Pittsburgh, PA, Sept. 06, 2024 – Grab your goggles and gas up your jetpack, Rocket Panda is now available for the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive.
Published in partnership with Mega Cat Studios and Video Game Sage, this tasty 16-bit treat from the classic gaming confectioners at Space Pants Games puts players in control of a rocket-powered panda as he attempts to rescue his friends and save the world from the evil Biscuit Head and his legion of baddies.
To do so, you’ll need to soar through over 60 labyrinthine levels, collect scores of scrumptious sweets, and save your badger buddies before it’s too late. With seven sprawling sweets-themed worlds to explore and massive bosses to battle, Rocket Panda is filled with sky-high 16-bit excitement for your Genesis and Mega Drive.
To celebrate Rocket Panda’s public release, we’ve released a heroic launch trailer introducing the game’s intrepid panda protagonist while showcasing the sweet-yet-dangerous worlds you’ll explore and foes you’ll encounter.
