Platformer shooter Speedollama coming to Switch
Chaosmonger Studio is bringing its new game Speedollama to Switch, the studio just announced. It will be available on October 21, 2024.
Speedollama is a side-scrolling platformer shooter with a pixel art, retro-arcade aesthetic. We’ve got more information about it in the following overview:
Packed with hilarious splatter elements, fast-paced action, a variety of upgrades and weapons, and loads of humor, Speedollama promises to entertain gamers of all ages.
The game’s visuals feature pixel art to capture a retro-arcade aesthetic, reminiscent of late 80s and early 90s games.

Equipped with a powerful tunneling machine, the llamas embark on a bizarre journey, burrowing through the earth, collecting funky substances, and battling the relentless alpaca forces along with their beastly allies.
