Couch co-op is still alive and well, even if you’re used to playing with friends online. When it comes to a local multiplayer experience, the game doesn’t always need to be complex. Any excuse to plan a game night with friends is worth the time. Balloony, a mobile cozy platformer, is now coming to Switch to make its claim for your next couch co-op night, and in terms of cozy experiences that you can play while catching up with friends and family, it’s a great option.

JOID Games originally launched the game on mobile devices. Balloony took off as a casual platformer with cute art and earned over 210,000 downloads across the on-the-go platforms. The concept clearly resonated with a lot of people thanks to its simplicity and clean execution. Players spent time happily floating and collecting bubbles. Now, you can invite up to 3 friends to join this adventure in exclusive local 1-4 player multiplayer on Nintendo Switch.

Like a lot of platformers, you’ll see familiar aspects throughout your experience in Balloony. An overworld map invites you to collect bubbles and stars on different levels. As you and up to three friends divide and conquer to collect everything there is to collect across 6 islands and nearly 70 levels, you’ll face bosses, see new environments, and do it all in a smooth 60 FPS. With a lot to love about multiplayer experiences that allow you to wind down and enjoy each other’s company, Balloony feels right at home in the Nintendo Switch cozy casual library.

The bubble-collecting platformer is out now on Nintendo Switch and is priced at $4.99 USD. Let us know if you plan to pick this up for your next couch co-op night with friends in the comments!
