Hello ZPF Backers,
Heads up! Today, we’ll be sending out the final notice via email (through BackerKit) to confirm your shipping addresses.
Please note: After 48 hours from receiving that email, all addresses will be automatically locked. This is your LAST CHANCE to update your address if you've moved or need to make any changes.
We are officially starting fulfillment on June 2nd! Given the large number of orders, we are estimating it will take about 2 weeks from that date to get all packages shipped out. So, please ensure your address is correct. 🏡🔒
To make sure your rewards reach you without a hitch:
All address confirmation emails and surveys are from BackerKit. If you can’t immediately find yours in your main inbox, please check your spam or promotions folder.
If you need to find your survey to check or update your address, you can go to the BackerKit Backer Search Page. Search for "ZPF," select the project, and enter the email address you used for Kickstarter/pledging. 📧🔍
If you still have trouble finding your survey link after trying the search, please email us directly at [email protected], and we’ll send you your personal survey link. 📩
It's crucial to have the correct address on file to ensure you receive your game and any other physical rewards.
Here's a sneak peak at some of the rewards currently being prepped at Mega Cat HQ!

Hey Backers,
We're writing with an important update on ZPF's progress and fulfillment. As always, we want to start by saying a massive thank you for your incredible support and patience throughout this journey. We know you're all super excited to get your hands on the game and all the awesome goodies, and trust us, we're just as eager to get them to you!
Important News Regarding Fulfillment:
We've hit a slight bump in the road regarding our original fulfillment timeline. Due to recent storms in Pittsburgh, Mega Cat Studios HQ experienced unexpected power outages. This has unfortunately caused a delay in the assembly of the ZPF cartridges.
We understand this news is disappointing, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our team is working diligently to catch up. Based on our current progress and estimates, we now anticipate that fulfillment will begin around the first week of June. This is a couple of weeks later than we initially planned.
To give you a peek into the dedicated work happening, we're excited to share a timelapse video of the cartridge assembly process!
Address Updates & Lock-Down Notice
With fulfillment approaching, we need to finalize shipping addresses.
We will be giving the official 48-hour notice for address changes on May 30th. After this 48-hour window closes, addresses will be locked in preparation for shipping.
Until then, you can still update your shipping address if needed directly through your Kickstarter survey. Please double-check your details to ensure your rewards reach you without a hitch!
If you encounter any issues updating your address or have any questions, please reach out to [email protected] and he'll be happy to assist you.
The Good News: Other Rewards Have Landed!
On a brighter note, we're excited to announce that all other physical rewards have safely arrived at our office! Everything from the artbook, to the Infinite Object, to the diorama is here and looking fantastic.
We've snapped some pictures to share the excitement with you – check them out below!
We're so close to the finish line! Despite this unforeseen setback with the cartridge assembly, we're more committed than ever to delivering a high-quality ZPF experience that you'll love, starting with shipping in early June.
We'll keep you updated if there are any further changes and will certainly announce when shipping officially kicks off. Thank you again for your understanding, your patience, and your unwavering support. It means the world to us.

Vice: Praised the demo, suggesting it's "the type of game that has me searching for official hardware to play it as it was meant to. It’s just that good."
GamerHub: Thinks it'll bring back memories while making new ones, stating, "This will definitely revisit some classic memories for gamers – and no doubt create new ones for those coming into the genre. ZPF will definitely feel like a dream come true for many. And maybe a nightmare for the less skilled."

Steam Next Fest: A Wishlist Success! + More ZPF Updates!

Hey Backers,
Steam Next Fest was a wild ride! We're still catching our breath from all the excitement. Seeing so much interest in ZPF, and watching so many people try the demo, was just... amazing. We honestly didn't expect such a huge reaction.
We're still pinching ourselves! You guys and the new players have been incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙇
Help us grow the ZPF community and share in the excitement – please wishlist ZPF on Steam if you haven't already, or if you know someone who would love it: https://bit.ly/MCSZPFKSU
Press Buzz and Gryzor Interview
We were also incredibly excited to see the press reaction to ZPF during Next Fest. Gameffine captured the essence of our retro inspiration, noting the 'richly detailed pixel art appropriate for the era and a kickass chiptune OST, straight out of the late ’80s.' Poke Games Land found the gameplay 'furiously addictive,' and GameOniperfectly summed up our vision, saying 'ZPF brings us back to the days where horizontal side-scrolling shmups of the 90s rule the gaming landscape, complete with classic-style graphics and a soundtrack full of old school-inspired chiptune bangers.’ We're so proud that ZPF is resonating with both players and critics alike!
Last week, we sent out the Developer Experience Survey specifically to our backers who pledged at the Knight of Legends tier. We're eager to finalize the details for this special event, so if you haven't had a chance to fill it out yet, please do so by the end of this month. Your input is crucial!
If you weren't able to receive the survey email, or have other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected].
Fulfillment Update: On Track for May!
Fulfillment is still rolling along smoothly, and we're on track for our May delivery goal. We're working hard to get ZPF into your hands as quickly as possible!
As a little treat, here's a sneak peek at some of the final pages of the ZPF Artbook! We're incredibly proud of how it's turned out, and we can't wait for you to see it in its entirety.
If you didn't include the artbook in your original pledge, you can still add it to your order via our BackerKit pre-order store: https://bit.ly/ZPFPreOrder
Thank you again for your unwavering support. We couldn't have achieved any of this without you!
