Fantastico Studio has opened its Kickstarter campaign for Landflix Odyssey, a 2D platformer that spoofs popular Netflix shows. The team is hoping to raise a little over $18,000 by March 7.

Contrary to what we heard previously, the campaign has a stretch goal for a Switch version at €20,000 (roughly $25,000). Fantastico had told us that a release on Switch had been secured even without the Kickstarter, and reaching the main campaign goal would allow for the company to avoid going through a publisher.

In any case, you can access the Kickstarter page here. You can also try out a PC demo here.
