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.
