RedDeer.Games has unveiled a peek at a new [retro adventure game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omega-6-the-triangle-stars) dubbed ‘Gum+’ for the [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spinfrog) Switch platform. The game sees players control a magical piece of gum with adhesive properties under the power of a wizard. Players must [solve puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixedreality-puzzle-game), defeat and avoid obstacles like bombs, spikes, and falling floors, while also aiming to solve the level in limited moves for bonus trophies. There are 300 different levels set in 9 different worlds, and consumers will gain access to a level editor feature once they’ve successfully beat the game.

‘Gum+’ will arrive on the Nintendo Switch Shop in late 2022, priced at $8 USD. Early birds can purchase the 'Gum+' game for $2 during the launch celebrations.
