We've seen some bizarre indie games come to Switch in the last few years, but few of us would've had "medieval physics-based unicycle adventure" on the bingo card. Remarkably, that's exactly what Balancelot is bringing when it launches on January 22nd.
Developed by AnvilBird Interactive, you play a lowly squire who is looking to attend your kingdom's jousting tournament but lacks the coin to buy a horse. Naturally, a unicycle is your next best option. You'll be fending off both gravity and mythical monsters as you advance, using the controller to keep your squire balanced whilst attacking with the lance.
Previously released on PC back in 2019, this Switch port is being published by Ratalaika Games, who've previously brought us Loot Hero DX and Freddy Spaghetti. Launching for both Europe and North America, it'll cost £7.99/$7.99.
It wasn't widely reviewed when it initially launched on PC, though it currently holds a "Positive" rating on Steam's user reviews. At the very least, it certainly looks like it could provide a few laughs, but how it fares on Switch remains to be seen.

Hilarious! Looks like a €2 mobile game though. Price is a bit steep for what you get.
Looks like Happy Wheels playing as the segway guy
Looks pretty simplistic, but I'm ab-so-lute-ly LOVING the name. Just too funny, in my humble opinion.
Reminds me of that old motorbiking game for Windows.
Elasto Mania, that's the one.
Some kind of low-gravity fulcrum sim?
I love the name!
While I definitely won't pay anything above €2 for this, I already got a good chuckle out of it for free, just by reading the name. Thanks, whoever came up with that.
Someone help that guy or... Galahead.
They... Arthurrific.
Damn I'm bad at this. If only I was slightly... Bedwyr.
Ah well, at any rate, the footwork in these routines and trailer scenes is impeccable.
This looks hilarious! I also love the medieval theme! I'll wait for a review though. I feel like this is going to at least make my (ever-growing) wishlist.
Reminds me of Rock of Ages with the use of the art. Seems fun.
