Pie for Breakfast and Mega Cat Studios today launched their brand new retro-style adventure game Kudzu. Very classically inspired Zelda — especially the Oracle games and Link’s Awakening — you can get this title on the Switch eShop or Game Boy.
Yes, that’s right — in 2024, developers continue to show love to retro handhelds, and you can actually buy a physical Game Boy cart for the game for an extra dose of nostalgia. 8-bit legal deals with the physical release of the Game Boy game, which you can check out on the Mega Cat store page.
Instead of being the hero of the hour, Kudzu sees you as Max, an apprentice gardener who must save his mentor from a kudzu outbreak. If you don’t know what kudzu is, it’s an invasive type of vine — making it an ideal enemy for our intrepid gardener.
Huge bugs and snakes stand in your way to success and you’ll have to use your gardening tools to navigate and solve puzzles. The progression is also non-linear, so you can explore the world of Kudzu to your heart’s content, and we hope find your master.
So take your pick – if you know how to play Game Boy games on real hardware, go for it to the Mega Cat store and grab a physical copy of the game for $49.99. You can also play the game on your computer via itching.io or buy it digitally at eShop for $4.99.
