Seeing new releases for your favorite consoles is always a welcome sight and Mega Cat Studios has built up quite the track record in providing in this niche, but growing, market. Rocket Panda comes forth from a collaboration with Space Pants Games and Video Game Sage, who’ve been hard at work to polish the game for its release next week. “We’re really excited to get this out to the wonderful people still supporting the Genesis / Mega Drive,” said Julian Scott, owner of Space Pants Games.
In Rocket Panda you help the titular hero navigate through various snack themed worlds, saving his badger friends. It will require wits and precision as you soar through the levels with a jetpack, collecting all treats along the way. To achieve the best times and scores you’ll need to avoid all the baddies or unleash some tea-infused wrath and send the evil Biscuit Head and his lackies crumbling into confectionery toppings.
From what we’ve seen so far, the game is shaping up to be a nice treat for fans of the 16-bit system out there and offer a colorful new adventure. Rocket Panda originally started as a series of flash games and animations, so it will be quite nostalgic for many for that reason as well. Next to the 60+ maze-like levels, there’s seven bosses to do battle with.
