“THE GAME STORY

Due to a sudden mysterious shortage of milk, cats around the world are forced to seek out new sources to get their fix.

You and your team of international 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!

‘PAW-SOME’ GAME FEATURES

Aqua Kitty is a high res 2D pixel drawn arcade shooter, created with a love of the 16-bit gaming era and late 80s video arcade games.

• CLASSIC MODE – work your way across the sea map, defending milk mining kittens from all manner of mechanical sea monsters. Beware the large enemy Bosses which guard the end of each sea area.
• ARCADE MODE – is similar to CLASSIC but adds in a Gradius-like upgrade shopping system based around collecting green gems which can be exchanged for upgrades.
• DREADNOUGHT MODE – takes you deep down into the deep Meowiana trench… there you must fly through and destroy huge multi-screen enemy craft, whilst rescuing imprisoned kittens. It plays like a fine blend of Uridium and Defender.
• 2 PLAYER LOCAL CO-OP – play solo or with a friend!
• ONLINE LEADERBOARDS – compare your score rankings against friends and others.
• CAT-CHIEVEMENTS – an ingame achievement system.
• DEPTH based weapon generation system, allowing you to tactically choose which powerup is spawned and where.
• ENHANCED graphical upgrades and improved gameplay balancing.

CRITICAL RESPONSE

Critics loved the PS4 version; ‘JAZ RIGNALL – USGAMER.NET 4/5’ and ‘WILL FREEMAN – THE GUARDIAN 4/5’ – and this super new enhanced version for Nintendo Switch™ is even better!!!
