Indie developer Studio Somewhere has announced a free update for Bonito Days, its Switch-exclusive arcade platformer that launched this October.
Dropping tomorrow, the update provides ten "gorgeous" new levels for players to check out, as well as three new cups to play through either solo or with friends. The new levels form part of Bonito Days’ new progression system, which comes with unlockable stages and customisation options.
When the update arrives, players will spot that all five Sweet Paradise levels are now unlockable for Free Play mode and new colours and patterns have been added to the game. A high-score system has also been added for players to challenge their friends (and even Studio Somewhere’s team), alongside other quality of life fixes and new camera controls.
If you missed our previous coverage of Bonito Days, where we couldn't help but compare the title to Super Monkey Ball's Monkey Target mode, here's a quick look at what it's all about:
Soar through the open skies collecting sweets, nabbing powerups and uncovering hidden routes and top it off with a perfect landing. For these bonnie fish the goal is not winning but enjoying the great weather, chill vibes and relaxing days while they last.
- A relaxing gaming environment to be enjoyed solo or with friends
- A vibrant aesthetic, nostalgic for long summer days
- Free-flowing momentum based gliding and rolling controls
- Easy to pick up and play gameplay
- Japanese City-Pop licensed and original soundtrack
The game's available on the eShop right now for $9.99 / £7.99 / €8,99. Remember that this newly revealed content arrives in-game as a free update tomorrow, 14th December.

it’s kinda groovy! a little bit pilotwings, a little bit Sayonara Wild Hearts
First I see of this game. Seems like the developers of Katamari and Monkey ball got together, but the guy who was supposed to bring the drugs for some reason didn't make it to the meeting.
@bluesdance Gawd blimey, I'd love a new PilotWings as a spiritual successor to PW64.
I know the article says Switch exclusive, but anyone knows if this could ever come to Steam?
Love the vibe of the game though, it really seems like a mix between Lovely Planet, Katamari, Monkey ball.
I want to like this. It seems like a good time, and I would be getting it for the multiplayer, but it seems like maybe one to wait for a sale for me.
