The Arcade Crew and developer TurtleBlaze have revealed that Kunai is set to launch on Nintendo Switch on 6th February, giving us a taste of the inevitable future AI uprising.

The game is described as a "quirky, fast-paced action-adventure / Metroidvania" in which you play as Tabby, a sentient tablet who joins the fight against a robot uprising. You'll need to use your kunai and ninja parkour skills ("PARKOUR!" - sorry) to stop Lemonkus, an evil AI which almost wiped out all human life.

Here's a lengthy feature list taken from the upcoming Steam version:

● Fast-paced action platforming with a grappling twist.
● Silky smooth movement mechanics tuned to the pixel.
● Lots of juicy exploding robots crafted with care (note: screenshake can be turned off at your own leisure).
● Kunai-driven grappling fun with swinging included to amplify those deadly ninja drops.
● A wide variety of places to explore, ranging from a fallen city, floating airships to artificial deserts and more!
● Unique art style, with every area having its own color palette taking you back to the early days of gaming.
● Combat mechanics and weapons in abundance to slice, dice and fire your robotic foes to pieces.
● Friendly and not so friendly robots to meet along the way including Earl, Chief and the evil A.I. Lemonkus.
● Rocking soundtrack with lots of 16-bit references blasting into your ears.
● You are a NINJA TABLET. ‘Nuff said.
