Part Time UFO has only been on Switch for about a month, but elsewhere it’s a much more experienced employee. Three years ago the game released in Japan on mobile as Hataraku UFO, with that eventually coming to US app stores before being upgraded for the recent eShop debut.

To mark the occasion, HAL Laboratory has shared a new illustration featuring Jobski, the Player 2 UFO, and shopkeeper Ankh. They’re celebrating with a triple stacked cake, and note that the success of the mobile version eventually led to the Switch release – which we loved and recommend picking up in our Part Time UFO review.
