Fabraz has more in store for its 2D platformer Slime-san. Today, the developer shared details on what’s next for the game.

Switch owners will have access to the “Blackbird’s Kraken” DLC not too long from now. Fabraz intends to have it ready “in the next two months.” The free DLC features a new campaign with its own story and boss, 25 new levels (with New Game+), a new hub world, new mini-games, new target modes, new settings, online leaderboards for all levels, and more.

That’s not all. Those who haven’t jumped in on Slime-san will be able to try out the game soon. Fabraz is finishing up a demo and will be submitted to Nintendo soon.

Fabraz, developer of Slime-san, had this to say in regards to working with Nintendo and the Switch:

(Nintendo has) been very supportive with us. We met some of them back at GDC and a few weeks later we were invited to become certified Nintendo Switch developers. Since then, whenever there was a problem, they were very responsive to any of our inquiries.

I’m INCREDIBLY grateful to have gotten the opportunity to release a game on one of their systems. Can’t overstate that enough!

In the case of the port from PC to Switch, it took them just a couple of months. Most of the issue that they had with the port was the result of trying to use the default resources of Unity as they learned the hardware. A little over a year! The porting process to the Switch was around 2-3 months, QA included. It was, honestly, pretty seamless. Unity and Nintendo did some prep work and the porting process wasn’t too hard.

Fabraz has been tinkering away on Slime-san, a new platformer for Wii U and a number of other platforms. If all goes well, we’ll be seeing it on the eShop by the end of next April.

Here’s the game’s premise:

Slime-san was minding its own business, sliming around in a peaceful forest when suddenly…A giant worm appeared and gobbled it up! Now deep within the worm’s belly, Slime-san has to face a decision: Be digested by the incoming wall of stomach acid… Or jump, slide and slime its way through the worms intestines and back out its mouth!

And a rundown of features:

• Incredibly fast-paced and twitch-timing platforming madness!
• No time to stay still as you are chased by a wall of acid at every corner! Run, run, run!
• Being a slime has its perks. Slime your way through cracked walls and surfaces!
• Bust through brittle obstacles or tens situations with a speedy dash move.
• Slime to slow time, dash to speed it up. Feel like an absolute badass with pixel precise maneuvers!
• A game filled with content, over 75 levels! Each one has its unique enemies, items and obstacles that will require you to stay alert at all times!
• Collect partially-digested apples to unlock different play styles, outfits, shaders and mini games!
• Get your shopping done in a town of survivors within the worm, home to colorful characters and surprising secrets.
• Each level is timed with online rankings, for the competitive and score-oriented.
• Unlock extra game modes like New Game+, Speed Running and Boss Rush modes!
• Get engrossed in a flexible, 4 colored, pixelated world…found… within… the worm?
• Adhesive Wombat, Tiasu, MegaNeko, Kommissar, Richard Gould… Over 10 composers contributed with over 20 songs for a chiptune album that you can’t help but groove out to!

Planet Diver has players taking on the role of an interstellar wingsuit diver out looking for thrills. Here’s the overview from the game’s Steam page:

You’ll dive through a variety of deadly and exotic planets, fighting off the flora and fauna of each locale, while collecting valuable star stuff to further fund your adventures.

Use your hard earned rewards to fly to more distant planets, as well as to acquire new outfits and special ability modifiers! Along the way you can compete online for the best dive or try to unlock rewards by completing tough challenges. Careful how deep you dive though… Who knows what slumbers within the planet’s core?

– A vibrant setting with a fun, quirky story to explore in the depth of space!
– A cool astro shop full of unlockables like diving suits, modifiers and music!
– Competitive leaderboards for the score junkies out there!
– Plenty of hidden easter eggs that can be found throughout the extensive planet surfaces you explore!
