'Pitfall Planet' (ALL) - New Screens & Trailer

Pitfall Planet is a couch/co-op puzzle adventure (but can be played solo) where players each control a small robot with the goal of working as a team to overcome obstacles and puzzles to reach the end of each level.

Featuring the cutest pair of robots this side of the Milky Way, Pitfall Planet’s action takes place on a distant, forgotten mining world. Play as two astrobots, who after being stranded and separated from their ship, must traverse the subterranean caves of the ruined planet, overcoming its many perils in the process.

In Pitfall Planet, you and your friend are equipped with the latest and greatest in astro-mining technology. Players can use their grappling hooks to pick up objects (including each other!) and throw them over gaps or cliffs. To collect all the ore in each level, you'll learn to master the art of teamwork! With the help of your buddy, activate otherwise unreachable buttons and levers, navigate to higher areas using crates with the help of your buddy, hop across sections with bouncy pads and overcome rockets, tanks, and more!

As if hours of challenging puzzle-based gameplay is not enough, players can then spend their gems upgrading the two protagonists with a range of fancy headwear to make them the best-dressed robots on the planet, perhaps even the galaxy.

Originally created and released on PC by Bonfire Games, Pitfall Planet’s gorgeous graphics, challenging gameplay and abundance of humor and charm make it a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch and its couch-based co-op gameplay.
