Joggernauts heading to Switch this summer

Space Mace and Graffiti Games announced today that Joggernauts is coming to Switch. The game is currently slated for later this summer on Nintendo’s platform.
Joggernauts is a co-op auto-runner party game. Here’s a bit of additional information, along with a trailer:
In Joggernauts, players take turns switching to the head of a jogging team of alien athletes as they navigate through deceptively difficult color-coded platforming levels while avoiding crashing into obstacles. In order to finish the level and collect all the trophies for victory, teams must work together and time their jumps and switches perfectly. Players can also take on the challenges by themselves in the uniquely designed single-player mode, where one player simultaneously controls two different colored characters. Friends can also hot swap in to partake in two to four person co-op play. While jogging, players must switch the corresponding color to the front of the line of characters in order to match the color of enemies, obstacles, prizes and pickups in the level. Failure to do so can result in dreaded death, which reduces the overall shared number of lives for the team. Players always succeed or fail as a group, either successfully crossing the finish line, or failing and restarting the level, together.
Also revealed today, a single-player mode will be included. Space Mace co-founder Zachary Johnson provides the following information:
“Single player mode is a bit like patting your head while rubbing your belly because players will need to keep track of jumping and switching for two characters, which is loads of fun and most folks get the hang of it after a couple levels. Your characters jog as a pair of two different colors, one in front of the other. Your right hand controls jumping the front/lead color jogger and switching which color Joggernaut is in front, while your left hand controls jumping the back/rear color jogger.”
