BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND – Feb. 20, 2019 – Assault Android Cactus+, the action-packed arcade-style twin-stick shooter by Witch Beam, debuts on the Nintendo Switch March 8.

Assault Android Cactus+ is an enhanced edition of the acclaimed twin-stick shooter, bringing everything Cactus is known for to the Switch including the vibrant roster of playable characters with unique loadouts, transforming stages, and smooth 60 frames-per-second mayhem. This edition adds new character costumes, aim assist options and Campaign+, a completely reimagined version of the 25-stage campaign.

Campaign+ caters to experienced players by rebuilding each stage with new enemy waves and dynamic elements, utilizing the game’s full arsenal of enemies for new encounters and amped-up boss fights. Veterans and newcomers alike will be able to go deeper than ever before and have even more online leaderboards to conquer.

Thanks to the Switch, Cactus+ is not only playable on the go, but single Joy-Con support makes it a snap to play co-op anywhere. With aim assist, players focus on dodging, shooting and managing weapons, retaining the heart of the experience even without twin joysticks. Aim assist also works with dual Joy-Con and Pro Controllers making it ideal for players learning the ropes or anyone wanting to give their thumb a rest. It’s the perfect equalizer for gathering friends for up to 4-player couch co-op.

Boss Rush and Infinity Drive give determined players even more action, while Daily Drive gives them one shot at setting a worldwide high score in a newly generated level. Developer Commentary, Jukebox, and Sound Test modes are joined by a new Movie Gallery for revisiting cinematics. Unlock new costumes for all nine Androids and earn credits to enable EX options like first person mode, AI players and the newly re-balanced MEGA Weapons that are more destructive than ever.

“We’re proud of what we achieved with Assault Android Cactus Plus,” says Tim Dawson, director, Witch Beam. “Campaign+ is our love letter to hardcore genre fans and aim assist is making our game even more accessible. More people are going to be able to get more out of it.”

Assault Android Cactus+ will release on Nintendo Switch on March 8 for $19.99 and can be pre-purchased now with a 25% discount for $14.99. The game supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Japanese languages.

Warsaw, Poland, Feb 20, 2019 – 11 bit studios is happy to announce that their 80’s cop show inspired indie hit, Beat Cop is making the move to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on March 5, 2019, for the average price of a dozen donuts or $14.99 / €14.99.

As careers go, law enforcement may not be the easiest path to walk. It’s a tough challenge for even tougher people. Playing as officer Jack Kelly, framed for murder and downgraded from detective to a street patrol cop in Brooklyn, the path you walk might be tougher than most!

Solve puzzling problems on the roughest of streets, help the local community, deal with dangerous mobsters and gangsters, be the good cop or take the odd bribe on the side, and finally, solve the mystery of a murder you’ve been framed for.

Features:

• Retro pixel art experience with a non-linear story and multiple endings
• The pure essence of ‘80s cop shows
• Mature *ahem* humor
• Laying down the law, one ticket at a time

Originally developed for PC by the indie team at Pixel Crow and published by 11 bit studios, Beat Cop: Console Edition has been brought to life by the sweet, huggable team at Crunching Koalas.

HONG KONG – Feb. 19 2019 – Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption, the boss battler from publisher Another Indie and the AAA veterans at developer Dark Star Game Studios, brings new challenges and content to the arena today on Discord and Steam alongside its Steam launch. Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will receive the free content update before the end of this month.

Adam’s quest for redemption continues with the addition of a new non sequitur boss to defeat – a giant armored chicken. Armed with a deadly peck and minion-spawning eggs, Cowardly Modic pits Adam against his fowl-est challenger yet. Two new weapon sets, twin swords and a sword and shield combo, add fresh options to an already powerful arsenal, each harnessing the power of conquered bosses.

In addition to a new boss and weapons, three more challenges await in New Game+. The Trial of Speed grants Adam swiftness in exchange for losing invulnerability during dodge rolls, while the Trial of Consequence restricts Adam to a single life and Trial of the Sinner fuses both into the ultimate test of skill.

“We couldn’t bring Sinner to Steam without a bit of fanfare, which is why we’ve released our biggest update across all platforms,” says Iain Garner, director of developer relations, Another Indie. “The new boss is unlike anything players have seen before, and the rest of the added content expands the difficulty so that even the most battle-hardened warriors will have something to look forward to.”

Embark on a journey through a macabre world and take on specters of past misdeeds, each based on one of the seven deadly sins. Each boss demands a sacrifice, weakening Adam and making each fight harder than the last. With an array of weapons at his disposal and endless paths through to the final boss, Adam’s journey can be customized to fit any playstyle.

Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption is available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Steam and Discord for $18.99 in English, Spanish, German, French, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Russian.
