A Little to the Left wraps up with final Packed Update

Available on PC, Mac, console, and mobile

K’jipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia, CA – 26 June 2025: Almost three years since it first launched, cozy puzzler A Little to the Left has no more messes to conquer. Today’s free Packed Update neatly brings active development on the game to an end, with one final gift to fans to thank them for their love and support over the years.

The Packed Update includes three new drawer-themed levels, offering single-solution puzzles that look perfectly arranged when completed. There have also been sweeping changes to the Daily Tidy, including the addition of a new level, hints for these levels, easing of streaks including checkpoints and forgiveness if missing a day, and customisable badges to show off your dedication to daily decluttering.

Alongside this, players can now challenge their tidying talent in Shuffle Mode, which reorders the entire library of A Little to the Left puzzles and tasks you with solving them in whatever order they come out. Shuffle Mode will also include levels from DLC packs, so fans who own both Cupboards & Drawers and Seeing Stars can challenge a gauntlet of over 160 levels in an unusually disorganised order.

Finally, A Little to the Left is adding new accessibility features to ensure everyone can enjoy the game. A Colour Assist Mode can now be toggled on, replacing a handful of puzzles with variants that no longer rely on colour to be solved. All platforms will also benefit from the ability to pan and zoom, letting you get a closer look at the objects you’re sorting – perfect for those peskier puzzles.

A Little to the Left began life as a game jam project for Annie Macmillan and Lukas Steinman and has grown to become a million-selling game with two paid DLCs, numerous free updates since launch, and versions available on all available platforms. This final update is not the end for the team at Max Inferno, who are already exploring ideas for their next game.

Long Beach, CA. – June 26th, 2025 – Rock It™ Games today announced that it has brought back one of the most realistic soccer series from late 80’s/early 90’s Nintendo history – Jaleco Sports: Goal! which combines Goal! (Nintendo Entertainment System 1989) and Goal! (Super Nintendo 1992- known as “Super Goal!” in Europe). The two sports title combo will be available today at a 20% discount price for only $10.39 via GOG or Steam. Later this summer, the Jaleco Sports: Goal! combo pack will be available for the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Before FIFA became the standard in soccer gaming, Goal! was celebrated as one of the most advanced and realistic soccer experiences of its time. The NES version features 16 international teams competing for the World Cup and 8 U.S. teams in a tournament format. It also includes a Shootout mode, where players attempt to score against defenders and a goalkeeper.

The SNES sequel, Super Goal!, expanded on the original with a side-scrolling field, 24 international teams, instant replays, and full-field radar views. It also introduced strategic options like four defensive formations and more player control. “Jaleco Sports: Goal! is the second in a series of great sports games from the extensive Jaleco Sports catalog,” said Michael Devine, CEO and Managing Partner at Rock It Games. “These 8- and 16-bit games, now enhanced with modern features, absolutely deserve their place on today’s platforms—so fans can enjoy them for generations to come.”

About the Goal! Series

The Goal! series earned a reputation for its innovative approach to soccer simulation. Each team featured uniquely rated players across skills like dribbling, shooting, speed, defense, and ball control. The SNES version built on this foundation with enhanced graphics, new camera angles, and deeper gameplay mechanics.

Key Features

  • Play Both Versions: Instantly switch between the NES and SNES editions, including all regional variants.
  • Game Modes: Enjoy Exhibition matches, World Tournaments, Shootouts, and Super Cup mode.
  • Strategic Gameplay: Set team formations, take control of your goalkeeper, and master special moves like bicycle kicks.
  • Rewind the Action: like a VHS tape – missed that goal or pass? Go back in time and try again!
  • Visual Options: Toggle between CRT-style retro visuals and modern display modes.
  • Multiplayer: Use Remote Play to team up with or challenge friends online.
  • Multilingual Manuals: Access original game manuals in English, French, Dutch, German, Spanish, and Japanese.

New moves and taunts, new arenas, The Island update, and more also arrive today

Today, the Dunk & Destruction Pack, the second of five DLC character packs*, steps off the hardwood and into the ring in WWE 2K25, the highest rated game in franchise history on Xbox**, as the wrestling and basketball worlds collide.

The Dunk & Destruction Pack features an eclectic collection of powerhouse athletes that bring the pain no matter where they compete. One of the most iconic sports personalities of all time, Shaquille O’Neal has been enshrined in The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, is a four-time NBA Champion, a three-time NBA Finals MVP, and the 2000 Most Valuable Player, among many other accolades. A fan-favourite DJ, rapper, actor, pop culture figure, and long-time WWE fan, Shaq has made appearances at several WWE events, where his imposing 7’1” frame is undeniable, even amongst larger-than-life Superstars. Tyrese Haliburton, a two-time NBA All-Star and 2024 assists leader, led the Indiana Pacers to the 2025 NBA Finals, the team’s first Finals appearance in 25 years. Haliburton is also an avid WWE fan, appearing on WWE TV and in WWE 2K25 decked out in a custom “Tyrese 3:17” shirt in homage to WWE icon “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Also appearing on WWE TV and in the Dunk & Destruction Pack, two-time NBA All-Star and Captain of the New York Knicks, Jalen Brunson took on Haliburton in the 2025 NBA Playoffs after confronting him on WWE SmackDown, bringing the worlds of WWE and basketball together in an unexpected and exciting way.

In addition to NBA stars, two titanic powerhouses of the squared circle are featured in the Dunk & Destruction Pack. Standing 6’8”, the masked, maniacal Abyss struck fear into the hearts of opponents, winning championships in wrestling promotions around the world. Wielding a spiked 2×4 he named “Janice,” Abyss seemed to take pleasure in causing his opponents pain in a variety of matches featuring unique stipulations, which should serve him well in his WWE 2K franchise debut. Joining Abyss and the NBA stars is the first Indian-born World Champion in WWE history, The Great Khali. The mammoth Punjabi Superstar captured the World Heavyweight Championship and earned a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame with his towering 7’1” stature and powerful chops from his massive hands. The Dunk & Destruction Pack includes new objects that can be used to attack opponents, including a basketball and “Janice,” plus MyFACTION cards for each new Superstar, as well as a total of more than 30 moves and taunts. The pack is available for individual purchase, or as part of the WWE 2K25 Season Pass, Ringside Pass, and in both The Bloodline Edition and Deadman Edition.

Arriving in conjunction with the Dunk & Destruction Pack are new MyFACTION content, including the Amethyst Token Market opening June 23 and a new Bloodline card pack debuting June 26, and the Crown Jewel Arena, available to all players. Chapter 3 quests and unlockables on The Island, which include a unique new robot version of Cody Rhodes, Firefly Funhouse Alexa Bliss, playable Lily Doll character, and Nikki Cross ‘23, will be exclusively available for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The WrestleMania 41 Arena will also be available to players who purchased the WrestleMania 41 Pack or The Bloodline Edition.
