SPINCH, PSYCHEDELIC-RETRO 2D PLATFORMER, GETTING NINTENDO SWITCH PHYSICAL EDITION AND VINYL SOUNDTRACK

New soundtrack and hard copy for 2d game Spinch.

In collaboration with developer Queen Bee and publisher Akupara Games, as well as sui generis cartoonist-creator Jesse Jacobs, iam8bit is thrilled to announce its exclusive physical edition of Spinch for Nintendo Switch, along with a vinyl release for its giddily circuit-bent soundtrack by avant-garde composer James Kirkpatrick

iam8bit’s physical edition for Nintendo Switch (priced at $34.99, expected to ship Q2 2021) is a true collaborative effort with Jacobs, who designed the artwork, a reversible cover sheet, and an exclusive illustrated zine to further expand the wacky outer worlds of Spinch. The region-free release will be compatible with systems worldwide.

For those hypnotized by Thesis Sahib’s acid-dipped Spinch soundtrack, a series of fantastical compositions created on a modified Game Boy and repurposed circuit-bent toys, iam8bit brings it to wax with a fittingly far-out, obscenely vibrant LP – complete with a gorgeous tricolor vinyl, die cut “Mouth Portal” jacket designed by Jacobs, and one of three limited-edition art prints. The Spinch vinyl LP is priced at $29.99, expected to ship Q3 2021.

Both releases are retro-styled to reflect the psychedelic, color-mad aesthetics of Spinch, a transportive side-scroller that explodes Jacobs’ illustrations out across a vibrant wonderland. As captured through Jacobs’ kaleidoscopic third eye, Spinch puts players in control of a hyper-agile organism, who moves through this interdimensional mess of astral pathways and alien artifacts on a quest to rescue its litter of missing offspring from an armada of misshapen oddities.
