Must Dash Amigos has a simple premise; to win you must survive, and to survive you must dash! It very much pays homage to the classic gameplay of Micro Machines and has even been described as a spiritual successor to Micro Maniacs. With its own unique mix of humour and Mexican inspired theme, Must Dash Amigos offers something a little different in this year's kart-racer-revival.
“From the beginning we knew we wanted to create a true pick up and play experience. Something that was easy to master whether you were a young child, seasoned gamer, parent or grandparent! Getting people to share and enjoy a gaming experience in the same space was the most important thing." - Ben Lowther, miniBeast Games
Hilarity generally ensues during multiplayer sessions - which is what the title was designed to encourage - and the variety of wacky weapons on offer certainly add spice to proceedings. We won't give everything away, but if you've ever wanted to turn a friend, a partner or your kids into avocados and obliterate them with a giant comical mallet - buy this game right now!
“Being an 80’s kid, Nintendo was always the “family console” in my household. We'd always be able to find games that we could enjoy together. To be able to say that the game I've made is now a part of that incredible Nintendo history feels truly amazing and is an absolute honour” - Anthony Brunton-Douglas, miniBeast Games
Must Dash Amigos is the self-published debut title for miniBeast Game Studios. The Indie Studio consists of just two people, Ant (the artist) and Ben (the coder), two friends that met whilst working in Quality Assurance at Jagex. What had originated as a tiny - and by their own admission terrible - prototype following a Game Jam in 2015 steadily evolved into a fully featured, multi-platform game (it's also available on PC and Xbox One). Working in their spare time during evenings and weekends, the pair pursued their dream of completing and launching their very own game, a feat they are both extremely proud to have accomplished.
"9 years ago I was training to become an Architectural Technician. I only started learning how to code 4 years ago, and now I'm launching my very own game on the Nintendo Switch. It genuinely blows my tiny little mind!” - Ben Lowther, miniBeast Games
Must Dash Amigos proudly waves the flag for fans of couch multiplayer games. With wonderfully simple controls, a very short learning curve, and content appropriate for all ages, this could be a great addition to your gaming collection. And if that didn't convince you, the title is 60% off for the first 3 weeks of launch making it an absolute bargain!
It's available to buy now from the Nintendo eShop.
