Horace

Heartwarming pixel-art platformer with brutal gravity-shoe puzzles, stellar chiptune soundtrack and emotionally rich narrative.

An indie masterpiece for Switch that pairs a story-heavy, emotionally resonant prologue with smooth, intuitive platforming and expressive sprite art. Strengths include superb level design, masterful classical music, genuine humor, and metroidvania-style exploration built around a clever collect-a-thon gag; challenge stays fair thanks to instant respawns and infinite lives. The only real caveat is that it risks getting lost among the Switch's crowded indie library.
