We rather enjoyed 2D platformer Wunderling when we reviewed it back in March 2020. Coming from Retroid Interactive, the game puts you in the shoes not of a hero, but of a lowly underling goomba-type — the sort of low level goon Mario would squish in World 1-1. This particular underling is granted the ability to jump, though.
Wunderling charmed us last year and it has recently been patched with the free 'Kohlrabi's Ruin' update. We haven't been able to check it out just yet, but we're told it includes a whole new world (a new fantastic point of view), 15 new levels (plus 3 hidden ones), some new costume pieces, and what is described as a "stunning conclusion to the saga". Yep, we'll take all that for nowt thank-you-very-much.
Check out the trailer above for a look at what the update offers. If you're still wondering about the game, we said in our review that "Wunderling proves itself to be an incredibly addictive platformer that boasts excellent level design, brilliant writing, and adorable visuals". Certainly worthy of investigation if you're after a platformer that's a bit different.
The original reveal trailer below gives you a flavour of the base game, too, if you can handle two trailers in the same article, that is:
Have you caught up with this little eShop gem? Let us know below if you'll be checking out the new update.

Hate when game developers are pandering to my love for kohlrabi 😤
@StefanN
Today I learned that kohlrabi is a German turnip, and not just a made up word for this game.
Hang on, the little creature (thankyou rupeeclock, so it's a turnip then) went down a green pipe......... where have I seen that before in a game??? Does look like a pretty good platformer though
This is a really great game BTW. I love games like Mario, Rayman, and Celeste, and I enjoyed it a lot.
I chuckled at the Aladdin reference.
This game is wunderfully bunkers.
Omg this game got an update? It’s sooo good, if you haven’t already give it a shot it’s great!
I first thought the cover thumbnail said Wunderdung 😮
@RupeeClock Well and today i learned from you that Kohlrabi is a german thing and not something you're gonna get everywhere, haha. But yeah again, Kohlrabi is pretty good haha
@DomGC Totally agree with that!
