Neon-coated cosmic shooter Aluna Rift heading to Nintendo Switch
Today, Digiggle Games announced the upcoming release of its Nintendo Switch game Aluna Rift. The title is slated for November 27, 2025.
Aluna Rift is a neon-coated cosmic shooter. The love letter to classic arcade games takes inspiration from Asteroids.
Everything you need to know can be found in the following overview:
Supported by an intoxicating original soundtrack and gorgeous ever-changing cosmic backdrops, Aluna Rift fuses old-school arcade action with several modern-day gaming influences. Weapon upgrades are plentiful and full of vibrant neon-illumination, especially when combining several simultaneously. There are enormous screen-filling Boss Fights that really amp up the challenge, as well as a variety of random encounters that catch you off-guard by switching up the gameplay. Roguelite elements are also present, with the player’s performance in a run being rewarded with buffs for the next one. You can even bring a friend into the mix with co-operative game modes, or go head-to-head in a – surprisingly exhilarating – splitscreen battle mode!
To top it all off, there’s an endless survival mode, equipped with its own global leaderboard that simply amplifies the already-present voice in your head whispering “just one more go!”.

Developer Ben Lowther-Saul said: “The game actually started life as part of a job application. I was asked to ‘recreate Asteroids (1979) in Unity’ over the course of a few days, and something about what I delivered really struck a chord with me. Everything just snowballed from there really! I challenged myself to evolve that initial work into its own unique fully fledged game.”
