Among the smaller new releases on Nintendo Switch eShop on Thursday, Nov. 30, is Mujo, a game that puzzle fans may have played back on their smartphones in 2014. It’s one part tile-stacking, one part mythical monster-fighting puzzle action, a combination that seems like a good fit for the hybrid handheld. But in bringing Mujo from mobile to console, developer Oink Games seemingly made zero changes. This is as blatant a smartphone-to-Switch port as any we’ve seen thus far.

A gameplay video from YouTuber NintenDaan shows a good chunk of Mujo’s Switch version. Instead of filling the Switch’s larger display, the game maintains its original aspect ratio. This leaves empty vertical space on a majority of the screen, which seems like a real waste of the increased real estate.
