Nintendo has released a free Switch game its developers created from home
Jump Rope Challenge is free for a limited time
Nintendo has released a free Switch fitness game, which it says was created by a small group of its developers while working from home.
Jump Rope Challenge was created as “a simple activity to add some quick and fun movement into their daily life,” the company said on Tuesday.
The game has players using a pair of Joy-Con controllers and imagining them as the handles of a skipping rope.
Jump Rope Challenge features hopping bunnies as characters, simple menus and no tutorials to skip through, so it’s quick and easy to get started, Nintendo said.
Two players can also play together in an attempt to reach high scores, with each person holding one Joy-Con.
For those who aren’t able to jump, or are worried about disturbing neighbours, players can bend their knees or move their arms to play the game without creating any noise.
Jump Rope Challenge is available for free on Nintendo eShop as a limited-time release until the end of September 2020.
