Orangepixel, a Dutch one-man outfit, has been creating and releasing a variety of games for various consoles since 2004. He seems to have a knack for covering various games in his distinctive high quality pixel-art style, and Space Grunts, which is now available for the Nintendo Switch for $13.99, seems to follow that trend well.

If you are unfamiliar with Orangepixel and his work, check out the trailer for Space Grunts below.

What is Space Grunts?

The year is 2476, and Earth’s space-federation has been building moon-bases across the galaxy. One of the newer moon-bases has been sending out distress signals…

You play as one of the Space Grunts, a team of “problem solvers”, and your mission is to find your way into the moon-base, and figure out what has happened.

Find the lower levels of the moon-base, and get to the core of the problems.

Space Grunts is part of the Orangepixel Game universe, tying together all the Orangepixel games into a single story line. See the timeline here.
