Developer Estoty and publisher SayGames have announced that the cosy worldbuilder My Little Universe will be making its way onto Switch on 5th October. What's more, the foundations are already being laid as a local co-op demo is now available to try out on the Nintendo console.
This one will see you creating your own civilisation, as you take your mighty pickaxe and use it to transform the world to your liking — be that creating new land, harvesting materials or searching the mysteries of the environment around you (did somebody say 'dungeons'?). There are some less-than-friendly foes that you will encounter along the way, so expect a combination of farming and fighting as you build your universe.
The visual style is basic, to be sure, but we feel that it works with the small hexagonal islands that you have to shape into larger continents — it keeps things looking clean. With a co-op mode enabled to help with dividing up the tasks, we can see this being a pretty relaxing way to while away the hours (albeit, with a few monster fights thrown in for good measure).
For a little more information about some of the game's features and a look at a handful of screenshots, check out the following.

Interested… glad there’s a Demo!
EDIT And I don’t care if it’s dumb, I was FIRST!
Personally, I preferred ICQ messenger.
Does anyone still remember the good old days when the companies had demo's they gave out for the kids that didn't have money to buy the game. And then had to save up to buy the game? Because I do...
And I really like the thought of being able to have more demo's now as an adult as well.
Maybe if it was no more than £5 but to charge people £15 for a free mobile game is pure greed. And no difference between the two, they haven't added anything or given console/PC any exclusive things.
Um. This is a game you could download on your phone why would you pay for a game that lets you play on your phone for free? (Ads not counting)
15 dollars for a mobile game?
The combat looks like crap.
Could be a fun time killer like its phone counterpart but not for $15. May wait for a sale on this one.
@Jayenkai Not sure why this amazing comment doesn't have more likes, haha
On the topic: the game looks like it has some depth but I don't think I could play this? Like, to me...the main character is just...nothing. Not in a charmingly primitive "Atari-like" kind of way. Just like they used the base model of some 3D art thing.
Also: lol at "Mine Resources" in the trailer
"You can mine resources in this game! Such as rocks and checks notes trees and grass."
I hated this game on my iPhone when it was free.
@NorwegianMate I believe all games should come with demos. The only way to really know if you're going to like a game is to try it out. I've been burned one too many times by games that look good in a trailer etc that turn out very disappointing once I buy them.
Free to Play game gets released as Buyable game, which idiot decided that way?! :facepalm:
