Bazooka Cat: First Episode

Bazooka Cat: First Episode is a tactical platformer with arcade elements. You play as Lucky, a veteran special-purpose cat from the far future, stranded on an unknown planet after a meteor shower damages his ship. Cut off from communication and unable to return home, Lucky must survive, find a way to repair his ship and escape.

Lucky and the planet

Cats have developed a civilization, conquered space and are forming a Great Intergalactic Cat Empire. Lucky is returning from an important assignment when he crashes on the planet. His personal artificial intelligence, M.U.R., accompanies him, analyzes incoming information and helps him deal with tasks.

The planet is home to amorphous and robotic creatures. Amorphs are a new evolving technogenic-biological species created by a man-made catastrophe. They are not aggressive, but unknown life forms are best left untouched. Robotic creatures and bosses are remnants of an old civilization that developed for thousands of years and is now in decline after a major man-made disaster. The old civilization's bosses and the Amorphs have been in conflict for hundreds of years. Lucky witnesses their confrontation, and the bosses may have the spare parts he needs for his ship.

Tactical platforming

Lucky is a plump, fluffy cat who moves slowly, and his bulky bazooka is his favorite weapon. He can fire it straight or at an angle of 45–50 degrees. Boss fights require tactics that account for Lucky's abilities, as well as the environment and terrain; speed, quick button presses and familiarity with action platformers are not enough.

You also interact with the environment to solve puzzles as you explore the planet and uncover its secrets.
