Launching tomorrow on Nintendo Switch is Sir Eatsalot, a slow-paced 2D adventure platformer from German studio, Behind The Stone.
In the game, you take on the role of the titular Sir Eatsalot, heading out on a quest to track down Hysterica, a mean old sorceress who has poisoned your precious Gluttington Kingdom. You'll need to put an end to her shenanigans, and you'll be doing just that by using a range of the Switch console's handy features.
This means you'll be getting a fair bit of use out of the touchscreen and gyro controls, with puzzles requiring tapping and swiping movements and other gameplay sections having you rotating the console to move around. It also means that the game can only be played in handheld mode - you can't touch the screen if it's docked, can you?
Here are some features and screenshots:
Features:
Interactive and varied gameplay through full use of different hardware features
Humorous adventure in a silly cartoon world full of sweets and other delectables
Immersive and detailed level design with hand-drawn graphics
Interact with the game world to discover more quirky characters
Collect over 20 stickers to learn more about the world of Sir Eatsalot
As mentioned above, the game is scheduled to launch on Switch tomorrow, 9th January. If you're liking what you see, make sure to tap and rotate some words into our comment box below.

love the art! might grab it
It's actually already out in the Australian eShop. I think this probably isn't for me but I do appreciate developers getting creative with the Switch's features and trying to make something a bit different.
Looks pretty rough. And I hate that eating sound. Not for me
Looks great for children.
Art style looks good but handheld only and motion oriented gameplay is a no no in my book
@BenAV
The game is actually a port from the PS Vita, so it was being creative with that system's features.
The Switch just happens to be a close fit.
Nice graphics. Other then that, I don't know.
The art is good (not great) but the frame rate on that looks rough. No thanks for me
@Balta666 I get your point, but since there are thousands of games on the Switch already, I don’t think it is wrong to have a few being handheld only or touch screen.
I know it isn’t for everyone. But I think it is healthy for the system to have niche games.
It’s a fun game, but I would recommend getting it on Vita if you have one because it is one of the few games that made good use of the rear touchpad.
@Kienda I totally agree. Just saying is not for me
@Balta666 it’s probably not for me either to be fair.
