Welcome to the official discussion thread for Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails on the Wii U!

Scram Kitty is definitely one of those "hard to pick up, hard to master" games, a shooter/platformer hybrid that I haven't been able to stop playing after downloading it. You control some weird vehicle that sticks to wall, with the action seen from overhead. You can only shoot straight in front of you, which at first feels very limiting and frustrating, especially with some tougher enemies that like to hug the wall you're on and attacking you from where you can't fight back. But eventually, you get the knack of jumping over them to reach an opposite wall, and blast them away. It's pretty satisfying. Another move you'll have to master is the fire wheel: hold down the jump button after jumping once, and you'll bounce off the wall 3-4 times higher than you can with a normal jump, and you'll destroy most enemies on contact. It is essential to master this skill for a lot of the tougher platforming sections, and to stand a chance against barrages of tiny enemies. The game has a surprising variety to it. You'd think being stuck to walls would be limiting, but the stages all feel very different. You have open areas where you'll need to fire wheel your way from one "island" to the next. You have levels that are just narrow corridors, where you have to zigzag between the walls to avoid streams of enemies. You have mazes full of switches to shoot, to open the way. You have "icy" frictionless surfaces to navigate. You have walls that automatically carry you one way. You seldom do the same thing twice. It's impressive as heck. You just need to get over the initial learning curve. At first you'll probably think that you're missing abilities, and that some of the kitties you need to rescue in each level are unreachable for now, until you get some upgrade. But you don't get permanent upgrades, in this game. You will find alternate weapons in some levels, but they don't carry over. The abilities you start with are the abilities you'll use until the end of the game. And it will be intensely satisfying when you go back to challenges you skipped and end up very easily getting through a platforming section you previously thought impossible. Anyone else playing this? I highly recommend it. URL to share (right click and copy)
