New Genesis/Mega-Drive shooter ZPF now available for pre-order

Remember the new hit indie Genesis/Mega-Drive shooter ZPF, which succeeded in its Kickstarter campaign to fund development in July of last year? The game is still in development as of this writing, but pre-orders have now opened up to the public on Backerkit (In December 2024, but hey, they’re still available right now, at least). Even if you didn’t back the Kickstarter, you now have a chance to get your order in and be assured to receive your copy of the game as soon as it’s available. If you did back the Kickstarter, you can take this opportunity to order any items that weren’t included with your pledge that you may want.

From Backerkit, you can order new exclusive Complete-In-Box packages, collector’s edition sets, and other goods such as an artbook or a vinyl or CD soundtrack. You can also order copies of the developer’s previous game Tanzer or the other recent new indie Genesis game Rocket Panda, if you feel like having an extra game with ZPF. These two games are available for $45 USD, while ZPF is available as a $50 cartridge-only package, a $60 CIB set, and a $150 collector’s edition complete with unique cartridge design.

For a link to the pre-order page, and details on other goods you can pre-order, have a look after the break.

Here’s details on the various new CIB sets you can order. Like many indie games for retro hardware, ZPF is available in boxed packages matching a typical European or Japanese Mega-Drive release or a North American Genesis release. ZPF, however, has artwork unique to each of these versions as well, but with reversible box art featuring art spines befitting each region’s standard packaging design. Here are some visual aids that the developers have provided.

Here is a preview of the inside of the artbook, which is sold separately.

Head over to the Backerkit page right here and order the game and whatever extras you would like. After that, let us know in the comments below how hyped you are for ZPF. If you backed the Kickstarter last Summer, let us know that too.
