Pix the Cat scratching the Vita's itch

Coming soon to the Vita and PS4 comes Pix the Cat from French developer Pastagames. It reminds me a tiny bit of Dreamcast freebie, ChuChu Rocket, with ducklings instead of mice, and the cat saving them instead of intent on pain. Add an acid-trip twist, scaling the Atari Lynx would be proud of plus an overdose of bass lines and it looks like a bit of a blast.


The developers previously brought the cute Pix n Love Rush to the PSP and more recently Rayman Jungle Run to phones. Looks like another fine arcade diversion, read more on the company's blog about its Gamescom showing (missed it from last week, among the rush of other new indies).


Check out the trailer which gives a better sense of the full lunacy.
