Reach the goal in Gudetamarun
Opera House Co., Ltd. announced that Gudetamarun, the casual side-scrolling action game starring Sanrio's favorite Gudetama, is now available on Nintendo eShop in many regions. The game was originally released on September 18, 2025, bringing the unmistakable low-power charm of Gudetama to Nintendo Switch players around the world.
In Gudetamarun, players guide the famously unmotivated Gudetama as she rolls, rides and drifts through a series of playful and unpredictable stages. Although Gudetama would prefer to do nothing at all, progress depends on carefully managing his motivation levels. By switching between states of high, normal, and low motivation, players can adjust their movement speed and jumping behavior to overcome obstacles, avoid danger, and steadily move towards their goal.
The game's gentle presentation creates a calm first impression. However, each stage introduces different mechanics, environmental tricks, and unexpected challenges. Boss encounters add another layer of variety, testing both timing and control. The controls remain simple and intuitive, making the game accessible to players of all ages, but completing stages requires focus and precision. This balance creates an attractive contrast between Gudetama's lazy personality and the skills needed to succeed.
Visually, Gudetamarun shines with cute animations that accurately capture Gudetama's iconic facial expressions. Across seven themed worlds, players unlock new vehicles that change the approach to stages, keeping the gameplay fresh and varied. Overall, Gudetamarun is a light-hearted yet carefully crafted adventure built on humor, charm and subtle challenge.
