Is Super Catboy worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Fans of 16-bit platformers who want shooting and beat-'em-up combat
- Players who enjoy cat-led action games with boss encounters
- Action-game players seeking varied movement and vehicle chase sections
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow, exploration-focused platformer may bounce off the constant run-and-fight structure.
- Players who dislike combining platforming with ranged weapons, melee combos, and chase sequences may hit a wall when the mechanics overlap.
- Players looking for a realistic visual style may reject the high-bit pixel-art presentation.
Our take on Super Catboy
The bounce point arrives when standard platforming gives way to mixed combat: players must switch between shooting, melee combos, movement abilities, and chase sections. Anyone wanting a narrowly focused jumping game may hit that system before the varied environments and boss encounters become relevant.
What is Super Catboy?
Super Catboy is a pixel-art action platformer combining 16-bit-inspired platforming with run-and-gun and beat-'em-up mechanics.
Players control Super Catboy as he runs, jumps, dashes, climbs, shoots, and fights anthropomorphic dog soldiers while opposing his evil creator. The game includes varied movement options, weapons, melee combos, boss encounters, and chase sequences involving a motorbike and mine carts. Its story unfolds through pixel-art cutscenes and levels set across snow-covered mountains, forests, and abandoned factories. A sidekick named Weapongirl accompanies Catboy during his attempt to sabotage the scientist's plans.
