The world’s hungriest cat returns this fall with a fresh twist and a full classic collection

Texas, United States – August 29, 2025. Indie publisher Armor Games Studios is thrilled to announce that the cuddliest cat in gaming is back for two delicious adventures. Sushi Cat Tower Defense will launch this fall on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch, while the Sushi Cat Legacy Collection brings the original web games together on Steam for the first time. Sushi Cat Tower Defense was announced during today’s The Mix Fall Games Showcase 2025, giving fans their first taste of the feline frenzy. Sushi Cat Tower Defense is developed in collaboration with OverPowered Team and Sushi Cat Legacy Collection in collaboration with The Electric Toy Company.

Sushi Cat Tower Defense: Defend, Devour, Dominate

This time, our round and ravenous hero isn’t just eating sushi, he’s defending the world from it. Corrupted by the wicked sorcerer chef, Broccolinni, waves of evil sushi are marching toward our hero, and only Sushi Cat’s insatiable appetite can stop them. With every bite, he grows stronger, unlocking new powers to claw back victory and foil Broccolinni’s devious plan.

Sushi Cat Tower Defense blends the franchise’s trademark charm with a roguelite tower defense twist. Players will need to paw-sitively outsmart the corrupted sushi hordes by building maze paths, placing cat-themed towers, and drafting Boon Cards to create unique defensive strategies. Every run offers new surprises, new sushi to devour, and new ways to defend the world.

“At Armor Games Studios, we’ve always shared a love for cats and sushi. Years ago, we thought; why not bring them together into one adorable, quirky, and deliciously fun character? That’s how Sushi Cat was born in our original Flash games, and fans around the world fell in love with him.” commented Daniel McNeely, Founder/Owner of Armor Games Studios, “With Sushi Cat Tower Defense, we wanted to build on that charm and legacy. From the art to the humor, we’ve made sure to celebrate our love of sushi and cats and we hope players feel that same warmth and playfulness when they dive into the game.”

Prepare Your Defenses

Build, upgrade, and outsmart corrupted sushi hordes in this roguelite adventure. Deploy a variety of cat-themed towers, block key routes with maze-building walls, and place traps to surprise and weaken enemies. Each decision changes the flow of battle, making every run unique and challenging.

Roguelite Style

Designed for replayability, the game features evolving levels, Endless Mode, boss encounters, and Boon Cards that let players shape their strategy on the fly. Permanent upgrades between runs ensure Sushi Cat grows stronger as players perfect their defenses.

Shape the Path & Unlock Talents

Players don’t just place towers, they shape the enemy’s journey. Construct winding mazes, deploy traps, and keep Sushi Cat well-fed to unlock devastating powers. Upgrade the Talent Tree, discover new towers and traps, and collect Boon Cards that give every run unique effects and opportunities.

He’s round, he’s hungry, and he’s back! Relive the journey from the very first bounce to the final epic launch as Sushi Cat gobbles his way through every level, overcomes obstacles, and finds love. The Legacy Collection includes: Sushi Cat, Sushi Cat: The Honeymoon, Sushi Cat 2, Sushi Cat 2: The Great Purrade, and Sushi Cat-a-Pult.

Fans will enjoy the simple, yet endlessly addictive physics-based gameplay that made the originals so memorable.

Along the way, charming animated cutscenes and dozens of levels let players strategize their drops, hit special power-ups, and guide Sushi Cat toward the heart of his beloved.
