Launching on Nintendo Switch and other platforms later this month is Whipseey and the Lost Atlas, an action-adventure platformer that reminds us of Nintendo's very own Kirby.

The game has you jumping around platforming levels and defeating enemies as a small, pink blob called Whipseey. In actual fact, you're playing as a boy called Alex - not that one - who has been transformed into the Kirby-like creature you see before you.

You'll need to jump and whip your way through the game's retro-inspired levels to help Whipseey solve the mystery of the Lost Atlas. As you'll notice in the trailer above, the Kirby comparisons continue through a number of cute little abilities which can be used to defeat enemies in different ways, and some of the enemies remind us of Mario villains, too.

It's launching on the Switch eShop on 27th August, with pricing set at $5.99 / £4.99.
