The additional "hold my beer" mode adds new areas which really change the entire game. I spent more time on the first few puzzles vs the entire normal mode of the game. Don't overlook the new hard mode because it really feels like "part 2" for the game. You also get at least one more power up, the axe, and Ive only done the first few puzzles
Will definitely be getting this one. I watched a playthrough of it a while back, and it actually had me on the edge of my seat, I just had to know what he'd find inside the facility. It was just so surprisingly immersive. Watching it was every bit as exciting as watching a thriller or horror movie, so I'm really looking forward to playing it myself. I'm holding out for the physical edition though.
This looks cool. It's clear to see the graphical similarities to dead cells. I loved Dead cells but had to give up because I just couldn't get through it was too hard for me. Does this game have checkpoints or is it rogue like dead cells style? Will grab it in sale hopefully in the future!
Looks great! I'm still rubbish at gaming so the short play time and the fact there is only one boss are positives for me. Will probably take me at least twice as long to finish! Will definitely add to my wishlist as my backlog is way too big already.
Remember seeing this on your upcoming games it’s on my wish list , Deadcells is one of my favourite games. Happy days!! You just know they are going to have DLC for this bad boy!
IDK if this was a subconsious decision or a conscious one, but the Climb animation, right after a ladder is so beautifully strong. It's like, communication in animation, the strength of the firefighter's strength. v nice detail.
Solid review. I picked this up at launch after hearing it was the same dev behind Dead Cells. I've been slowly working my way through it, taking my time since it's a shorter game. So far, I'm really enjoying my time with the game. The story is surprisingly interesting, and the sound effects are spot on. It's always nice to see a great dev put out something new and different, even if it is "short and sweet" vs "long and deep." Good stuff.
The short length is not a deterrent for moi! But I wait for deep sales for all games regardless so a definite grab once it drops below $9.00 in my region
Given that I really struggle playing games through to the end, I might pick this one up just because it is short, and the concept and art style are really cool!
My gosh thnx again gents!!! I’d briefly heard about the game and that it was from the Dead Cells dev but it completely dropped off my radar and I didn’t snag it at the slight discount at launch but I favorited it and will likely deforest pick it up later! Thanks G&M!!!
This is SO WEIRD !!!!!! I have not only been LOOKING for a new 2D side scroller BUT…. My CURRENT FAVORITE GAME is Dead Cells, I am a Fire Fighting Contractor and also a GAME DEVELOPER who has been looking to make a fire fighting game 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is LITERALLY HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!
@@SwitchUpYtust an update 😂 born in 1987, first console was a NES and Gameboy…. Have owned every console since then… from PlayStations to Dreamcast… 😂 this is probably the 3rd game I’ve ever completed 😂😂😂 (excluding sports game season mode) I buy games because I love games but never really play them… pick up and play super casual gamer 😂 so this game was PERFECT for me.. MEGA THANKS for the recommendation! Kinda crazy how it ACTUALLY feels like you’re in an actual fire! Now on to Incryption !
At first glance, this doesn't seem like a fun time for me, however, now after seeing SwitchUp's nice, in-depth review and stamped with their seal of approval, I am much more interested in this title. The length is a negative for me but nothing a nice sale can't cure.
I saw the pre-sale for the physical.. couldn't find any reviews on the game and passed on it. I later found out it was done by the Dead Cell guy.. Now having second thoughts about picking it up.. looks fun..
Looks like a fun game. I don't mind short games in general, being a busy adult myself, as long as they make it worthwhile. Think I'll put it in my wishlist, for the far future where I'll stop playing TotK 😅. Also, I'm on holidays at the moment so can't check all your vids, but I'll come back to them once I'm back 👍🏼
I’m definitely going to buy this it’s been on my wish list for a while but that run is what’s making me wait on a sale, because it looks stunning. Definitely a single sitting playthrough of serious fun though to look forward to, cheers Glen 🫶
Getting this. It looks very much like the kind of game Gato Roboto was (I understand it’s not a Metroidvania, I mean about the gameplay and clear time), and that one ended up one of my favourites on Switch.
I’ve noticed this game a couple of times, and it’s on my wish list. Now you guys have reviewed it I’ll pick it up 👍🏻 Considering the developer, I’m guessing there may be more to come? 🤞🏻
It looks like an awfully lot of fun. I don't have any issues with a shorter game, but I have a feeling I will want it to go an hour or two longer just because I'm enjoying it so much
Yeah! More people need to know about this game. It's a great experience. Something creative and different, plus I love firefighters game! Good writing as well, sometimes very funny!
Maybe. It looks interesting. I've never played a fire fighting game - I wonder if my wife will find me more attractive? Doubt it. 😜 It's not set in Zaporozhye is it? 😳
Im bot terribly spoiler averae but theres a pretty huge spoiler right at the end of the review in the form of an in game document thats visible onscreen.
Graphics look terrible. Same red generic borders. Minimum motion in char, fire blobs just reused assets. Mario cement factory could compete with this game.

