The Planets Await in the Sputnika Game
Looking for a cute new puzzle game to play on Nintendo Switch? Indie developer egunan has released Sputnika Game, a space-themed take on the popular Suika-style formula. The game is now available on the Nintendo eShop for $2.99, with a 15% launch discount reducing the price to $2.54.
In Sputnika Game, players take control of the adorable Sputnik and help it on a cosmic journey to become the Sun. The goal is simple: merge matching planets to create larger celestial bodies and work your way through the solar system.
However, Sputnika Game adds a unique twist to the familiar formula with its cosmic gravity system. Instead of relying solely on traditional falling-object mechanics, players must consider how gravity affects the planets. You can even target the opposite side of planets, adding another layer of strategy to each move.
There are 10 different planets to discover, each representing a different stage of the journey toward becoming the Sun. Players will need to carefully manage their growing collection of celestial bodies, as letting a planet escape the bubble results in an instant game over.
The planets also bring plenty of personality to the experience. They can smile, greet one another, and interact as you continue merging them across the solar system.
With its adorable presentation and easy-to-understand mechanics, Sputnika Game offers a charming little cosmic puzzle experience that could be worth checking out on Switch.
