Aqua Kitty nominated for Best PS Vita game of 2012
We won an award - PSM game of the year for the Vita version!
Description
Do you like retro games / pixel art / cats / Amiga / PC Engine / Chiptunes / SHMUPS ? Of course you do!
Please help us Greenlight this game so the kitties can get their milk.

BACKSTORY

Due to a sudden shortage of milk, cats around the world are forced to seek out new sources to get their fix.
You and your team of milk mining kittens have overcome a fear of water to drill down under the ocean seabed and begin extracting vast reserves of what seems to be naturally forming full-fat milk.

Get ready for fast paced submarine action, defending the kittens from disruptive mechanical sea creatures.
The milk must flow!


CRITICAL RESPONSE

AquaKitty has been released on Sony PlayStation Vita (PSMobile) and has been reviewed really well scoring an average of 8+ out of 10. Now we are porting the game back to PC and XBOX - along with NEW features and enhancements.

POCKET GAMER 8/10
"The presentation and gameplay come together in near-perfect harmony, creating an experience that's as challenging as it is enjoyable."

PSN STORES 5/5
"Aqua Kitty should be occupying space on everyone's Vita. There's no reason not to have it."

PUSHSQUARE 8/10
"Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender is a fantastic launch title for the PlayStation Mobile platform."

McBacon on NEOGAF
"Aqua Kitty is the absolute ♥♥♥♥. Essential purchase on Vita. Go go go."


And so on... :)

KEY FEATURES

  • Optional 2 Player CO-OP.
  • Fast paced horizontally scrolling looping underwater levels.
  • Branching map progression of levels.
  • Varying sea depths per level that affect gameplay.
  • A dual firing submarine with a rechargeable secondary weapon that needs to manage carefully (upgrades through the game).
  • A variety of mechanical enemies to encounter each with differing behaviours.
  • Chain kill combo system allowing the more skilled player to maximise score.
  • Depth based power-up system that gives partial control on the type and location of the power-ups created (allowing tactical advantage).
  • Hand drawn 16bit era styled pixel art graphics, displayed at a crisp 720p.
  • Awesome chiptune music for each sea area taking inspiration from the best of the C64 and Amiga days.

@Existential Crisis - yes indeed you can, its available from the musician for sale on Amazon, Bandcamp and iTunes too.

@Bartinkopl - thanks for the offer but currently the game is english language only, as the menus are all quite arcadey.

Shortage of good shmups on Steam, but this looks pretty cool.
