2D platformer Nullstar: Solus announced for Nintendo Switch

indie.io and Smash Attack Aus are putting Nullstar: Solus on Nintendo Switch, it’s been announced. The game is slated for 2025.

Nullstar: Solus is a sci-fi precision platformer. Players will go through 80 bite-sized levels in which they’ll need to guide a drone through mechanical and organic hazards.

Further details are included in the following overview:

Nullstar: Solus is a precision platformer where speed is of the essence, as your drone races down into forgotten, overgrown chambers and corridors, facing ancient dangers and forgotten hazards in its quest for the most powerful energy source in existence.

Activate Nullstar Protocol! When a world dies and its nullstar is up for grabs, corporate vultures descend to tear apart the corpse. Solus is one of the scavenger drones sent to the surface of the dying world, to find the nullstar among the wreckage of a megastructure belonging to an age long gone.

Pilot Solus the scavenger drone into the depths of a labyrinth of metal and decay, braving impossible odds, overcoming still-active relics of a bygone age, and reaching the mighty nullstar ahead of your competitors.

Solus can move in all four directions – and anywhere between them. But mastery of the Flight Path System is key to winning the race for the heart of the dying world: Turn off thrusters selectively to maximize speed – or brake with them to make near impossible turns and shave seconds off your score.

Fast-paced, high-risk, high-reward gameplay from beginning to the end. Be swift, think fast, set records, challenge rivals, then break their records again. The better the time, the more decryption points you earn, allowing you to learn more about the world of Nullstar.

Beat 80 levels spread across five game worlds, set within the ruins of an ancient civilization where all is not as it might seem, packed with secrets, constantly evolving challenges, and remnants of past glories.

Each level is hand-crafted by artists working closely with level designers to deliver a unique experience, backed by a dark soundtrack featuring Amelia Jones (Hollow Knight) and Mariya Anastasova (Baldur’s Gate 3).
