Description

Flynn’s Arcade has officially announced that Flora & Fang, its charming pixel art platformer, will launch on Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop on July 10, 2025.

Priced at $6.99, the title will be available at a 20 percent discount during its first week, making it an appealing addition for fans of indie games and platformers seeking their next co-op adventure. Developed and published by Flynn’s Arcade, Flora & Fang tasks players with defending Dracula’s treasured pumpkin patch from waves of relentless insects and imposing bosses.

Set in a whimsical vampire garden, the game allows players to embody one of two lovable vampire siblings—Flora or Fang—either solo or alongside a friend in local cooperative mode. Flora & Fang draws inspiration from classic pixel art platformers, introducing modern twists with strategic, tower defense-inspired gameplay elements.

Players navigate single-screen stages, jumping and dashing to outmaneuver swarms of bugs, deploying bug spray, and using coins earned during gameplay to purchase and upgrade an arsenal of clever traps and gear.

This strategic layer encourages players to experiment with different approaches and collaborate closely with their co-op partner, enhancing replayability and challenge. "Our focus is on fun, cooperative gameplay where each session feels dynamic and rewarding," a Flynn's Arcade representative stated in a recent press release, highlighting the game’s blend of accessible controls and deep strategy.

The cooperative mechanics are designed to invite both casual and seasoned players, offering a robust single-player experience as well as local couch co-op that leverages the flexibility of the Nintendo Switch hardware. A standout feature of Flora & Fang is its lineup of giant insect bosses.

These encounters push players’ platforming skills to the limit and require creative use of traps and teamwork to overcome.

The pixel art visuals, combined with a quirky cast and the engaging theme of protecting Dracula’s pumpkins, give the game a unique identity among Nintendo Switch indie releases. With its approachable pricing and launch window discount, Flora & Fang joins a robust lineup of indie titles on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

Flynn’s Arcade continues to demonstrate its commitment to quality, accessible gaming experiences that fit perfectly within the Switch’s portable and social gaming ecosystem. Flora & Fang will be available to download worldwide on July 10, 2025.
