Drowning Monkey Games announced today that Castle Kong, its Donkey Kong-inspired platformer, will be releasing on Switch later this month. The title should drop on February 25.

Here’s an overview of Castle Kong, along with a trailer:

Castle Kong is our homage to what we consider the best game ever made.
Anyways…
What makes the golden age of arcade gaming so fun is a simple concept: 1 coin (Meaning no restarts or additional lives. there are no actual or virtual coins for the Nintendo Switch™ version of the game), 3 lives. play till you die or hit the kill screen, and set a high score.
And that’s what Castle Kong is all about. Just like the game it’s based on, CK will be a ruthless, 4 stage, 22 level romp! You play PauperBoy, a young kid who sets out to save PrincessGirl from the evil clutches of BaronMan.
Unlike it’s predecessors, we leverage the power of connectivity to host tournaments (with a championship!), verify high scores, and have a global leaderboard.
And As Always,
if anyone’s interested, a kill screen is coming up.

Pricing for Castle Kong is set at $6.99 / £5.99 / €6.99 on the Switch eShop.
