Adventures of Chris releasing in October

Graffiti Games and Guin Entertainment have set a final release date for Adventures of Chris, a ’90s inspired adventure platformer. It’ll be out via the eShop on October 8.

Here’s an overview of the game, along with a trailer:

Adventures of Chris is a ‘90s-inspired adventure platformer where you help a chubby underdog kid with wacky superpowers battle bizarre villains, unlock and customize special moves and spells, and save the world. After getting kidnapped and turned into a balloon by cartoon villains, you’ll escape and learn a bevy of skills such as how to throw lightning and bounce around like a basketball. Using these skills and more you’ll transform Chris from a weak kid into the ultimate hero, defeating the forces of villainy and making it home in time for dessert.
