Development
Anomaly Collapse is developed by RocketPunch Games, an independent game development studio from China.
The game was announced in September 2023, albeit no release date was given.[3] In October the same year, a limited 2-week global playtest was launched lasting from October 17 until 31.[4]
Prior to its launch, from January 10 to April 11 of 2024, the game had a limited-run free demo.[5] In March the same year, the companies announced its release date as April 12.[1] In April 2025, a Nintendo Switch port was announced.[6] In July the same year, RocketPunch announced a July 17 release.[7][2]
Reception
Isaac Todd, from Rice Digital, praised the cutesy visuals and combat system, but criticized some "balancing issues" and that it "doesn’t do the best job of onboarding new players."[8]
