Pixelnicks’ Eagle Island soars to Nintendo Switch & PC on July 11th!

Indie Game Brings a Passion for Accessibility and Breathes New Life into Metroidvanias

PHILADELPHIA, PA – [JUNE 18, 2019] —Today Screenwave Media Games announced it will release Pixelnicks’ Eagle Island on Nintendo Switch and PC on July 11th. The indie title supports both publisher and developer’s passions of bringing “easy to learn, difficult to master,” games featuring a breadth of accessibility options and character-driven narrative to the game scene.

When asked what personal reasons decided Eagle Island’s stance on accessibility, Pixelnicks

replied, “I don’t see why people should be excluded from enjoying video games simply because

those options tend to get overlooked in the development process. Especially since those

players may be excluded from other sports and eSports.”

With more additions on the horizon, a list of in-game accessibility options include:

Visual Dim background, disable lighting, outline characters, outline platforms, disable screenshake, PC screen reader, color blind variants

Controls Auto-aim, mouse-control on PC, disable gamepad for third-party services, alternative stick controls, game speed manipulation

At release, players will partner with their owl-companion Koji in search of Ichiro – abruptly stolen

by the island’s giant eagle deity, Armaura. In high precision pursuit, players will leap, cast, and

discover the secrets of Eagle Island’s magical past. Eagle Island’s twisting narrative is

supported whether playing the “Official Seed” for speed runs or taking a more casual approach

featuring millions of uniquely generated levels. Welcome to Eagle Island!
