If you’re a fan of oldschool 3D platformers, you might want to be on the lookout for Kero Quest 64 at some point in the future.
This Kickstarter project by Stratobox has officially reached its “Switch port stretch goal” after banking more than $25,000 USD. It’s a “collectathon 3D platformer inspired by other games in the genre” and is a project in partnership with GalaxyTrail (Freedom Planet).
What’s perhaps more interesting at this point in the Switch’s life is the mention of a possible Switch “successor” release. Here’s the full message from the team about this and the latest milestone:
Holy Ribbity! We really cannot believe that we reached the Switch Port goal at all! We all grew up playing Nintendo games, and it was always our dream to see a project of ours on a Nintendo console, and now it will be reality! We will work hard and ensure that the game works and runs perfectly on the Nintendo Switch. Maybe we can be bold and also say that it might also come to the successor of the Nintendo Switch? Whatever the name of that ends up being, if the occasion offers itself, we will try our best to release Kero Quest 64 on it too!
We will work hard so bakers can choose between a Switch key or a Steam key at launch too! PS: While we will do our best to offer the choice, we don’t know how Nintendo handles game keys yet. We’ll make an update once we know for sure!
Thank you so much again for all your support, and we are working HARD on the game as we speak! Here’s a sneak peak of a new enemy we’re working on! It’s quite bugged at the moment though…
The campaign still has 12 days to go, with a few additional stretch goals available including a second DLC pack and a “popular indie character DLC pack”.
In Kero Quest 64, you’ll take control of Kero – who can hop, jump and use his tongue to grab and grapple. There’ll be more than 20 open levels to work through as you go on a quest to gain magical sharts and collect various other items such as gold coins and unlockable costumes.
You can see it on display in the trailer above and there’s also a demo you can download right now on Steam.
