Youropa finally releasing on Switch in October

Youropa, which was first announced for Switch in 2019, finally has a release date. A listing for the game just popped up on the Japanese eShop, and the game is launching on October 6, 2022.

Youropa was originally revealed in an August 2019 Indie World Showcase, but we haven’t seen much of it since then. The game is described as “a gravity defying puzzle platform paint adventure, about breaking rules, being upside down and thinking outside the box.”

Here’s some additional information:

When Youropa is torn apart, you must use your unique abilities to navigate all sides of a strange fragmented city, in order to restore it to former glory and learn who you really are.

You (short for Youropean) are a small humanoid with suction cups instead of feet, which allows you to walk up walls and on ceilings. You will encounter physical puzzles, riddles, ferocious enemies, environmental hazards and more, in an abstract but logical universe that challenges your perception of the third dimension.

In this strange world, all the characters are kept alive only be a thin layer of paint. You can, of course, paint your character exactly how you want, but beware: If you scratch off the paint from falling or getting wet, it’s game over.

Also included is a creator mode that allows you to build and edit your own levels all while playing them. In fact, all the levels in the main game were built inside the game itself!

For those that need a refresher, we’ve included a previous trailer for Youropa below.
