Tikipod – the studio behind Stealth Bastard, Gravity Crash and Rock Boshers – is working on a sequel to its hit shooter Aqua Kitty UDX, and it's coming to Switch.
The news was revealed during our Nintendo Life Indie Spotlight, which showed off a host of new titles for the Switch eShop.
According to the developer, Astro Aqua Kitty is an action RPG shoot-em-up "set underwater in space" and picks up right where the original Aqua Kitty left off.
You head into space to aid a mining crew of "cheerful cats" who happen to be drilling for things like milk, gems, power crystals and any other treasures they fancy. Of course, it's not as easy as simply grabbing the loot and heading for home; you'll be facing environmental hazards as well as the unwanted attention of native robotic aquatic creatures and pirate rabbit crews, the latter of which are also partial to looting and will contest ownership of materials and goodies with your feline crew.
You'll be expected to explore water-filled asteroids for booty, and assigning different crew members to your ship will allow you to rebalance your abilities.
The RPG elements come into play thanks to a levelling system which allows you to unlock new skills the more you play. You'll also be able to customise your weapon load-out and enhance your ship with special devices.

Never heard of the first game, I like the idea of the game.
I'll keep an eye out for this one, the first game was surprisingly good.
Enjoy the first game a lot. Had to lower the difficulty but it was still pretty though but got through it. I'll defintely keep this on my radar
Looks good! I'll be looking forward to this one!
I thought the first game was great looking, but a bit too hard and shallow. This seems like it will at least add some depth, which is always welcome.
aqua kitty is a great shmup but yes, it is very hard. this is ok with me though. the studio knows what it’s doing.
I am sloooowly developing a RPG SHMUP, as a long time dream of releasing a game, and never heard of the first Aqua Kitty. Definitely going to give it a try, as there aren't many games like this.
