Disney Illusion Island from Dlala Studios and Disney is a charming Switch-exclusive Metroidvania platformer that features 4-player local co-op. With a great art style, authentic voice acting, and cool co-op moves, it was already a delightful game. The new Version 1.1 update makes a good game even better by adding a new mode, map improvements, and more.
Here's an abridged version of the Version 1.1 "Keeper Up" Update Patch Notes:

Fixed various issuesThe new mode will certainly add some playtime, and the map improvements are certainly welcome. It's good to see all those bugs getting fixed too. I'm certainly eager to hop back into Illusion Island now that it's even more polished; I just wish the game was available on Steam as well.
