Gearbox Publishing and independent video game developer Andrew Morrish have today released Unidentified Falling Objects on Switch.

The game mixes your standard falling block puzzle format with an element of platforming. You play as a tiny, laser-wielding spaceman/robot attempting to dodge colourful blocks that fall from the sky and move them across the arena to stack up like colours into combos. It's a pairing that didn't immediately seem to be a good fit in our minds, but having watched the above trailer, we can see this becoming quickly addictive.

In single-player mode, you will progress through a variety of stages, switching up your loadout with a number of weapons, movements and kicks to best suit the current challenge. The game can also be played up to against 20 other players online for some competitive block blasting.

Have a look at the game's features and adorable retro-visual style below.
