‘Meow Meow Happy Fight’ – An Upcoming Dual Stick Shooter From the Creators of ‘Piyo Blocks’

Big Pixel Studios, the guys behind both Piyo Blocks [$1.99 / Free] and Piyo Blocks 2 HD [$2.99 / Free] for the iPad, have a new game scheduled for release later this month. Meow Meow Happy Fight is a dual stick shooter for the iPhone with a delightfully ridiculous premise: Apparently, a cat from the future, 2336 to be precise, decides he is too happy. Naturally, the logical thing to do in that case is travel back in time to modern day Tokyo… to bring happiness and destruction.

I’m not entirely sure how this turns in to a basis for a dual stick shooter, and I can’t wait to find out. Either way, Meow Meow Happy Fight looks like it has a great array of 12 power ups and 15 unlockable characters which even include silly things like a “cat ball", a cup of noodles, and something that looks like a vending machine. Meow Meow Happy Fight has tons of collectables, complete OpenFeint integration, and a similar bright pixel art style as the Piyu Blocks games. Check out the following gameplay trailer:

The thread on our forums has the developers participating in a discussion with other forum members excited for its release, and even though I’m admittedly a little tired of dual stick shooters, I can’t wait to give this one a try. According to Big Pixel Studios, beta testing is completed and while it hasn’t been submitted to Apple for approval yet, they’re hoping to have everything ready to rock by the 3rd or 4th week of July.
