Shoot ’em up game ZPF confirmed for Switch

After seeing a great deal of successor on Kickstarter, ZPF will be making its way to Switch.

Mega Cat Studios actually started the campaign to release its title on the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive. A modest $15,000 target was planned, but the total currently stands at over $200,000. Switch support was recently confirmed after a stretch goal was met.

For those that are unaware, ZPF is a retro-inspired horizontal shooter. The game will take players through fantasy, sci-fi, and alien-themed worlds.

More information can be found in the following overview:

Inspired by classic horizontal shooters like Lords of Thunder, Elemental Master, and the Thunderforce series, ZPF is a passion project from the designer and developer of Super XYX and Tänzer.

Players will dodge and weave through intense bullet patterns, unleashing a barrage of firepower upon hordes of unique and challenging enemies.

Choose your hero – from the teleporting trickster to the laser-wielding warrior! Each character boasts a distinct playstyle with unique shots and melee attacks.

Brace yourself for epic encounters with mid and end-stage bosses, each demanding a different strategy to defeat.

Upgrade your arsenal and gain valuable tips between levels at each of the world’s in-game shops.
