Less than 24 hours after launching on Kickstarter, Lethal Wedding has already surpassed 200% of its funding goal. The Kickstarter for the hotly anticipated 16-bit shooter, inspired by 80s action movies and the cult classic co-op shooter Zombies Ate My Neighbors, reached its target in the first 90 minutes.

“We here at Mega Cat and the Lethal Wedding team are blown away by the support,” said Zack Manko, Head of Studio at Mega Cat Studios. “Thank you to everyone for all the enthusiasm and for believing in Lethal Wedding. We look forward to seeing you Bride Hard soon!

This milestone follows Lethal Wedding’s bullet-riddled appearance at the Shacknews E4 Indie Game Showcase, where viewers witnessed our brutal bridge unleash a bridal shower of lead upon killer clowns, ultraviolent unicyclists, and psychotic circus performers.

About Lethal Wedding
​
​When a drug ring of criminal clowns crashes a bachelor party and kidnaps the groom-to-be, it’s up to the bride and her mother-in-law to mount a rescue. Players will battle their way through psychopathic circus performers, bazooka-toting bearded ladies, and murderous mobsters across over 30 levels of carnage, all while juggling mother-daughter issues, wedding planning, and…literal jugglers.

Team up with a friend for intense couch co-op gameplay, and beware the innovative Vow System, which keeps the stakes high by challenging players to complete randomized objectives before reaching the end of each stage. You know what they say, “till death do us part!”
