EarthNight Heads to Switch in Fall 2019

Cleaversoft have announced EarthNight will be coming to Nintendo Switch.

The game is launching for the hybrid console sometime this fall, alongside its planned Windows PC (via Steam) and PlayStation 4 versions.


Described as a “runner for people who hate runners” the game has you reclaim Earth after it has been taken over by dragons. You can find the full run-down below:

Dragons have taken over the Earth!

It’s up to Sydney and Stanley to stop them.

EarthNight is an illustrated procedurally generated platformer that takes place in a dystopian future just after the dragon apocalypse. Humans have been exiled to space, forced to live in orbit above the planet. But Sydney and Stanley have had enough! They’ve decided to skydive back down to the planet, taking out as many dragons as they can along the way.

Each run begins in space. You must traverse five layers of the atmosphere on the perilous journey down to Earth alternating between skydiving and running on the backs of dragons. Your path to EarthNight will always be different and riddled with danger.

  • Jump and dash your way across the backs of dragons on your way down to Earth in classic 2D side-scrolling action.
  • Unlock more than 35 gameplay-altering powerups that will aid you on your journey as you slay dragons and discover secrets.
  • Experience a unique run no matter how many times you play thanks to near-infinite variations of hand designed, procedurally generated levels.
  • Explore five layers of the atmosphere all brought to life by artist Mattahan, who meticulously painted each of EarthNight’s 10,000+ frames of art and animation.
  • Enjoy an original, exciting soundtrack intertwined into gameplay, including more than 20 songs written and performed by chiptune musician Chipocrite.
