What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Whizkin Games is committed to providing the best player experience. Our main priorities are storytelling and gameplay, and we have a lot of improvements planned for ZetaZania Part 1. We need your feedback to bring you the best quality game. We pride ourselves on paying close attention to the needs of our fans and will release frequent updates during early access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“ZetaZania Part 1 plans to leave early access in July 2025.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Whizkin Games plans a host of improvements during early access. We want this game to be interactive, fun, challenging and engaging.

We plan to make improvements to gameplay mechanics to provide a seamless playing experience, planning to implement more streamlined controls and enemy interaction. We want to improve enemy intelligence to better interact with the player and navigate around the map more intuitively.

We plan to add more achievements and also want to implement an in-game XP system to give special upgrades when more achievements are unlocked.

We plan to improve how different types of players interact with the game, wanting to tailor gameplay and achievements for both explorers and speed runners.

We plan to include more detail to the game's story, bringing more insights into the vast world of ZetaZania. We want to include an in-game help-viewer to allow the player to view all help dialogues viewed previously and plan to include more help-dialogues throughout the game.

We also plan on releasing general bug fixes based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current early access version is fully playable, has been tested by the developer and third parties and can be completed.

This version provides an overview of the story of ZetaZania.

Basic Steam achievements have been included. A basic upgrades system is included, to expand player arsenal and movement controls.

Enemy intelligence has been tested, and mobile enemies can interact with the player and map, although some bugs may be present. There may be bugs with how mobile enemies interact with the map and in their animation.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price isn't planned to change once leaving early access.”

About This Game

Blast Off to Uranus and Save Earth from the Vampire Pirates!

Suit up, Commander! Humanity is under attack by the Sexy Vampire Pirates from Uranus — and only you can stop them in this epic retro-style 2D side-scrolling adventure, jam-packed with classic arcade action and absurd British comedy.

The Backstory

Long ago, a powerful race of spacefaring vampires built ZetaZania — a sprawling space station orbiting Uranus. Under the rule of the flamboyantly fearsome King Scrotomus Maximus, society became a twisted dystopia where beauty reigns supreme and humans are kidnapped for their blood — the key ingredient in their eternal "Life Elixir."

Now, with help from the magical Divine Sisters of the Mighty Moons, the Vampire Pirates are launching daily invasions on Earth. Fear spreads, and humanity is on the brink.

You Are Our Last Hope

As Earth's highest-ranking space officer, it's your mission to blast your way to Uranus, fight through their freakish forces, and put an end to this madness once and for all.

Retro-Inspired, Fast-Paced Action

Jump, blast, and dodge your way through 60 levels of explosive arcade-style gameplay — just like the classics you grew up with, but smoother and snappier than ever.

Explore the Depths of ZetaZania
Conquer 7 bizarre and dangerous locations:

  • The Transportation Factories

  • The Scientific Laboratories

  • The Department of Sexiness

  • The Divine Sisters of the Mighty Moons

  • The Sacred Few

  • The Queen’s Palace

  • The King’s Lair

Each zone offers new enemies, brutal traps, and wild bosses.

Collect Power Crystals

Find and collect Power Crystals to activate level portals and upgrade your arsenal in the Portal Shop. New weapons = more boom.

Puzzle Your Way Forward

Solve visual puzzles to unlock hidden upgrades and confront a mysterious foe who offers peculiar trades.

Save Earth, Destroy Uranus

This is it — the fight for humanity. Prepare for laughs, laser blasters, and ludicrous lore as you become the saviour Earth. Are you ready to destroy Uranus?
