Super Catboy is an action-packed platformer created in a high-bit pixel art style, combining the best elements of the golden 16-bit platformer era of the 90s with some ‘pawsome’ new mechanics! And let’s not forget; there’s plenty of CAT CONTENT!
The gameplay of this action-platformer combines classic 16-bit platforming with modern mechanics. Players control the titular hero, a not-so-average tomcat, and must navigate diverse levels while battling hordes of anthropomorphic dog soldiers.
Players can easily make the hero run, jump, dash, climb, and attack. Reviewers praise the dash ability, which allows quickly traversing gaps and dodging enemy attacks. The platforming challenges require precise timing and coordination, but avoid being overly difficult.
The hero wields both melee and ranged combat options. Players can use the hero's claws for close-quarters combat or utilize a variety of firearms and special weapons, such as flamethrowers, for long-range engagements. Reviewers note the combat system provides a satisfying balance between button-mashing melee and strategic ranged combat.
The game features diverse levels with distinct visual themes and gameplay challenges. In addition to standard platforming sections, players will encounter vehicle-based levels, including motorbike chases and mine cart sequences, which provide a refreshing change of pace. Reviewers appreciate the visual variety and unique identities of each level.
As players progress, they can collect coins and pieces of a golden cat statue. Gathering all four cat pieces in a level rewards an extra life, encouraging exploration and completionism. While some reviewers felt the collectibles lacked deeper meaning, the overall progression system is well-received.
The game features a series of formidable boss encounters that task players with learning and mastering the patterns and attack rhythms of each foe. Reviewers describe these boss fights as satisfying challenges that require patience and skill to overcome.
