Climb the walls to save cats in Wii U shoot-em-up Scram Kitty
Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails is coming to the Wii U eShop on May 15, priced $10 in North America and £9/10 euros across the pond.
You play as the Buddy on Rails in Dakko Dakko's shoot-em-up, and you have to scroll along the walls of a space station to save your cat, Scram Kitty, and all the world's cats for that matter. Unfortunately, there's a huge army of mecha-rats in the way - isn't there always? Happily you have an arsenal of blasting, exploding and lasering things to help you survive the game's tricky-looking assortment of hazards and enemies.
Also, while players blast up rodents on the GamePad, Scram Kitty appears on the TV screen offerings feedback and advice. That sounds like it could be awesome, creepy, or both. For a look at the game itself in action, check out Dakko Dakko's trailer from earlier in the year.

For the truly awesome and dedicated, Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails features an addictive arcade-style 'Challenge Mode' wherein players race the clock to free as many cats as possible and make it out of the space station in one piece. Players can share their challenge mode score via the game's Miiverse™ community.
