Indie developer Wataru Nakano's 'Heavy Machinery vs Shumai' launched on the Nintendo eShop July 2 for 300 yen. The game tasks players with using heavy machinery to remove green peas from the top of shumai, operated only with the L/R sticks. Touching the table or shumai itself is a failure, and the peas are only a few pixels wide.
The Switch version adds three new machine types-wheel loader, forklift, and crane-each with a different control feel. Over 40 types of winning moves are available to collect. The game originally appeared at the 2014 game jam 'Ahoge' and later as a browser and smartphone app. In 2020, it was featured on TV Asahi's 'Tamori Club', where host Tamori played it and said, 'This makes you want to try again and again.'
