ZPF Releases

PITTSBURGH, PA — Nov. 25, in the year of our Lord 2025 — Strap yourself in and get ready for the flight of your life. The feline flyboys (and flygals) at Mega Cat Studios are pleased to announce that their highly anticipated 16-bit shoot-’em-up ZPF is now available on the Mega Cat Studios online store.

Starting today, the ZPF faithful can take to the skies with three versions of the game:

Standard Edition CIB ($59.99) — Includes cartridge, clamshell case, and manual

Limited Edition CIB ($150.00) — Includes custom laser-etched cartridge, clamshell case, and manual

Cart-Only ($49.99)

This long-awaited public launch follows ZPF’s hugely successful Kickstarter campaign, which raised more than 1,300% of its funding goal in the summer of 2024.

To celebrate the game’s release, publisher Mega Cat Studios has released a new trailer. This new footage offers an exhilarating look at what awaits players as they soar through ZPF’s strange and deadly skies, including goblins, horrifying infected creatures, and screen-filling bosses that put your shoot-’em-up skills to the test.

“The release of ZPF marks a meaningful milestone for the three-letter game title community,” said James Deighan, CEO of Mega Cat Studios. “It’s the result of ambitious ideas, careful craftsmanship, and a team that never shies away from pushing boundaries on the Mega Drive with the ZPF team. We’re excited to finally share it with the world.”

Key Features:

Go head-to-head against hordes of screen-filling bosses

Test your skills with an engaging and satisfying scoring system that rewards boldness

6-plus levels of absolute insanity as you soar across surreal sci-fi, horror, and fantasy landscapes

Three unique characters to master, each with its own playstyle

Developed by ZPF Team, ZPF is an explosively high-energy 16-bit shooter inspired by classic shooters such as Lords of Thunder, Elemental Master, and Thunder Force III & IV. Following the launch of the physical Genesis version, ZPF will release digitally on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Xbox family of consoles in early 2026.
