Light Fingers Announced For Nintendo Switch - Coming 2018

The gang over at Numizmatic had a huge day today - announcing that their turned based multiplayer game Light Fingers will be releasing on Nintendo Switch next year. The announcement was made during the Nindies showcase this morning.

What do skulking thieves do after a night of procuring shady spoils? They gather at a favorite tavern and wager it away on a friendly game of Light Fingers!

Played on a magical clockworks game board, this turn-based multiplayer game has real-time action and devious opportunities for misdirection, all in the pursuit of securing more loot than your opponents.

After all, bragging rights for the most deft are the greatest steal of all!

The game will feature local pick up and play, and take place on a game board that unfolds into a miniature world. The game will be out on Nintendo Switch in 2018.

Block Droppin' Out August 24th

They were looking for Beta testers not to long ago, and now it looks like Block Droppin' is ready for the masses. Rocketship Park's puzzle game will be available on iPhone and iPad August 24th as a free download.

"Block Droppin' is a fast-paced puzzle game of sliding tiles and falling blocks. Players race against the clock to make shapes in the upper playing field, and then drop those shapes into the well below to clear lines. It's the sort of experience that blends classic concepts into something wholly unique and (we believe) has the potential to secure a permanent spot on the homescreens of puzzle loving gamers."

New Trailer For Debris

I missed this one, but it looks like Debris had a trailer launch last month as well as putting the game page on Steam. According to the Steam page its set for release October of this year. If you want to get your hands on the game before that, you can check it out at Bit Bazaar at the CNE later this month.
