Pocket Gamer: Hose it Down doesn't have much in common with the Mighty Switch Force games on 3DS. While those were puzzle-infused platformers, this is a collection of simple, single-screened head scratchers.
Hey Poor Player's Kenny McKee writes- "It seems work is never quite done for cybernetic police officer-turned-firefighter Patricia Wagon (get the pun, there?), protagonist of WayForward’s “Mighty Switch Force!” series. For two games, Officer Wagon has been risking life and limb in the form of extreme puzzle platforming, ensuring the protection of all citizens of Planet Land. While one might think that all of this hard work would have seen an end to Planet Land’s peril, trouble has once again presented itself to Patricia. With fires springing up everywhere in Planet Land’s very own Tangent City, Wagon once again dons her Planet Land Fire Brigade attire and rushes off toward danger. Things, however, will work a little differently this time around."
TouchArcade: If you think about it, WayForward Technologies is one of the original indie stars of handheld gaming. They first gained notice when some poor soul who was assigned to reviewing licensed claptrap on the Game Boy was playing some games based on Sabrina: The Animated Series and realized they were decidedly less bad than usual. A couple of years after that, they released their first game based on an original property, Shantae, which ended up being one of those games that sold far fewer copies on release than its eventual demand would call for. The game's charming presentation and ambition to actually make a decent Game Boy Color game won it plenty of fans. Combined with its relative rarity, its high quality gave it a near-legendary status and elevated its developer in the eyes of core handheld gamers.
WayForward has been making adorable handheld games since their inception and now they're back at it yet again.
