All Hands on Deck Launches on Nintendo Switch: Studio Mantasaur Unveils Cooperative Adventure

Studio Mantasaur has officially launched its latest title, All Hands on Deck, on the Nintendo Switch, accompanied by a captivating launch trailer released this week.

The innovative two-player cooperative adventure introduces Nintendo Switch users to a fresh and engaging gameplay experience, now available via the Nintendo eShop. All Hands on Deck invites players into a whimsical day-care scenario where every plush toy has mysteriously vanished.

Players take on the role of helpful hands—each belonging to a different child—venturing through imaginative fantasy worlds designed to evoke a sense of playfulness and camaraderie. In a recent statement, Studio Mantasaur described the game as “a playful and wholesome journey where creativity and teamwork make every challenge enjoyable,” highlighting its approachable design and unique control scheme.

The adventure spans three distinct worlds, each packed with intricate puzzles, hidden secrets, and dynamic challenges that encourage collaborative problem-solving. A standout feature of All Hands on Deck is its versatile local and online co-op modes, allowing two players to navigate the adventure together without the need for a split-screen.

This seamless cooperative design enhances the sense of teamwork as players interact with the colorful environments by jumping, grabbing, snipping, punching, and sharing high-fives. Gameplay mechanics revolve around creative transformations—players can switch between Rock, Paper, and Scissors appearances, each granting special abilities such as punching through obstacles, grabbing and tossing objects, or snipping paths forward.

These transformations enable dynamic interaction with the environment while encouraging players to strategize and combine their efforts. Throughout each world, players can discover a variety of inventive tools, including extendable arms to reach new heights, rubber bands used as slingshots, and paint for colorful traversal.

Many tools can be combined for enhanced effect, adding depth and variety to the cooperative experience.

Cosmetics and appearance-altering items can also be unlocked, giving players further customization and replay value as they explore every secret and overcome additional challenges. All Hands on Deck is now live on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop, already drawing attention for its innovative co-op gameplay and family-friendly design.

Studio Mantasaur continues its tradition of bringing inventive, accessible adventures to the Nintendo Switch platform, further expanding its portfolio of unique indie experiences. For those interested in experiencing a new take on cooperative play, All Hands on Deck is now available to purchase and download.
