Now you can take on seven players in thrilling arcade style action deathmatches! Or simply get a few more people to help you get a few levels further in the challenging arcade mode, while not having to work out how you all fit round a single PC. 

So are you ready to take on the cube? Well grab your Cubot & fire your laser across 50 Arcade levels, and see if you have what it takes to unlock the secrets within. To succeed you will need to evade and annihilate deadly enemies & use your lightning fast reflexes to the fullest! This is a journey where only the best will survive! 

While I might be a bit biased, it wasn’t just me who thought Cubixx HD was a winner, with Official PlayStation Magazine UK calling it: “One of the most gloriously addictive, knuckle-bitingly frustrating experiences you can have on PSN.”  Eurogamer also gave it an 8/10, calling it: “Murderously addictive.” The Sixthaxis also awarded Cubixx HD with an 8/10, saying it: “Hovers on the cusp of absolute, delightful joy.” 

We’re hoping that this addition means that you can have even more fun, I certainly had a blast going back to testing out Cubixx HD. 

In other news, not only have we been hard at work porting some Japanese games to Switch for other publishers, but we’ve been working on another release of one of our favourites from the Laughing Jackal back catalogue. So keep your eyes on the blog as I’ll be returning soon for more news on that. 

Hi everyone!  

It’s time for you to slice your way to the Nintendo Switch eShop as Cubixx is out now priced at just £5.99, $7.49 (US), € 6,69. 

I’m personally incredibly excited for you to see the new and improved version of one of my favourite games I’ve worked on, so I really hope you all enjoy the classic arcade puzzling that Cubixx provides. 

Think you're ready to take on the cube?  Well grab your Cubot and fire your laser across 50 Arcade levels and see if you have what it takes to unlock the secrets within.  To succeed you will need to evade and annihilate deadly enemies & use your lightning fast reflexes to the fullest!  This is a journey where only the best will survive!  

If this wasn’t enough, your skills will be pushed to the limit in the brand new “Challenges” mode.  Here you will find 50 bespoke challenges that will really test your new-found Cubixx skills to the max.  These Challenges will require you to chase the highest scores, beat the fastest times, outsmart the bad guys & much more! 

On top of that there are over 150 hi-score tables across the 3 brand new Attack modes: Score Attack, Line Attack & Time Attack.  You can also grab some friends & play up to 4 local multiplayer co-op, in Arcade & Attack modes or engage in 4-player battles against your frenemies in Cubixx Deathmatch! 

It’s a really addictive classic, but don’t just take our word for it.  Check out these incredible reviews on PC & PS3: 

Eurogamer gave it 8/10, saying “The heroic thing about it all is that Laughing Jackal manages to reinvent Qix in a way that has evidently been completely beyond Taito for the past 30 years.  And if that's not a fitting tribute, I don't know what is.” 

ZTGD gave it 85%, saying “Cubixx HD is a worthy investment that offers up tons of challenging game modes in a package that not only looks great, but plays great as well.” 

One UP Gaming gave it 5 Stars, saying “Cubixx HD is a wonderful reinvention of a retro style that has seen countless iterations over the years, while managing to define itself as its own title. With fast, addictive levels and visuals that mesh brilliantly with the energetic soundtrack, this is one game you can’t afford to miss.” 

The Sixth Axis gave it 8/10, saying “... ultimately it’s a game founded on superbly honed, solid mechanics that even stretched over an impressive amount of game types doesn’t ever really feel tired” 

Defunct Games gave it a B+, saying “Just like the old school arcade games that inspired it, Cubixx HD is easy to pick up and impossible to put down.” 

We’ve also made some tweaks to the game to ensure that the Nintendo Switch version is even better than its previous two releases.  For example, new starting points are unlocked every single level, rather than every 5 levels. 

So hurry over to the eShop to get for the best version of this fantastic game!

Hi everyone. We’ve been busy working on a multi-platform release for another publisher, but we’ve also found time to put the finishing touches to a release of another classic Laughing Jackal game! The high octane, PS3 and PC action puzzler Cubixx HD will be making the journey to Nintendo Switch very soon, now simply called Cubixx! 

Think you're ready to take on the cube? Well grab your Cubot & fire your laser across 50 Arcade levels and see if you have what it takes to unlock the secrets within. To succeed you will need to evade and annihilate deadly enemies & use your lightning fast reflexes to the fullest! This is a journey where only the best will survive!

Here you will find 50 bespoke challenges that will really test your new found Cubixx skills to the max. These Challenges will require you to chase the highest scores, beat the fastest times, outsmart the bad guys & much more! 

On top of that there are over 150 leaderboards across the 3 brand new Attack modes, including: Score Attack, Line Attack & Time Attack. If all that isn’t enough then grab some friends & play up to 7 local multiplayer co-op, in Arcade & Attack modes or battle up against 7 of your worst enemies in Cubixx Deathmatch! 

It’s a really addictive classic, but don’t just take our word for it.  Check out these incredible reviews on PC & PS3:

I’ve loved working on Cubixx again, and I’m really excited to bring this fantastic game to a new group of players. 

It’s been a busy time here at Laughing Jackal lately as we’ve been hard at work for our friends at Aksys Games Localization, Inc., bringing the awesomely unsettling English version of Spirit Hunter: NG (Volume II) to PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam.) 

Spirit Hunter: NG is a wonderfully creepy horror visual novel created by Experience, and I’ve been having a fantastic time working on it!  The cast is a lot of fun to interact with, and the game is - and I really can’t emphasize this enough - *really* creepy, so if you like scary games, you will absolutely love this! :)

Sounds interesting, right?  Here’s what Aksys had to say about it: 

“NG is the second entry in the new Spirit Hunter series, and the companion story to last year’s award-winning horror adventure, Death Mark. Spirit Hunter: NG follows the story of a cursed young man on a life-threatening quest to discover who—or what—is responsible for the disappearance of his little sister. To save her, our protagonist must team up with shady characters, face down spirits of legend, and make difficult decisions that can greatly alter the outcome of the game. 

Can you save your sister and stop evil from destroying all that you hold dear? Or will you find yourself just another victim of an angry spirit?” 

So far, I’ve personally managed to finish one route through the game and I’m really looking forward to finishing the others, provided it’s in a well-lit room with plenty of furniture to hide behind when certain plot points crop up!  :)

I’d definitely say that this is a game well worth keeping your eyes on, if only to make sure that it doesn’t sneak up behind you... :)

Happy spirit hunting!
