Jandusoft and indie developer Luke Sanderson have confirmed that Turnip Mountain will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 30 July 2026.
The announcement delivers a clear launch window for the physics-driven climbing title and outlines core features aimed at both solo players and local co-op teams.
Overview
Turnip Mountain positions itself as an accessible yet mechanically playful climbing game.
Players control a courageous turnip whose limbs operate independently, creating deliberate challenges in movement and coordination.
The developer explains that players will manage each of the character's hands separately, allowing for single-player control of both arms or split control during local co-op sessions.
Developer-stated features
The publisher and developer have outlined Turnip Mountain's principal design elements and modes:
- Physics-based climbing: Players grab, swing, push and build momentum to traverse obstacles and ascend toward the summit.
- Local co-op mode: Two players can share control with each participant operating one arm; the setup supports two controllers or one controller paired with a mouse.
- Multiple routes and replayability: The game offers several paths to the summit, encouraging experimentation and discovery of shortcuts.
- Cosmetic unlocks: Players collect color palettes to alter the climber's appearance and coins that unlock headwear and other visual items.
- Soundtrack: The game's audio is composed by IsabelleChiming, providing a bespoke soundtrack for climbing sessions.
Release and availability
Turnip Mountain will be available exclusively as a digital release on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch on 30 July 2026.
A trailer accompanying the announcement presents early footage of the game's movement systems and level variety.
