perfectly honest this looks like a freeware Game Jam project, and not a commercial product.
No!
For me, this is a prototype, not a game.
This looks like a serious rip off of the best game of 2018...
Crappy looking game, horrible, weirdly named character. Off to the dumpster with you, shovelware!
Gross
Looks a bit too floaty for me with the physics. These tough platforms need perfect physics to work (see Celeste or Mutant Mudds)
I don't know. I know we're saturated with platformers like this, but I can't help but kinda like the look of this one. I like the character. Depending on price, I'll probably look this one up.
Hugely generic, utterly uninteresting main character, average graphics even for a pixel style. NOPE.
