Howdy mild readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for April tenth, 2024. It’s that sluggish day of the week the place not a lot is occurring, and we’re not bucking the development this time. I’ve obtained a Mini-View for you of a little bit puzzler referred to as StoryBlocks: The King, summaries of some new releases, and the standard lists of recent and expiring gross sales. Don’t fear, tomorrow will greater than make up for this quiet day of releases. I’m already dreading it. Let’s take pleasure in in the present day!
Opinions & Mini-Views
StoryBlocks: The King ($4.99)
You understand, I’m by no means notably bothered when poorly thought-out controls drag down a Swap port of a middling recreation. No, it’s after they wreak havoc on a recreation that I’d in any other case in all probability take pleasure in a good bit that I get peeved. That’s sadly what has occurred with StoryBlocks: The King. This needs to be a relaxed recreation of inserting items and benefit from the branching story, even when it’s not the best of tales. However making an attempt to place the items and get them to connect is extremely irritating because of the skittish stick controls and required precision. It’s disagreeable to play.
StoryBlocks: The King would in all probability be a good time on a platform the place you should use the mouse controls it was clearly designed for. Over right here on Swap, extra care wanted to be taken to make the sport snug to play on a controller. Nothing the sport does is particularly well worth the agitation of merely making an attempt to carry out the fundamental capabilities of the gameplay. Disgrace, because it looks as if it might in any other case be an gratifying, chill puzzler.
SwitchArcade Rating: 3/5
New Releases
SokoFrog ($4.99)
Nicely, that’s the type of day Wednesdays are. It’s a Sokoban-style crate-pusher with a little bit frog doing the work. You get a good 150 phases to play, and for what it’s price it does throw in some gimmicks each occasionally to attempt to maintain you in your toes. I believe if you happen to like Sokoban video games, you’ll take pleasure in this. And if you happen to don’t, this isn’t going to vary your thoughts.
Bakery Simulator ($16.99)
This one comes from the identical writer as Electrician Simulator, and you’ll roughly anticipate that very same consideration to element right here. You understand, besides utilized to baked items. You must also anticipate comparable points with the port, like an ungainly interface and a few hard-to-read textual content. This doesn’t appear to have gone over notably nicely on another platform, and it’s definitely not shining its brightest right here.

Gross sales

Hmm. Seven bucks for Chasm: The Rift is beginning to really feel like a great jump-in worth for individuals who like boomer shooters and may forgive and even love a little bit of jank.
