Super Catboy

PC (Microsoft Windows) • 2023

Should you play it?

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!

What works

  • Beautiful pixel art and animations
  • Upbeat and fitting soundtrack
  • Nostalgic 90s platformer vibe
  • Varied level themes and mechanics
  • Simple, accessible controls

Things to keep in mind

  • Lack of invincibility frames causes frustrating deaths
  • Limited enemy variety and repetitive bosses
  • Short game length with low replay value
  • Collectibles have no meaningful impact
  • Some clunky controls and inconsistent mechanics
