Traxmaster Software has revealed its debut game Exception, a platformer that will be launching on Nintendo Switch this summer.
The game is set inside an elderly woman's computer which has been overrun by a deadly virus, leaving you to run, jump and fight your way through a variety of platforming levels to rid the problem. There's a neat little twist in play here, though; as you'll see in the trailer above, the levels rotate and move around you, opening up new paths to take and interesting gameplay mechanics.
We've got the game's official description for you below:
An old woman’s computer has been taken over by ‘Titan’, a totalitarian virus set to destroy the operating system. Players take on the role of a hero who must vanquish the malicious invader that is crippling the system before it crashes. Using easy controls, traverse through timed byte-sized levels, overcome various obstacles and enemies as quickly as possible to secure a place on one of the online leaderboards catered to different playstyles.
Whether the player chooses an evasion tactic or straight up combat, Exception’s classic platforming experience features an innovative level shifting mechanic, which spices up the gameplay and reveals secret pathways and collectables. Combining two-dimensional action with a three-dimensional world, Exception offers a fresh take on the classic platforming experience.
We don't have an exact release date for this one just yet, but we're told that it'll be coming "soon".
Do you like the look of it? Do you think it has the potential to be a great addition to the Switch's platforming library? Tell us below.

That intro with the old woman looks terrible, they'd be better off hiring an actress and making it live action.
The game however looks spectacular.
my eyes, my eyeeees!!!!
Oh this looks good!
Visual Overkill in a negative way
@SmaggTheSmug I was just about to say this. xD Good thing the game looks great because that amateur CG was not a good way to start a trailer.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought the CG looked like crap. Kinda reminds me of those bad Max from Blue tax commercials.
Great game and concept nonetheless.
"Watch Levels Transform Before Your Eyes In Exception, A New Platformer Headed For Switch"
The way this headline was written, I literally thought for a moment that the title of the game was. "Watch Levels Transform Before Your Eyes In Exception " and said to myself: "Well, that's a weird sounding game." 😂
@SmaggTheSmug Its a mock of early computer animation.
The game looks really fun and unique. I'll have to keep my eye on it.
The opening animation, though? That was horrendous.
Hopefully, the cgi cut scenes can be skipped. Because...yuck! The actual game looks badass. I’m in.
Going against the grain here, I think the opening CG is rather charming. I doubt this is a case of the devs not being talented animators, it looks to me to be a throwback to the CG of the 90's since the screen itself looks like a stylized version of a 90's Windows machine. The game itself looks like it's got some serious potential, I'm keeping an eye on this one.
Ohhh love the heavy synth music at the beginning. Game looks pretty good too.
This is a very weird premise.
Looks great, I’ll keep this on my radar.
Lol at that person at the beginning! Other then that it looks great.
