About
Zebulon the cat is lost in a strange place, but he has a lot of courage and curiosity quickly replaces fear as he explores and unravels the world around him. It also helps that smelly green food is everywhere to grab!
No matter the traps and falls, Zebulon can always get back up, he will learn new tricks and reach higher and deeper places. Even death is not the end but only a slight set back and an invitation to wander further
Zebulon is a tiny 2D platformer with metroidvania mechanics where you will have to use skills and observation to awaken Zebulon's powers in a world filled with surprises and tricky environments
This game is made using “fantasy console” Pico 8 with its recognizable 16-color palette, crunchy sweet 128x128 resolution pixel art and 4-channel chiptune
Thanks to the use of Zepto 8 emulator, an optional wide mode is included to go beyond Pico 8’s usual square screen, as well as visual filters to tweak your experience (scanlines, CRT, toon, minit...)
The Pico 8 cartridge and all source files are included in a separate free DLC that you can pick up if you want to play it in Pico 8 itself or see how the game was created
7 challenges modes exists in Zebulon, each game mode is associated with an achievement:
Normal mode : Explore the game and find powers and collectibles
Bonus mode : You will need to find every bonus before finishing the game
Explorer : no map for you, have fun wandering around and make your own path
Minit : you die every minute, you better go fast or you will never get anywhere
Half-Minit : you die every 30 seconds, only for the bravest of cats
9 lives : you can only die 9 times, like every cat
Deathless : just don’t die, not even once...

Awesome game if you're looking for a precision platformer to speedrun!
Fun, short game. It's more of a precision platformer than a Metroidvania, it's less about finding secrets and power ups and more about getting every jump right to collect all the things. I beat the game in 45 minutes. There are more challenges, like beating the game with only 9 lives or speedrunning the game. If that kind of optional challenge doesn't interest you, then there's less than an hour of gameplay here. One complaint I had is that the green collectible dots seem to be smaller than they look. I would cross over one but not actually collect it. I especially noticed this in the underwater sections. Still, if you like Pico 8 games and precision platformers, this is a fun, if short one. It's not the most economical titles, but I enjoyed and would recommend it as a quick appetizer-type game
A very short but fun game.
ОЦЕНКА: 3 / 5 Маленькая пиксельная метроидвания про котика. Наверное, Завулон был хорошим другом. Мне жаль.
adorable little game with a lot of potentiel ! I wait for some quality of life improvement but it's very promising =^^= If you liked Celeste, you will be very comfy in this game !
[h1]|《Zebulon: A Lost Cat》 | 评分:78/100 [/h1] 一款2d平台跳跃游戏,游戏画风颇有一丝复古,并且有多种显示模式选择,体验各种老显示器游玩的体验,而玩法方面游戏采用类恶魔城,从一只只会跳跃,慢慢升级解锁更多可探索区域,由于游戏没有任何位置存档机制,再加上猫猫一碰就碎回到老家,很容易像掘地求升一样一下回到解放前,不过随着能力提升,也可以解锁近路,整体难度适中,可玩性很高,很是推荐。 [quote] [h3]💖💖[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43660430][b] 涩涩评测小社 [/b][/url]💖💖[/h3] [h3]⭐⭐[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44943987][b]不太正经小社[/b][/url]⭐⭐[/h3] 不仅仅是涩涩哦,不正经玩游戏,正经评测每一游戏( • ̀ω•́ )✧ 欢迎加入成为我们的伙伴 [/quote]
Short and sweet. It's a tiny metroidvania which will last you more or less an hour. It does a good job capturing the essential fun of metroidvania gameplay on a highly compressed map. The cat's animation is a highlight. The music is fun but never changes, making it become a little tiring after a while. Other notable annoyances include the camera becoming jumpy at some spots on the map and the hardest platforming challenge in the game being a little tedious because of how failure works in that spot. Those are the only flaws I can reasonably think of, otherwise the game is nothing but delightful.
Short but sweet Metroidvania with good movement. Reminds me of little flash games back in the day, in a positive way, and has a whole medal system for if you want to go deeper into replaying it for speed or precision. Easily worth a few bucks.
Easy to learn and hard to master. This is a great little game :)
