A new puzzle game inspired by y2k-era visual design, CROSSNIQ+, has been announced for Nintendo Switch.

CROSSNIQ+ is scheduled to launch on Nintendo Switch in Q3 2019. The game supports various gameplay modes such as Endless Mode, Time Attack, Versus, and Chillout.

Check out the first trailer and details:

CROSSNIQ+ (CROSS-neek plus) is a speed-focused, arcade-style puzzle game inspired by “y2k-era” visual design – a tribute to highly polished, small-scope Japanese games from the late 90’s.

In CROSSNIQ+, the name of the game is re-arranging a grid of tiles to form “crosses” – rows and column of the same color. You can move tiles up, down, left or right – but moving them off the edge of the grid makes them wrap back to the other side, offering a unique and brain-bending challenge that’s been compared to “a match game mixed with a color cube”. Unlike other popular puzzle games, CROSSNIQ+ focuses on speed and technique rather than chains or combos – make crosses quickly and set up multi-crosses to earn bonuses.

In Endless mode, keep making crosses to keep your timer filled – let it hit empty, and your game is over. In Time Attack, your time is a set amount – earn as many points as you can before the buzzer sounds. Play against a friend in Versus, complete with items and special moves… or simply relax to a variety of different, aesthetically striking skins in Chillout mode, where there’s no score, timer, or game overs. No matter your playstyle, there’s a mode in CROSSNIQ+ for you!