I picked it up day 1 then commentted how good it was for a week or so.
Looks like a lot of fun. I want it! 😋

Do you know if enabling thinkgs in the settings like the Extra Water power up disables trophies on Playstation??
Its a great game. I only got because knew it was from dead cells developer and it was very fun.
Will definitely be getting this one. I watched a playthrough of it a while back, and it actually had me on the edge of my seat, I just had to know what he'd find inside the facility. It was just so surprisingly immersive. Watching it was every bit as exciting as watching a thriller or horror movie, so I'm really looking forward to playing it myself. I'm holding out for the physical edition though.
On the wishlist, plan to get it eventually. I love short titles like this, make a nice palate cleanser between larger, more complex games.
This looks cool. It's clear to see the graphical similarities to dead cells. I loved Dead cells but had to give up because I just couldn't get through it was too hard for me. Does this game have checkpoints or is it rogue like dead cells style? Will grab it in sale hopefully in the future!
Hi! Did you know about the custom mode on Dead Cells? You can modify many things like enemy health and damage to make the game more accesible for you.
Looks great! I'm still rubbish at gaming so the short play time and the fact there is only one boss are positives for me. Will probably take me at least twice as long to finish! Will definitely add to my wishlist as my backlog is way too big already.
excellent review as always. Thanks for highlighting all the features and have a very good rating system! Thanks for having you!
Remember seeing this on your upcoming games it’s on my wish list , Deadcells is one of my favourite games. Happy days!!
You just know they are going to have DLC for this bad boy!
I love Dead Cells! Knowing how the Dead Cells devs do things i bet this game is gonna get lots of updates in the future.
IDK if this was a subconsious decision or a conscious one, but the Climb animation, right after a ladder is so beautifully strong. It's like, communication in animation, the strength of the firefighter's strength. v nice detail.
Can always count on you guys to put me onto some great hidden gems. Thanks mates! 👍
Cheers for watching mate! Mark
I have the physical preordered. Pushed back until August now 😮

Literally what drew me to this. Discovering it was from the Deadcells developer.

Same here. Im gonna get this but i'll wait for a sale.

Love that soundtrack!
I bet whoever made it is a fan of John Carpenter movies
I’d say so! Mark
This looks great I know I wish listed it and saw it on sale on one of my systems so I think I will probably buy it.

Booya!
Hahaha I guess that's an instant buy 😄
@@Mr.Vetkoek bought it before I even saw the final score 😭😭😭😭 playing it right now! Very nice little game!
@@SwitchUpYt 😭😭😭😭 you guys are THE BEST Nintendo switch RUclips channel! Also got FireGirl because of your review !!!

Now on to Incryption !
Ahhh, whys Australia not part of the Eshop card deal?
Ive been tempted to buy this for a while.
Sometimes a short game is everything I want. Thanks for the great review. It is already on my list 😀
Didn't realize this was released on Switch. Almost grabbed it to play on the Steam Deck when this was announced on an indie direct.
Being made by the same developer as Dead Cells got my interest instantly! Such a shame it's so short, I'm not really into short games
It's not short if you consider hold my beer mode. It's no Dead Cells, but nothing can be. Grab it. It is awesome
@@AARON-eu1pi I guess I'll grab it then. Thanks
I like the gameplay, audio, and concept; however I wish it was longer. I think I am leaning towards sale.
Very nice review. I will pick it up at some point, hoping for a sale.
It's on sale right now -- $4.99 US. I just picked it up.
At first glance, this doesn't seem like a fun time for me, however, now after seeing SwitchUp's nice, in-depth review and stamped with their seal of approval, I am much more interested in this title. The length is a negative for me but nothing a nice sale can't cure.
Is different I like it, maybe is short but we need to support this developer's to create more different games options
Yeah looks really cool! Mark
I saw the pre-sale for the physical.. couldn't find any reviews on the game and passed on it. I later found out it was done by the Dead Cell guy.. Now having second thoughts about picking it up.. looks fun..

