Good & Short but Sweet Indie Platformer

This game is an okay platformer that is pretty short, but fine for a $10 game. It does offer solid gameplay and a fair challenge with some annoying parts here and there. The story is alright, but this game is gameplay focused, which more than fine by me. This is a pure platformer like the ones of yesteryear. Pros: - Gorgeous artstyle and pixel art - Good soundtrack - Solid gameplay - Decent boss fights - 9 lives is a nice change of pace - A fair challenge - Pure platforming action - Somewhat interesting characters and enemies - Short but sweet - Alright stages - Dash move and jump hitting through the air are useful - Not bad for $10 Cons: - Game can be quite boring at times - The mine cart stage is annoying - Whole game is kind of a cake-walk - Level design could've been better - Platforming and gameplay could've been improved - Story is mid Overall, the game is quite solid, but just another reviewer said, I would give this a 3.5/5. It's not a bad game at all. I just thought it could've been better and less boring. However, I recommend this game if you like indie games, platformers, and games with anthro-animal characters.

Super Catboy

One of the best games I've played this 2023, retronostalgia at its finest. What I enjoyed the most: -Fun story -Smooth animations -Amazing pixel art -Good SFX/Audio -Variety of level design -Hard bosses (as in the 80's, 90's) -You don't get lost in the game, easy to follow the game structure

Gorgeous looking, but plain and boring

The presentation is really nice, gorgeous pixel art and nice tunes complement each other. The gameplay however is really not that fun: there's no real challenge to platforming, boss fights are simple, the levels have unimpressive design and there are annoying cutscenes that bring nothing to the gameplay (easily skippable though). There are four "hidden" cat pieces on each level, but they are usually just sitting in plain sight and there's no real reward for finding them. After completing the game, which took me about two hours, I don't see any reason to come back to it anymore. It's not expensive and probably worth getting on sale, just be aware that you are not getting much of a game for your money.

I love this game!

This has been a blast for me. I am not sure how far I am through the game, but I think it is taking me longer than the 2.5 hours projected. This is a platformer with tons of references to other games that I won't be the one to spoil for you, but I will say I don't think we're in Kansas anymore because it looks like we are in Donkey Kong Country! What else, let's see. You have nine lives before the game is over, and there are mid-way stations you can activate. This is good because it has a lot of precision platforming in each level you need to master. The controls are super, and you need them to navigate all of this precision timing. You can variable-height jump by how long you hold down the button, and you can scratch-climb walls which has saved me many times. I will be eager for some DLC if they do some, or looking at other games the team has done. Just delightful, colorful, catchy music, loads of references. I was about to head to bed and thought, I bet I have enough time to work my way through one level of Super Catboy, and I did.

Very well made

This is the first 2d platformer I've played in a while that both handles well and looks good
