Description

About the Game

Out of the hamster wheel and into space, Pompom is on a mission to save his boy Hoshi from the claws of Captain Cat and his wicked crew. Chase down each of the Space Cat Pirates, building platforms as you go. Use whatever it takes: springs, whips, umbrellas, cannons... Nothing can stop Pompom!

STORY


One day Pompom was working up a sweat on his hamster wheel, when Hoshi the boy burst into the room, showing a hand of beautiful jewels that fell from the sky with a great ‘BOOM’. When suddenly, Captain Cat and his gang appeared and kidnapped the little boy through a portal to space. Now Pompom must go on an adventure to save his boy Hoshi from the eight Space Cat Pirates!

GAMEPLAY

In a whole new kind of puzzle-action platformer, you do not control Pompom the hamster, but instead use your quick thinking to help him by placing and controlling platforms, obstacles and items around him. Analyze and use everything that comes your way: build bridges, place springs, prune vines... Be clever, be quick, be efficient. Travel through outer space to beaches full of flying fish, to ancient temples lost in the jungle, as you help Pompom outsmart his enemies and rescue his boy Hoshi from Captain Cat and his crew.

FEATURES


  • Play a platformer in a new way, moving not the character but the platforms.
  • Explore a beautiful tribute to the SNES classics and the 16 bits retro era.
  • Adventure across 8 worlds in an epic space rescue: jump on flying fish, dodge nasty arrows, dispel vengeful spirits, swim past piranhas, battle flying saucers, and more.
  • Pompom defeats enemies and collects items, and you can use those items and interact with the world to get him to victory.
  • Use every item at your disposal: fly out of cannons, swing on ropes, slash vines, splash honey, freeze time and much more.

I actually quite like this game! But I don't recommend buying the Steam release, because it's missing content that's only available in the Switch version. If you don't own a Switch, then sure grab this version! But if

It's like you took the graphics of a snes game and combined it with the gameplay of an ds game. Honestly way better than I could have ever expected! Thank you devs for this silly, yet tough game. 9/10.

Don't get me wrong-- this game is adorable. The concept of the game is amazing. The artwork is great. However, I wish the gameplay was executed better. Some levels are extremely challenging that it becomes un-enjoyable

Before Pompom, I knew not the value nor allure of the humble coin. Yet long before completing Pompom's marvelous adventure through a great variety of levels with new and novel mechanics aplenty, I knew deep in my being

one of the most creative games I've played in while. It has mario world aesthetics but reinvents platforming to a new perspective. It is genuinely difficult and at times frustrating but never boring to just pick up and

This game has a lot of mechanics that are interesting and make every stage feel unique. Sadly, I can't say that about all of them. A noticeable amount feels like it would need more work done to be reliable and fun to
