The Punchuin Switch NSP Free Download Romslab It’s been a big week for indie games on the Nintendo Switch. Tons of new games being sneakily shadow dropped on the console of varying genres. Take for example The Punchuin, a puzzle game where you play as a penguin that likes(?) to punch things. It really is basically as simple as that. Well, and a giant god boxing glove appears after you punch a statue and tells you there’s treasure if you punch down for enough. The gameplay is quite simple, but there are a few different types of levels. Your goal is to collect gems through the game from completing levels, puzzles, and minigames.

The levels are quite simple: match three blocks in a row of the same colour. Each level will tell you how many of each colour you need to match together, with the twist being that you can only move them side to side, unless gravity takes over, then they fall. There are also ice blocks that fall with the regular blocks, these can also be smashed with a punch or two. The second level type are the puzzles. These are pre-built levels where colour and ice blocks are already placed, and you simply need to figure out how to get all the colour blocks to match three in a row. Lastly are the minigames; each game is different from each other and require very different things from the main levels.

There’s a punch a block, so it slides to a specific point with a giant punching glove, so you need to find the right level of power to apply. There’s also a basketball level to score all the balls that’s quite difficult, plus a boxing match with a punching bag. All are different, but break up the flow of the main game quite nicely. Playing each level is a bit like Tetris– if your blocks hit the top, you lose. You also can’t take too long because the floor will start to rise. Different levels have different obstacles, like the forest having water, or the last area having lava (which kills your immediately and you need to restart the level). Rage Among the Stars Switch

If you end up under a block you can’t break, the floor will rise one level and knock you free, thankfully. Lastly, the ice blocks that fall sometimes have things to use in them, like a fireball that destroys all the ice blocks on screen, or a stopwatch to give yourself some time to breathe. That or money, to spend at the shop on upgrades, like a fire glove to break ice in one hit. The Punchuin looks cute, and each area is clearly different from each other. Not just in the foreground, but the background and the borders to each level as well. It does help to make each area feel unique, as if you are actually progressing lower into the world. What doesn’t exactly match is the music.


Upgrade items from the Punch Shop


The music in The Punchuin is great, but doesn’t feel like it matches each area quite as much as you would expect. Like I said though, the music is still great, so it is hard to fault it too much. The biggest issues The Punchuin has arguably, are the actual length in the game, as it only took about two to three hours to finish. There’s also a pretty big difficulty spike. Specifically, as you go into the last area, the difficulty shoots through the roof, creating some artificial game time. By this point it’s barely worth collecting coins anymore either, because by this point I had all the upgrades and had finished the minigames (which cost twenty-five coins each).

All in all though, The Punchuin is good fun and definitely an excellent pickup over the holiday period for something to play, especially in short bursts. See how quickly you can clear it, especially once you know how to do some of those puzzles, because they can be real tough. Plus, the music has got to be better than Christmas tunes. Part of that gratification comes between rounds. Unlockable active abilities -- like a kick that crushes enemy stamina, or a low-accuracy but powerful punch -- occupy a limited number of slots, which brings in a smart, if simple, strategic layer to Punch Club. I loved adapting to my opponent's strengths and exploiting their weaknesses.


Interact with NPCs who will help you find the treasure


You are on a quest to find the secret of Punch Mountain's treasure. Make your way down, collect money and diamonds, improve your quick wits and make new friends along the way. Notice their stamina’s low? Unleash with a more aggressive round than last time. Not enough HP to survive the next round? Maybe change out a risky attack for a block or dodge skill. Success isn’t guaranteed, but Punch Club, like a good fight, earns its tension from not knowing for certain how the athletes will execute. These systems are much more complex than its appearance would have you believe.

Developer Lazy Bear Games’ gorgeous pixel art and catchy chiptune music bring a beloved Super Nintendo retro aesthetic, which plays well with the silly but inconsistent tone. The dialogue is intentionally dumb, usually to emphasize a Ninja Turtles or ‘80s action movie in-joke. This is a world reliant on references, which is a shame in that it never has a personality of its own. A few of its jokes genuinely had me in stitches -- a Brad Pitt character homage to Fight Club’s Tyler Durden sent me on a quest to visit his twin brother, a knock-off Mickey from Snatch. It’s cute to deliver pizza for a Casey Jones character. Raiden V: Director’s Cut Switch
