Star Garden Confirmed for Nintendo Switch After Successful $220,000 Kickstarter Campaign

Star Garden, the interstellar adventure game developed with clear inspiration from beloved classics, has officially been confirmed for a Nintendo Switch release following a successful Kickstarter campaign.

The project reached its Kickstarter funding goal of $220,000, securing its path to join the Nintendo Switch library and signaling strong community support for its unique blend of gameplay genres and aesthetics. For those tracking innovation in independent game development, Star Garden has stood out on the crowdfunding circuit.

The game draws on influences like the energetic city trials of Kirby Air Ride, the nurturing depth of Sonic Adventure’s Chao Garden, and the distinct musical and visual flair reminiscent of Jet Grind Radio.

This convergence creates a dynamic blend of fast-paced action, meaningful player progression, and vibrant style. Players take on the roles of Leo and Lyra, cosmic ecologists whose mission to catalog new ecosystems takes an unexpected turn when they become stranded on Solaris—a vividly designed, unexplored planet rich with unique life forms.

Their journey introduces them to the Lumi, enigmatic creatures whose evolving abilities hold the key to their survival on Solaris.

Guided by curiosity and necessity, players must raise, customize, and evolve their Lumi companions, gradually revealing the mysteries scattered across the Venture Fields—regions filled with Lumi villages, hidden zones, and untold secrets awaiting discovery. Star Garden’s gameplay is further enriched by its competitive CosmiClash battle mode, offering both local and online multiplayer support.

In these matches, players start with a base Lumi and collect in-game items to enhance their creature’s abilities, strategizing to outmaneuver opponents.

CosmiClash supports up to four players locally and six players online, bringing the excitement of unpredictability through random events that ensure each battle remains fresh and engaging. The developers have emphasized their gratitude for the community support received throughout the Kickstarter campaign, stating that reaching this milestone allows them to fully realize their vision for a Nintendo Switch release.

With the Nintendo eShop continuing to grow as a platform for innovative indie games, Star Garden is expected to appeal to players seeking a blend of classic influences and fresh, creative mechanics.

Star Garden’s arrival on Nintendo Switch highlights another exciting chapter for indie games on the platform, marrying nostalgia with new adventures for Switch owners worldwide.