Great game, and a great review as always guys!
A goos firefighter game!? Brings me back to Firemen on the SNES. Not similar at all but a wonderful game if people enjoy putting out fires
I’m definitely going to buy this it’s been on my wish list for a while but that run is what’s making me wait on a sale, because it looks stunning.
Definitely a single sitting playthrough of serious fun though to look forward to, cheers Glen 🫶
The wish list grows ever larger!! Haha! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt it’s insane bruv like over 300 at this point and I already own 650 games on Switch of which 530 are digital. I know. I have a problem 🤭🫶
I think this will go on the wishlist and wait for a sale first. Looks good but just seems a bit exey for what you get.
Thx, I was about to write the same. 15 euro is way too expensive for such a short game.
Getting this. It looks very much like the kind of game Gato Roboto was (I understand it’s not a Metroidvania, I mean about the gameplay and clear time), and that one ended up one of my favourites on Switch.
I’ve noticed this game a couple of times, and it’s on my wish list. Now you guys have reviewed it I’ll pick it up 👍🏻

It looks like an awfully lot of fun. I don't have any issues with a shorter game, but I have a feeling I will want it to go an hour or two longer just because I'm enjoying it so much
Even cooler Sebastian has the game base he used for this and dead cells available for any game devs.
If there's ever a sequel to this game I would love for it to be a Burning Rangers demake type game. Would be pretty cool.
After Fire Girl was disappointing, this fills that void. It's coming out physically as well, so I'll get it that way.
I don’t know… the game’s looks are amazing but I’m not big on side-scroll linear adventures. The sound is amazing tho
If it's the Dead Cells dev, it's gotta be great. Will pick this up at some point!
Yeah! More people need to know about this game. It's a great experience. Something creative and different, plus I love firefighters game! Good writing as well, sometimes very funny!
A great short game will always outmatch a good long game. "Leave while they want you to stay"
15 euro for a great short game is too much money
The title of the game was hard to see bc it was buried a bit so im just discovering this review based on your recent highest rated games video.
Looks like a nice little game!
Sometimes a review just really surprises you definitely picking this up that short game time suits me to a T at the moment
thanks guys
I hadn't seen this one
Just ordered it after your review
ALWAYS great content
Great channel
Great review
great game
I can’t believe it’s not butter!
I haven’t played another game since totk came out. This maybe one for the future though
This game looks really cool. Glad it came out on the Switch. I'll definitely pick this one up in the future.
Imagine if this game caused your switch to overheat, and you could only cool it down by successfully completing it. It would a 10/10 for sure!
I think this is going to go towards my patient list, and I'll probably get it at 50% in a year or two.
I really like the water mechanics here.
Maybe. It looks interesting. I've never played a fire fighting game - I wonder if my wife will find me more attractive? Doubt it. 😜
It's not set in Zaporozhye is it? 😳
Shame about the length but it looks good fun.
Hmmm I like it! Downloading to my steamdeck now!
Looks really interesting.
For sure a real gem! Mark
I hadn't seen this had dropped. was looking forward to it
I ended up with Rustler a few days ago, otherwise I would have enough for this game, so i hope Rustler is worth it.
25$ for a physical copy….I’ll wait.
Dead Cells is a great title so this is probably worth checking out
See yah!!
Made by a Dead Cells developer you say? Well color me interested! 😋
How much is this?
On sale $3 switch
Looks good 😎🤙👍👍
y'all don't get to use "hidden gem" after agreeing that totk is a hidden gem when it's a big budget AAA title
Im bot terribly spoiler averae but theres a pretty huge spoiler right at the end of the review in the form of an in game document thats visible onscreen.
cool concept!
Good Review
That's why I come here!!
Thanks for this one guys!
Pixel style, 2-D platformer, from dead cell maker... no need to tell me other wise. 100 on my backlog.
Ohh looks good but...Diablo 4... 🙈🙈
Haha Hold My Beer mode 😂
Definitely buying
just kind of getting burned out over these 16 bit gfx...
to bad switch users pay 3times the price of PC
Played it : worth it
Fired (excuse the pun) through this twice on PS. Addictive little game.
This looks amazing tbh.
Graphics look terrible. Same red generic borders. Minimum motion in char, fire blobs just reused assets. Mario cement factory could compete with this game.
This is hilarious, but for me? Pass.
This looks really hot. Want.
That character looks familiar somehow... ඞ
Gonna buy it
