Press release:
December 12, 2024 – Zaprešić, Croatia.
The Zaprešić-based (Croatia) indie games publisher Ocean Media and indie games developer Nenad Jalsovec, are today very happy and excited to announce that their action-packed platformer/runner “Rescue: The Beagles“, is now available for the Nintendo Switch in EU via the Nintendo Eshop.

That’s right – the most thrilling, high-speed beagle rescue mission can now be played on the go. Whether you’re commuting, cozying up on the couch, or hiding from your boss (we won’t tell), you can now take the action-packed adventure wherever you go!

In Rescue: The Beagles, you’ll take on the role of Nicole or Edwin, elite members of an animal rescue squad on a mission to save as many adorable beagles as possible after a cargo plane crashes in the remote Amita mountain range. The catch? These pups weren’t just any cargo – they were on their way to the notorious CutLab for testing. Now, the lab’s biohazard division is hot on your trail, determined to reclaim their “property.” Your job? Stay one step ahead and save every pup before they fall back into the wrong hands!

This action-packed platformer/runner blends classic 8-bit arcade vibes with a modern twist, offering an exciting parallax-based gameplay experience. You’ll run, jump, and parachute through colorful procedurally generated levels, using your wits and skills to outmaneuver lab grunts, vivisectors, and biohazard agents. And if you think you’ve got it under control, think again – you can even command owls as your weapon of choice against the lab’s relentless forces!

The game also features:

Challenging, fast-paced action inspired by the golden age of arcades.

Unique parallax-based gameplay that keeps the adrenaline pumping.

Stylish minimalist graphics and dynamic color palettes that change every playthrough, adding a fresh vibe each time.

Shared screen co-op and PvP modes, so you can team up or compete with a friend in rescuing the pups.

Skill upgrades like ‘Beagle Magnetism’ and the power of ‘Goji Berry Digestion’ to help you enhance your abilities.

Currently available on Steam, Rescue: The Beagles has now arrived on Nintendo Switch globally. The game is set to release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X soon. Whether you’re a rookie rescuer or a seasoned pro, it’s time to step up, get your parachute ready, and save those pups – because no beagle deserves a life without belly rubs!

Nenad Jalšovec commented:

“I’m thrilled to bring Rescue: The Beagles to Nintendo Switch! This game holds a special place in my heart, as it was inspired by real-life events from my hometown.
