PETA, in collaboration with Arcade Distillery, has released a free Switch game called Kitten Squad that teaches you about animal abuse.

As detailed on PETA's website, the action-adventure arcade game has you play as an elite kitten to fight evil robots and liberate various animals across the world, including sheep from the mechanic “Sheep Puncher,” elephants from the circus, and cows from dairy farms.

Along the way you can earn weapon upgrades (like the carrot gun), new costumes, and play with up to four other people. Check out some of the gameplay in the image gallery below.

Kitten Squad is said to be the first advocacy game on Switch, as it features scenes inspired by real animals’ stories. The game teaches how going vegan can help animals, for instance.

Since being released for PS4, Steam, and mobile devices, Kitten Squad has been downloaded over 1.3 million times.
