Press release:
Denver, CO – April 14th, 2022.
The Denver-based (the US) indie games publisher Versus Evil and Tampere-based (Finland) indie games developer Nighthouse Games, today announced with great excitement and happiness that their hardcore 2D action platformer “Sockventure” is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop.

“Sockventure” brings super fast, eye catching gameplay with its stunningly colorful graphics and frenetic 2D platform action over 200 handcrafted levels across 7 chapters. Developed by Nighthouse Games players take on the role of Supersock, a superhero tasked with finding all the missing socks inside a cursed washing machine.

Precision-based gameplay and split second timing are essential to navigate the intricately designed levels filled with deadly hazards such as fire, lasers, circular saws and other dangerous threats.

Sockhero can acquire new skills during his deadly sock retrieval mission, wall jumping, double jumping, dashing and stomping help him navigate the myriad of colorful levels and devious hazards in the search for lost socks. Sockhero can also collect coins scattered throughout the levels which unlock dark chapters, presenting a whole new platforming challenge without auto-run.

“Sockventure brings a fantastic mix of difficulty, depth, vibrant level design and rapid fun gameplay.” said Steve Escalante General Manager of Versus Evil.

“We are excited to bring Sockventure to Nintendo Switch and know that fans of this genre are getting one of the best platformers to grace our lineup of releases in 2022”
