The Deluxe version will have 300 new puzzles, some of which are bigger than those seen in previous entries, along with touchscreen controls and co-op. The full game isn&#8217;t out until 4th January, but today brings a festive demo that includes 12 themed puzzles of various sizes, with all functions (such as co-op) included.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content] <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/crawl\">Crawl<\/a> (Powerhoof) &#8211; $14.99USD \/ \u20ac14.99 \/ \u00a312.99<\/h2>\n<p>This dungeon-based game combines an awesome visual style with a clever local multiplayer concept &#8211; one player is the main protagonist, but up to three friends possess traps and monsters to try and kill them.

Similar techniques are cited as key to gameplay, and you use assorted &#8211; in some cases familiar &#8211; indie characters to bash others off the screen. We gave this a solid recommendation in our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/reviews\/switch-eshop\/brawlout\">Brawlout review<\/a>, even though it perhaps struggles to reach its full potential.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content] <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Developed by\u00a0Gulti, this is a vertically scrolling shooter that evidently goes big on its story, with three playable characters. One of the key selling points is that it&#8217;s a &#8216;wide-screen&#8217; shooter, designed to fill the entire width of the Switch screen. It&#8217;s certainly intriguing, though its price point could be problematic; it&#8217;s only out in North America today but should land in Europe soon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Those are today&#8217;s shiny new arrivals on the Switch eShop.
