GameClub Launches 5th Cell’s ‘Run Roo Run’ in Early Access, Announces Rocketcat’s ‘Super QuickHook’ For Next Week

The heroes over at GameClub, who have endeavored to bring back some of the App Store’s lost classics, have continued to hit their promised weekly release mark with a new lost classic released today for their Early Access program on Testflight. This week’s release is 5th Cell’s hit 2012 auto-run platformer Run Roo Run. Coming at a time when most runners were pretty basic endless affairs, Run Roo Run offered more than 400 finely crafted levels as well as a number of different mechanics that could be layered on top in addition to the typical jumps and slides of other games. It really felt like it paved the way for more skill-based runners like the Rayman Run series, and we loved Run Roo Run in our original review from more than 7 years ago. Now GameClub is bringing it all back and as of today you can play it through their Early Access program.

This marks the eighth GameClub Early Access release since the company was unveiled early last month, following other classic reissues Wooords, Sword of Fargoal, Zombie Match Defense, Incoboto, Chopper 2, Cubed Rally World, and long-time TouchArcade favorite Hook Champ from Rocketcat Games. And speaking of Rocketcat, today GameClub has announced a second Rocketcat game to be getting the GameClub treatment, and that would be none other than Hook Champ’s 2010 sequel Super QuickHook. As any good sequel should do, Super QuickHook took the razor sharp swinging mechanics of Hook Champ and amped everything up to 11 with an entire new story campaign to play through and an exhilarating endless mode to master. It also bumped the visuals up from “8-bit inspired" to “16-bit inspired" and featured that awesome Rocketcat pixel art we’ve come to know and love over the years.

Super QuickHook will be arriving in the GameClub Early Access program next Monday, and if you want to get in on that as well as all the other games I’ve just mentioned that are already in Early Access, not to mention the many more that are coming down the pipe on a weekly basis, then head over to the GameClub website to sign up for their Early Access program. I mean, it’s free, so why the heck wouldn’t you?

‘Franz’ is a Strange Mashup of Texting-Based Adventure and “Angry Tamagotchi” from the Makers of ‘Pathologic’ and ‘Knock-Knock’

That is quite a headline, but, Franz is the kind of gaming experience that can’t be easily summarized. It’s an ambitious and unique new project from developer Ice-Pick Lodge, who made their name with the open-world horror FPS Pathologic and have also dabbled in mobile with their truly weird survival horror title Knock-Knock Game , which we reviewed back in 2014 . Ice-Pick has grown to become a fan-favorite developer due to their somewhat twisted and unconventional take on developing and storytelling, and “twisted and unconventional" are two extremely apt descriptors for their upcoming title Franz . What even is Franz ? I guess if you had to summarize, Ice-Pick describes it as “a hybrid between an SMS novel and an angry version of tamagotchi" but it also seems like the type of thing that doesn’t really have anything else before it to compare to. You can watch a very cryptic teaser trailer just below followed by a fascinating behind-the-scenes video where the game’s art dire...

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for July 31st, 2019. I managed to spend half of my birthday sick in bed, but I got a sweet birthday cake from my wife and some nice Spider-Man loot, so it’s hard to be upset. In today’s article, we’ve got a review of the recent shoot-em-up release Pawarumi , summaries of today’s trio of new releases, some tasty news bits, and a bunch of cool sales to dig into. Let’s roll into it! News ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’ Now Features the Hero from ‘Dragon Quest’ I actually got a prediction right for once! Praise me!

There are other Dragon Quest -related items that have been added to the game alongside him, like new Mii Fighter costumes and such. If you...

SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!’, ‘Moero Chronicle Hyper’, and Other New Releases, Ridiculous Amounts of Sales, and More

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for Monday, April 29th. You may have noticed that there was no SwitchArcade on Friday. I had a bit of a medical emergency and it just wasn’t possible to put anything together. Sorry! But I’m okay now, and as such I’ve decided to catch up on everything I missed. No news or reviews today, but watch for those to make their returns tomorrow. Let’s catch up! New Releases Panty Party ($14.99) I still can’t believe this is a real game that exists and is available on the Nintendo eShop. But here we are. Take control of one of a large variety of flying panties and use your special abilities to attack the enemy panties. That sentence describes a real video game. Given that the game is rated E10+, you probably shouldn’t expect anything too provocative here. Rather, it’s a sort of absurdity that you play just to see stupid-looking situations. And you can even play four-player split-screen, provided you can find three friends that w...
