    It's short but sweet, which I personally prefer over games that overstay their welcome. It's also a pleasure to play, with a satisfying mix of action/platformer pizzazz and puzzle elements with a steady, addictive progression from those simple first stages to the devious concoctions of the late game.

    After Shantae: Risky's Revenge, Aliens Infestation and Mighty Flip Champs, this is another excellent game from WayForward. Packed with original ideas but there just aren't enough stages.

    A great game, one of the best to have hit the eShop of the Nintendo 3DS. Its great visuals, soundtrack and gameplay blend perfectly. We only miss some more content.

    This game is an absolute blast! It's got gorgeous 2D graphics in a 3D plane (with some of the best 3D implementation I've ever seen. It'll make you want every future 2D game to be be in 3D) Amazing electronic up-beat soundtrack by previous WayForward game titles composer, Jake Kaufman, and of course the sweet, super-tight gameplay. If WayForward's previous titles are any indication, you should know to pick this game up right away. It combines Shantae's excellent platforming, with Mighty Flip Champs' killer puzzles, in a future setting. Fast-paced, short levels that press you to better and better your score. 16 fun, brain-teasing, action-packed levels fill out this game, and with a $6 price tag, you can't go wrong. High re-playability, and Highly recommended… Expand

    Mighty Switch Force is an incredible game, just too short to claim a 10. The Design is perfect, the gimmicks of the game-play are well crafted and the musics are great. It's too bad there's only 16 levels.… Expand

    The driving gameplay mechanic, aka the block switching, is pretty simple but they got a lot of out it and turned it into an amazingly solid puzzle platformer. Some of the levels are maddeningly hard and even just getting past the 16 levels without getting the goal time will probably keep you busy for hours. And of course the graphics are handled as lovingly as anything WayForward has done. For $6 its worth every penny.… Expand

    Short. Hard to Play. Beautiful. Great Soundtrack.
    That's really the game in a nutshell. You want to give it a great score b/c it is so pretty     and sounds so good. The controls are tight, but they just aren't exciting or fun. Style of substance is the name of the game, and that's disappointing. You're much better serviced picking up Contra 4 if you are looking for something that is fun to play. I wish there was a return option or demo, I would have skipped this one, downloaded the soundtrack and called it good!… Expand
