News of this first appeared the November issue of Monthly CoroCoro Comic. However, there wasn’t much information on it back then. It appears that the game will be a collaboration with Yeah, You Want “Those Games,” Right? So Here You Go! Now, Let’s See You Clear Them!, or Those Games, which D3 published in 2023. Those Games is a parody puzzle video game that turns “fake” mini-games for advertisements into real levels that you can play through. According to leaker ryokutya2089, the game will put a lot of emphasis on cuteness. So instead of stick figures like in Those Games, the Puniru Switch game might see models of the characters.

Puniru Is a Cute Slime is a children’s manga that’s been serialized in Bessatu CoroCoro Comic since February 2019. It follows Kotaro, a young boy who made Puniru the slime for a science experiment, and Puniru’s attempts at getting him to notice and admit how cute she is. An anime adaptation started airing in October 2024.

Puniru Is a Cute Slime: I Made a Game like That Game, But Can You Clear It? is in development for the Nintendo Switch.
