On October 30, Meridiem will release a physical edition of Goodboy Galaxy for Nintendo Switch. This pixel-art platformer, inspired by 90s classics, will include Spanish subtitles. We control Maxwell, a dog who travels through various worlds after the threat of destruction of his home planet, with levels featuring multiple paths and over 50 characters.
Technical development and classic mechanics with modern touches 🎮
Goodboy Galaxy offers a range of abilities that go beyond basic jumping and shooting. The protagonist dog can shrink to access narrow areas or teleport to bypass obstacles. Each level features multiple paths and boss fights that demand precision. The game runs at 60 frames per second on Switch, with an engine that emulates the fluidity of 16-bit titles without sacrificing controller response.
A dog with more skills than your tech-savvy neighbor 🐶
Maxwell doesn't just bark; he shrinks, shoots, and teleports. Meanwhile, your real dog probably only knows how to beg for kibble and sleep on the couch. Goodboy Galaxy makes you feel like even a canine has more resources than you to get out of a jam. And on top of that, he does it with a hat and an aesthetic that would make any 90s pet cry with envy.
