About this game

In a whole new kind of puzzle-action platformer, you do not control Pompom the hamster, but instead use your quick thinking to help him by placing and controlling platforms, obstacles and items around him. Analyze and use everything that comes your way: build bridges, place springs, prune vines... Be clever, be quick, be efficient. Travel through outer space to beaches full of flying fish, to ancient temples lost in the jungle, as you help Pompom outsmart his enemies and rescue his boy Hoshi from Captain Cat and his crew.

One day Pompom was working up a sweat on his hamster wheel, when Hoshi the boy burst into the room, showing a hand of beautiful jewels that fell from the sky with a great ‘BOOM’. When suddenly, Captain Cat and his gang appeared and kidnapped the little boy through a portal to space. Now Pompom must go on an adventure to save his boy Hoshi from the eight Space Cat Pirates!

Pompom: The Great Rescue is "free-to-try", an in-app purchase is required to unlock the full game.

- Play a platformer in a new way, moving not the character but the platforms.
- Explore a beautiful tribute to the SNES classics and the 16 bits retro era.
- Adventure across 8 worlds in an epic space rescue: jump on flying fish, dodge nasty arrows, dispel vengeful spirits, swim past piranhas, battle flying saucers, and more.
- Pompom defeats enemies and collects items, and you can use those items and interact with the world to get him to victory.
- Use every item at your disposal: fly out of cannons, swing on ropes, slash vines, splash honey, freeze time and much more.

Ratings and reviews

I love this game, it's very creative with it's gameplay and takes inspiration from some of my favorite games! I love how you don't control the character but instead you help him get to the goal, there isn't that many games with that control scheme, which is why I love when a game has that. I really like the inspirations in the game, like some Kirby and Mario stuff. the levels can be challenging at times but they always have that payoff when you figure out shortcuts and how to win in fewer blocks

16 bit graphic for this game look amazing. Looks like Super Mario World was the inspiration for this game. The ground tiles, item box and some of the screen transitions from overworld to the level are near identical to Super Mario World... I love it. Only complaint I have is I wish the game was a traditional platformer instead of an auto running puzzle game. Oh well... Fun game anyway, highly recommend to download and play.

Dont like it the controls are awful. Thought it was going to be like a actual modern retro style game but the character moves and jumps on its own and you have to freeze time and place blocks where you think it will land after jumping. Should just been a joystick and button press platformer type game with combat trying to fight those cats. Yeah just didn't care for it at all
