Well here’s a nice Friday afternoon surprise from Nintendo… The Stretchers, a hybrid driving/puzzle game from Tarsier Studios, is now available to download for the Switch through the Nintendo eShop.
Players will need to become daredevil paramedics in The Stretchers, driving crazily across the game’s map to save the residents of a small town from a mad scientist known as Doctor Brains. But once they reach their patient, they’ll have to load them onto a stretcher and get safely back to the ambulance:
In The Stretchers, players take on the role of two medics who must work together to rescue Dizzies, troubled residents dizzied by the evil mastermind Captain Brains, in all kinds of wacky ways.
To rescue Dizzies, players will drive to each scene in their ambulance while breaking through walls, soaring through the sky and facing other perils along the way. Once they’ve arrived, players will need to pile Dizzies up on a stretcher (or grab them by their limbs) and bring them back to the trusty ambulance. Each player controls one of the two medics, so working together and passing a Joy-Con to a friend or family member to carry the stretcher, dodge dangers and overcome physics-based puzzles takes skillful coordination and communication.
The Stretchers, which has been priced at $19.99, was published by Nintendo themselves, and a Launch Trailer for the game has been embedded above.
