Independent developer Henchman & Goon is making its cooperative exploration game, Pode, available on Switch today.
Pode is an asymmetrical and cooperative puzzle game. It stimulates the mind and takes players on a rich adventure in which a shooting star and a rock must help each other to solve puzzles from another time. Pode offers a unique visual, inspired by Norwegian culture and also a soundtrack directed by Austin Wintory, a well-known Grammy-nominated composer. Pode emphasizes cooperation and friendship, all wrapped in a mystical universe.
"Today is a very special day, and we feel immense pride in seeing what Pode has become on Nintendo Switch," said Yngvill Hopen, Game Director and General Manager of Henchman & Goon. My family has been a great inspiration, which is why support, friendship and cooperation are recurring themes and a central element of the gameplay. I hope the game will be synonymous with many fun hours for our fans and new players. »
Pode is one of those "Nindies" planned on the Nintendo eShop for Switch this year. Thanks to their respective talents, the shooting star and the rock will be able to solve puzzles in a strange mountain. The game won the title of "Best Casual Game" at the Development Awards and was nominated in the "People's Choice Awards" and "Best Quality of Art" categories at GameConnection 2018.
