We released the Xbox XBLIG version of Aqua Kitty last Sunday so here is a catch up screenshot saturday! We made a lot of small tweaks to the Vita version of the game, and also added 2 player Co-op:



And this is the boxart (done like old Amiga bigboxes) by a very talented artist - David Hankin:



trailer toooo -

Will it be required to have an xbox controller to play Windows version? I prefer to play with either keyboard or (preferably) snes controller (a usb gamepad made to look like one to be precise but you get the point).

In any case, bookmarked the game's site!

On pc you will be able to use keys / any joypad

Wow, that's awesome news! Congrats on the XBox release (2 player mode would be tasty indeed!)

Is there any hope for us PC holdouts?

Thanks! a pc version is ready - just need to look into where is best to sell it these days on pc. I`m a bit out of touch and only use steam myself.

Oh I remember seeing this one some time ago (via soundtrack, I think on Soundcloud?), looks good – will grab it as soon as there's a Windows version available. If I had a Steam account I'd upvote it right away!

Thanks! We need to look at the options for getting it on pc. Steam greenlight looks to be tricky for smaller games like ours sadly.

LOL @ xbone

- yes well they certainly aren't endearing themselves to indies with that console :/

Hi all - we made a couple of bug fixes, the buy screens in demo mode were not automatically clearing on purchase. If anyone has time to peer review that would be fab, thanks!

thanks!

This game looks bloody great, as does that title?menu? art!

Thanks! Electric Cafe will be pleased

The soundtrack is now available on iTunes and Amazon too - so I made a small video of the cats playing along 

Posting a friends stuff - he did some great audio for two recent games I made and has them available for sale:

http://electric-cafe.bandcamp.com/album/aqua-kitty-soundtrack
and
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/aqua-kitty-soundtrack/id592788388

When creating the music, we initially looked back at Turrican/R-type and c64 Hubbard music tracks - and then we developed AquaKitty music outwards from that.

edit: oops forgot to mention this is his website - http://www.electriccafeonline.com/

A small advance of the near future big update of The Wild West. Lots (really, lots) of things to show:


I know the frames are differentes sizes up and down, I "recorded" it in a rush, the game is perfectly simetric, haha.

this is looking tasty!

If you like shmups + kittens + submarines, then you are in luck!

Our game `Aqua Kitty` is FREE for a few days as part of a Sony offer. Its a kick-ass 16bit styled shooter, details on the link below:

thanks!

oh man I am so stuck on the last world o_0

all I can suggest is to try different pickup choices. In some situations bombs work better than support kitties etc...
GOOD LUCK PILOT!

(oh and try not to get shot of course)

Quick update - we got a really nice award from PSNstores, Best PSM game 2012!

Aqua Kitty to win! Oops no, we didn't get nominated

Seriously though, all competitions are just a bit of fun. Some people win, some don't.


Pixelprospectors own top 80 pick list is pretty nice btw - http://igf.pixelprospector.com/
