Mega Cat Studios Teams Up with Playtiles
Family Friendly Gaming News
PITTSBURGH, PA — July 21, in the year of our Lord 2026
— Mega Cat Studios has partnered with Playtiles, the
electronics-free gamepad from INNO, to launch the Mega Cat
Studios Collection — a limited-edition Playtiles controller
bundled with seven iconic 8-bit and 16-bit games from the
studio's catalog. The campaign is live now on Playtiles and runs
for 60 days, with a goal of 50 units priced at €25 each.
The special edition controller features exclusive Mega Cat
Studios artwork and lets fans (re)discover the studio's modern
retro classics on their smartphone, with real physical buttons
standing in for a touchscreen.
Playtiles are electronics-free gamepads that stick directly to a
phone's screen. There’s no battery, no Bluetooth, no charging
required. The phone runs the games, so there's nothing extra to
carry, and titles cache locally for offline play. Games can also
be cast from phone to TV, and each Playtiles drop includes
digital manuals and art books.
The Mega Cat Studios Collection bundles seven titles from across
the studio's catalog:
Kudzu (8-bit) — Adventure
Little Medusa (16-bit) — Puzzle, Platformer
Old Towers (16-bit) — Action
Romeow and Julicat (16-bit) — Puzzle
Coffee Crisis (16-bit) — Fighting, Action
Misplaced (16-bit) — Puzzle
Devwill Too MD (16-bit) — Platformer
“This Playtiles collection is genuinely one of the coolest
lineups we've ever gotten to put our name next to,” said James
Deighan, CEO of Mega Cat Studios. “Pie for Breakfast Studios,
Retro Souls, and Mangangá Team are exactly the kind of studios
that make me remember why I fell in love with games in the first
place, and getting to sit their work alongside our own Mega Cat
originals on the same collection is the kind of thing
10-year-old me would not have believed. This isn't just a
compilation. It's a love letter to the kind of games that made
us all want to make new retro games.”
The Mega Cat Studios Collection is live now through September
18, 2026, with a 50-unit goal priced at €25 per controller
bundle. If the campaign doesn't reach its goal, backers receive
a full refund within one month. Orders ship worldwide roughly
six weeks after the campaign closes.
