New Game Boy Game 'Kudzu' heads to Kickstarter

In collaboration with Pie for Breakfast Studios, Mega Cat Studio, is launching a brand new kickstarter campaign for Kudzu - the latest retro homebrew for the original Game Boy! With a look reminiscent of old-school action-adventure RPGs such as Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and Pokemon but is chock full of modern sensibilities. Fans of classical gaming are in for a refreshing new take on the genre and it’s coming to Kickstarter today.

Kudzu is a nonlinear isometric game about a humble gardener thrust into an adventure to save his mentor from the clutches of a world-eating plant! You play as Max and set out to discover the mysteries of the new Kudzu species surrounding your camp. Prepare to take on dangerous creatures such as bugs, lizards, snakes, rats, and many more! Navigate perilous environmental hazards and solve treacherous puzzles to move forward! Use your arsenal of gardening tools to clear a path and be able to explore ruined fields, gardens, forests, villas, and mountains. Developed using the GB studio 2.0 engine, choose to play on the original Game Boy with a physical cartridge or opt to take on the adventure on the Analogue pocket or even your browser!

Kudzu is set to release in late 2023, and we certainly can’t wait to see the fruits of labor the developers have put into the game. In addition to a smorgasbord of killer backer rewards, fans can enter to win a prototype copy of the game on Gleam.
