GravBlocks+ was announced for the Wii U last June. On Thursday, the game will finally launch on the eShop.

Here’s the official overview:

GravBlocks+ is a new and different take on the traditional match-three style puzzle game. Rather than building combos the old fashioned way, the gameplay is designed around strategic planning and changing gravity and earn Score Multipliers. However, it’s not as easy as it sounds! The walls are filled with Destruction Hazards, and dropping blocks into those Hazards instantly resets the Score Multiplier. Using a Wild Block closes the Hazards making gravity changes safer, but players need to plan well for these moments!

This exclusive Wii U eShop game features:

Five gameplay modes with animated backgrounds!
Saving high scores for Challenge and Zen modes!
80 Accomplishments, with nearly 20 unlockables!
Insane alien abduction story with over 90 levels!
150 challenging puzzles!
Off-TV play, left or right-handed options, and color-blind friendly!

GravBlocks+ was originally planned for release last summer. It’s unknown why its development took longer than expected, but it won’t be much longer until it comes to the eShop.

VD-Dev is currently working on an IronFall Invasion patch intended to address player feedback. According to co-founder Fernando Velez, it will be possible to “expand the range of speed for movements and camera controls”, and some bugs will be addressed as well. It should be out in around March.

As for what could arrive in the somewhat distant future, Velez said VD-Dev is “hoping to create a more ambitious update.” This will largely be based upon player feedback. IronFall Invasion could potentially see an expanded campaign, or additions to multiplayer. New missions/weapons might also be possible.

Velez told Nintendo Life:

This summer, if the game has found its audience, we are hoping to create a more ambitious update. But the contents of this update will depend a lot on what the players request, for instance on Miiverse. Maybe users request more contents for the campaign, or for multi-player? Maybe they want new missions or new weapons as DLC? We’ll learn more in the coming weeks. We also expect to have a better view of eventual balance issues this spring, once some players have truly mastered the multiplayer. If we rush to fix everything too quickly, we might be caught up in useless changes.

Astral Breakers is coming to the Wii U eShop, indie developer Intropy Games has announced. The action-puzzle game is scheduled to launch in June.

Below is a brief overview:

The Zodiac Constellations have gone berserk, putting the entire cosmos in jeopardy. Out of options, the cantankerous Kira the Star is forced to recruit none other than you to help put things back in order.

Choose from any of the twelve Signs of the Zodiac and start fighting for the future of the cosmos in an epic sphere-splitting, breaker-bashing, combo-crushing puzzle battle!

In Astral Breakers, players are tasked with filling their opponent’s playfield with Astral Spheres. This is done by destroying Spheres on their own playfield using Breakers, which sends them to the opposition. Victory is achieved when the opponent’s playfield is full.

Intropy Games is also including a Super Nova mode. Here players “work together to prevent an exploding star from dropping metric tons of spheres on BOTH players’ fields”. It’s also possible to create unique Zodiac Signs in the Custom Zodiac mode.

Here’s the full rundown of Astral Breakers’ features:

A fully-featured action puzzle drop game for one or two players.
Challenge the AI in a head-to-head battle, or help Kira save the cosmos in Story Mode.
Battle a friend in Versus mode.
Choose from 12 different Zodiac Signs, each with unique properties.
Create your own Zodiac Sign complete with customized name and attack pattern.
Team up in the cooperative SuperNova mode.
