The publisher QubicGames is giving away six family games for free until the end of 16th August (that's today). The reason? It's all to celebrate the release of "new addons" and to welcome the developer and publisher Forest Spirits to the Qubic family.
If you own or download Coloring Book - which is free on the Switch eShop - you'll get the following six games for free:
# | Game |
1 | Robonauts |
2 | Pocket Mini Golf |
3 | Mini Trains |
4 | Not Not - A Brain Buster |
5 | Jumping Joe & Friends |
6 | Puzzle Book |
This offer covers North America and Europe and extends to other regions as well (you'll just have to check your local eShop). Thanks to WoomyNNYes, Northwind and Snatcher for the heads up. Will you be adding any of these games to your Switch library? Tell us down below.

If they're free it's time to fill you boots.
Thanks for the heads up.
(Have the golf game already from a previous sale. Think it was less that £1 then)
thanks nintendo life for the shoutout.
@Snatcher all of that is literally mentioned in the post. Stop drinking on a Sunday morning.

Thanks for the information. All downloading ATM 😊
But are any of these games worth bothering with?
@Fazermint might as well download them nonetheless or just buy em and not download them
The only one I have tried is Not Not, but like it a lot and definitely recommend it for free.
@Fazermint I've been reading some reviews for them. Robonauts is probably the best of them. It's a planet hopping platform shooter that Nintendo Life gave 7/10.
The rest are average and uninspired, save maybe for Mini Trains, which is a puzzle game where you have to construct lines for multiple trains to follow, collecting stars along the way to rack up points.
@RazumikhinPG WHat's the point of Sunday mornings without heavy drinking?
meh, only crappy games are free, and I don't fill my Switch's memory with crappy games.
The last one is Puzzle Book, not Puzzle Block.
The golf one is fun for the first few minutes, but then you realise that if you don't make a hole within three shots it's game over, unless you spend diamonds.
None of the others grabbed me, except for Jumping Joe and Friends, which whilst incredibly simplistic, really has that
"one more go" appeal. Loved the 40 minutes I've put in so far, and can see myself coming back to it fairly often for a quick burst.

Downloading these now, the Golf game was relatively ok, but Robonauts is the best of the bunch here...
Free for a reason lol
These look like boring phone games... The colouring book game really makes me want Mario Paint on the Switch though.
Missed the news earlier, but looks like I have everything on this list already.😅
I'll take any free games going right about now!
80% of the games on there are shovelware so yeah not really anything special.
@Agriculture Norwegian, but close
@Fazermint in this pack golf is entertaining for 10 minutes, so is robonauts.
I got the rest because often there will be sales to get a free game if you own another game. Sometimes those games have been free at earlier times.
More like: The reason? Because no one would buy them otherwise.
Downloading them either way. I can always delete them later.
Umm, no thanks
Robonauts is the best one here great indie game.
I don't want these games for free hahaha.
The aesthetic of my Switch Home menu is more important, so no thanks.
Jumping Joe & Friends is a surprising awesome little piece of shovelware.
Robonauts is fun for a few hours. Puzzle Book is fun for a few minutes.
So not as bad as you’d think. JJ&F is absolutely worth it if you need something banal and mindless for a few minutes.
Free yes, great i think is a bit of a stretch.
Can't go wrong by simply giving them a chance when looking for some time wasters. If they're bad, delete them, nothing lost. If they're good, be happy and enjoy them. Most games from Qubic games on my Switch were free at the time I downloaded them. Nothing too memorable, but still enjoyable and nice to get.
@RodSD64 That's why we need folders... I can hardly find anything when I'm simply looking for something to play. On my 3DS and Wii U, I had folders for my current games, virtual console, finished games I'd return to, demo's,... My PS4 has a folder for VR, and both my PS4 and PS Vita have folders based on genre, but I rarely play them anymore.
I wanted Mini Trains. Nice. 🙂
Yikes. I think Ill pass.
These games are not good, but you can't beat free so I'm downloading them
I got them and I’ve been enjoying Not Not and Jumping Joe quite a bit! Both are super simple time waster type games, but they’re good for what they are.
"Coloring Book" is the Christmas gift that keeps on giving, with the ten free games at Christmas and then whatever free games came from those since.
I already had the golf one, got for 80p or so a while back. Reasonable little thing.
I just downloaded Jumping Joe and Robonauts, think they look quite decent. I can appreciate a nice simple something to just blitz through. I've really enjoyed a few simple cheap games lately. Goblin Sword, Xeodrifter, Blazing Beaks, Galaxy Champions TV. There are some gems in the cheap section.
I've downloaded them onto my girlfriend's Switch as a neat little surprise for when she gets home from work. I got them too, of course. But I imagine we'll not get much use out of them.
Oh, and thanks for the heads up, guys!
I already own NOT NOT Brain Buster so l just had to downloaded the rest and so far mini trains is relaxing but l will try the others games.
An interested in NOT NOT but no harm in getting the others for free.
@Fazermint robonauts is great, and puzzle book is a fun time waster, but it's much better in handheld.
I have an internet browser to play crappy flash style games.
I’m more shocked this crud is on store to start with
Thanks for the shout out
These games are great to have on your system as an option if you’re bored or have kids over. I got a ton of them for free from the QubicGames Christmas promotion where they gave away like 10 games in 10 days (including some of these). A few weeks back my nephew came over and eventually became bored with the real games like Arms, Mario Kart, Luigi’s mansion, etc. He started looking at my backlog of cheap games I never touched and we ended up playing Jumping Joe, Robonauts, and Rekt for hours upon hours. You never know what you’ll find when downloading a free game, sometimes there’s a ton of fun to be had!
Oh boy, free crap.
I have robonauts... I’ve tried to get into it a couple of times, even with my son who is 5. HE doesn’t even like it. Plays like garbage. I’m not downloading their other stuff, no matter how free it is. I’m not artificially adding to their install base.
I can’t resist free so yes please !
Yeah I got all their free games during their last couple of events and deleted all of them shortly after. They weren't bad but they weren't good either. I think if more time was spend on them some could become genuinely good, fun games, the base is there they just lacked that extra bit of polish.
I'm enjoying Mini Trains, and already had Puzzle Book (which is a nice jigsaw puzzle game).
Mini Golf seems to need some polish in regards to the touch controls.
@Folkloner oh, so kinda like Mini Marios
I got Robonauts a while back when it was heavily discounted but I have no interest in any of those other games, even if they are free, so I'm gonna pass.
Whatever even if you hate it all you can hide from your home screen and have to go back into redownload to see it again. I am not exactly excited but will give a couple of them a try.
already got Jumping Joe & Friends it's actually a pretty fun little game to pass the time
Thanks for the heads up.
i just missed it and im not sure if it was free here.
Lol i was just in time to download them all. Thanks for the tip!
I was to late this time. Better luck next time.
People here are really ungrateful. No need to be filled with such darkness.
