Turnip Boy Robs a Bank review

System: Switch
Release date: January 18, 2024
Developer: Snoozy Kazoo
Publisher: Graffiti Games


It’s not very often that you find a game that will actively encourage you to commit crimes, with most that even give you the option of doing so attaching a suitable punishment: placing a bounty on your head so that authorities will attack you on site, changing your name to “THIEF” so that everyone knows your true nature, or even outright killing you if you return to the scene of the crime in future. Turnip Boy Robs a Bank sees the titular hero returning to commit further crimes after his successful tax evasion, this time in the form of a roguelite experience that, despite its flaws, is as delightfully charming and nonsensical as its predecessor.

Fae Farm just released its latest update today with the game shifting to version 2.1.0.

A number of highly requested improvements and fixes are included here. One aspect to point out is that following feedback, the single-player pause behavior and how it interacts with both the World Clock has been adjusted. Planted flowers can be reclaimed, the stats panel has been redesigned, and there’s new ialogue for Pearl, Rosalind, and Tamael.

Here’s the full rundown:

Switch menu mockup

New images have been shared that give us a look at some early Switch menu mockups. X user PaulFelixKelly posted the shots earlier today.

The screenshots were discovered on a prototype Switch NAND. However, when exactly they were taken is a bit unclear. Although the pictures are marked as being created in 2015, they were included in an “Album” Test folder, meaning the date ranges can be wrong and only be given for in app display purposes.
