Publisher Fantastico Studio and developer Katata Games today announced Top Run for Switch. The retro-stylish runner, which has platforming and shooting elements, is due out in early February.

Here’s an overview of Top Run:

Top Run is an endless runner. Also a platformer. Also a shooter. It’s a unique take on endless runners in the style of 80’s. Play as Kevin and his dog Buddy and make your way through the neon city full of dangerous enemies. The game has a unique old school style with neon, pixel art, a bit of outrun, tiny piece of synthwave, scanlines, VHS effects. What else anyone would want in a retro arcade game?
