Even video game companies have been getting in on the action recently &#8211; with Nintendo promoting <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild\">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/a><\/strong> in a unique &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2019\/03\/random_nintendo_jumps_on_the_asmr_bandwagon_with_the_legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild\">sights and sounds<\/a>&#8221; clip not long ago.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Australian-based developer SMG Studio \u2013 responsible for the wonderful co-op puzzle game <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/death_squared\">Death Squared<\/a><\/strong> and other titles such as <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/super_one_more_jump\">Super One More Jump<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 has hopped on the bandwagon by releasing a 25-minute ASMR video to help prepare &#8220;your mind and your body&#8221; for its latest Switch eShop release, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/otttd\">OTTTD<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In case you&#8217;re wondering, the title stands for &#8220;Over The Top Tower Defense&#8221; according to the developer and the entire video above explains much more about the game. If you don&#8217;t have time to set aside 25 minutes to watch it \u2013 <strong>and find one of the 20 hidden eShop codes within the video<\/strong> \u2013 then here&#8217;s a bit more about the game directly from the developer PR:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We describe the game as \u201cSpaceballs meets Starship Troopers\u201d. But anyone under 30 has no idea what Spaceballs is (their loss) and legal said we wouldn&#8217;t be allowed to say that&#8230; so we fall back on \u201cIt\u2019s an anything-goes TD game that doesn\u2019t take itself seriously.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As for the story, here&#8217;s what it is about:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The year is 2136. You work for HEROCORP\u2122, the universe\u2019s 4th largest private military force. Your job is to \u2018preemptively defend\u2019 the Earth against alien dimensions. As long as you complete the missions under budget and fill out the TPS reports in triplicate, everything goes smoothly. Dimensional travel is facilitated by HEROCORP\u2122 rift technology, which is kinda like Stargate but we\u2019re hesitant to throw that in the mix when we\u2019ve already mentioned Starship Troopers. Is pre-emptively defending Earth ethical? Who cares when the money\u2019s good!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>The game includes 25 story missions, three difficulty levels, 12 tower types, seven heroes and multiple weapons, skills, abilities and armour options to choose from. If that wasn&#8217;t enough, the Switch version even has some special Easter Eggs:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We know the Switch players take their game icons seriously, so we\u2019ve set up Death Squared &amp; OTTTD\u2019s icons to form the first part of a triptych. We\u2019ll be updating Super One More Jump and all our future games to form one continuous artwork.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"OTTTD\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5c4adff947266\/otttd.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5c4adff947266\/otttd.900x.jpg\" alt=\"OTTTD\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>And lastly, here&#8217;s the <em>proper<\/em> trailer:<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-grtsZEpeII?rel=0&amp;hd=1&amp;showinfo=0&amp;modestbranding=0&amp;autohide=1&#038;w=900&#038;h=507]<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>Have you downloaded this game from the Switch eShop yet?
