Zebulon: A Lost Cat

Zebulon: A Lost Cat is a tiny 2D platformer with metroidvania mechanics. Zebulon is lost in a strange place, where curiosity soon overcomes fear as he explores and uncovers the world around him. You use skills and observation to awaken his powers and navigate tricky environments, collecting the smelly green food scattered throughout the world.

Explore and learn

Zebulon can survive traps and falls, get back up and learn new tricks to reach higher and deeper places. Even death is only a setback, giving you another chance to explore further.

Seven challenge modes

Each mode is tied to an achievement:

• Normal mode: explore the game and find powers and collectibles.
• Bonus mode: find every bonus before finishing the game.
• Explorer: play without a map and make your own path.
• Minit: die every minute, so you need to move quickly.
• Half-Minit: die every 30 seconds.
• 9 lives: you can die only 9 times.
• Deathless: finish without dying.

Pico 8 presentation

The game is made with the Pico 8 fantasy console, using its 16-color palette, 128×128 pixel art and four-channel chiptune. An optional wide mode, enabled by the Zepto 8 emulator, extends the view beyond Pico 8's usual square screen. Visual filters include scanlines, CRT, toon and minit.
