I bought Defunct for the Nintendo Switch shortly after purchasing the system. This is because for the first year or so of the Switch being out the Nintendo eShop sometimes had games go on-sale for 10 cents. Sometimes 1 cent. I didn't have a gaming computer yet, so I wasn't yet used to the overwhelming library of free games readily available to me via Steam, scouring the internet, or good ol' straight-up piracy emulation. Seeing a game sell for a penny blew my mind, and it was hard to pass up, so I snagged a good handful of penny-candy shovelware. Some of it is actually good.

I bring up Defunct specifically because it plays exactly like Zineth does, with its gravity-increasing speed-boosting terrain traversal across a wide, hilly space. As a playground, it feels good to move in, but there's not much going on in terms of making it interesting.

Meanwhile, Zineth is out here putting mini-games on the right side of the screen for you to play while you're riding walls and zooming around a desert.

It's bright, colorful, and feels excellent to play. The wall-riding part is a little jank, but it more than makes up for it with its sense of style.

Don't play Defunct, it sucks. Play Zineth instead. It's cool.
