Graffiti Games and Guin Entertainment have revealed that Adventures of Chris, a new and upcoming platformer, will be launching on Switch this summer.
You'll be playing as the titular Chris, a "chubby underdog kid with wacky superpowers", taking on platforming challenges and villains aplenty. Chris has an intriguing skill set to see him through, including the ability to transform into a balloon, shoot fireballs, and more, and the whole adventure seems to be coated with a nice dollop of comedy.
Set in the greatest year ever, 1995, protagonist Chris is kidnapped, mocked and transformed into a balloon, but manages to escape by floating off on a global adventure. Driven by determination, superpowers such as fireballs, and most importantly cookies, Chris is on a mission to defeat the forces of villainy to save children from around the world and make it home in time for dessert. Inspired by ‘90s cartoons, Adventures of Chris is chock-full of humour and invigorating combat that players will use to transform Chris from a weak kid into the ultimate hero.
Want more? Here's a feature list:
- Uncover a sinister story in a quirky, cartoon-like universe.
- Explore 9 locations around the world in any order you please, plus the Kingdom of Lost Balloons and more!
- Build Chris from a weak kid into the ultimate underdog hero by upgrading him with unique special moves and abilities that you can customize to your style.
- Learn (or purchase) increasingly powerful spells and techniques.
- Battle bizarre villains across the globe, including samurai cats, cyborg penguins and whiny vampires.
- Float or fall through unique platforming challenges.
- Two additional full game modes, including bonus content - a more difficult and humorous Mean Mode, and Developer Commentary.
- A variety of unlockable content and secrets to discover, including an in-depth backstory.
- Numerous difficulty settings, including "Ridiculously Easy" for players who prefer to never die, and "Hard for No Reason" for crazy people.
- Snort out loud with a game chock-full of laughs.

This game could not BE any more basic
This looks just absurd enough to get my attention..
Charming? He looks like Lester the Unlikely’s younger, fatter brother. Pass.
I wish one day there would be a remake or re-release of zapper one wicket cricked!
You're right, this is an unlikeable character. Pass.
One frame animation? Seems like it. It also doesn’t scream 1995 at all as it looks pretty generic...unless it’s referring to endless generic platformers then, but we already had DKC2 and Yoshi’s Island. Looks really bad and when I clicked the video earlier, it had only one view....
this looks horrific, pass!
Tough crowd. It's too soon to write it off. If the controls are tight enough this could be a fun palette cleanser!
...wtf is this. O.o
@BanjoPickles Yeah, and that game was bad
When they mention he turns into a balloon I got flashbacks from a certain art website
If this had graphics similar to Mutant Mudds I would have been all over it. Graphically, it looks like a flash game from New Grounds, but it looks fun to play. Oh well.
Does he have to be so fat? We get it, fat people jokes....
If the puzzle part of the platforming is good, this may worth a punt. But have to admit, I dislike a lot about how this looks.
Not into the art style whatsoever but I’m not writing it off completely. I’ll keep an eye on it and check it out when it gets closer.
So.much.negativity! I actually think it looks promising, it reminds me of the A boy and his blob remake (wich I sadly never got to play). If only the animation would be better (the animation of THIS game, the A boy and his blob remake looked fine).
If by 90s-inspired you mean Flash game inspired, then yeah...
Otherwise, this looks decidedly cheap and crappy. When I clicked on the article on the front page, I expected to see a SNES type aesthetic, not something playable for free on New Grounds...
After watching the video I admit it doesn't look as bad as I thought but I definitely won't be buying it.
@Patendo agreed, it’s not stupid enough it’s good, it’s just plain stupid 😔
That boy needs to go on a strict diet...
This looks absolutely terrible, no charm what so ever.
Oh man this game looks hilarious! Definitely on my radar 👍🏽
