Press release:
K’jipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia, CA – 18 October 2024.
The Leamington -based (England) indie games publisher Secret Mode and jipuktuk/Halifax/Nova Scotia-based indie games developer Max Inferno, are today very glad and proud to announce that their cosy puzzle game “A Little To The Left”, is now available for the Nintendo Switch as a physical release in the shape of “A Little to the Left: Extra Tidy Edition” (the US version will drop on October 18th).

Players will discover a physical sticker puzzle tucked inside every copy to prepare them for the digital tidying treasure trove waiting in the game itself.

A Little to the Left: Extra Tidy Edition contains the bestselling, tidying-up puzzling sensation A Little to the Left, its two premium expansions Cupboards & Drawers and Seeing Stars, plus over 20 additional seasonal A Little to the Left levels and features, all neatly packed onto one Nintendo Switch cartridge, with no download code required to access the full library of puzzles. That’s over 160 household-themed puzzles in all, spanning dishevelled shelves, jumbled drawers, and messy dressers, all in need of rearranging.

A Little to the Left is also available now on iOS for both iPhone and iPad. Download the trial for free, featuring the first nine puzzles, along with three Daily Tidy puzzles – one per day across three days – and one additional puzzle from the Archive, all without any ads.

The full game is available for a one-time in-app purchase of $9.99/£9.99. Its DLC packs – Cupboards & Drawers and Seeing Stars – will also be coming to iOS alongside an Android release later this year.
