Launching later this month on Nintendo Switch is Run The Fan, a cheap and cheerful little puzzler that could have you using your console in a slightly different way.
Your only goal in each of the game's 50+ levels is to turn on the fan, but things aren't quite as simple as pushing a button. Instead, you'll need to ensure that a current reaches the fan uninterrupted, creating an electric arc wherever the board you're looking at might be damaged.
As you can just about tell in the trailer above, the boards move around using the Switch's accelerometer. This means that you'll be able to rotate and move your console around in your hands to control the metal ball, similar to those sections in Zelda: Breath of the Wild where you could use your Joy-Con or Pro Controller to complete Shrine puzzles. Here's a feature list to tell you a little more:
Features:
- The game was developed specifically with Nintendo Switch in mind.
- It mixes puzzle and arcade game mechanics
- The game requires strategic planning, precision, and quick reflexes
- Comfortable controls using the accelerometer
- Dynamic score
- Beautiful graphics, dynamic lights and special effects
- Over 50 levels
It's coming to Switch on 23rd July and will only cost you $3.99. If you're looking for something a little different, it may well be worth taking a chance on this one.

I generally have problems with motion controls so it's a nope from me (i have issues with fine motor skills) it's a shame as it looks like a fun little puzzle game
Looks made decently enough for the price.
Finally! A sequel to Kirby’s Tilt ‘n’ Tumble!
@smithpa01 accelerometer is an option, you can play using left or right stick
@userRRR great stuff article makes it sound like it's motion controls only
Kind of like that old wooden maze game Labyrinth, which I used to play excessively. At $4, count me intrigued.
It's like that Stupid Monkey Ball game but without the monkey.
Ok this is original
This is literally the mini-game from Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction
