About the game
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 players say
It was a fun little game and for the 2 bucks I got it on sale for it's a good price, it's a good effort and fun to play but relatively short. I like the gameplay as a mix of donkey kong country, jazz jackrabbit and beat em ups in a way.

fun little game that i got on sale for less than 2 dollars, great music and pixel art. Challenging but fair. Check it if you're reading this. A good challenge for an afternoon.
I was not a fan. I don't like dunking on indie games, but the game feels... off... The gameplay is okay, mostly. It's as basic as possible, you can jump, have a dash, and wall jump, and that's basically it, but even that feels janky and unresponsive. The combat is even more barebones, it has zero depth, the hitboxes are weird, and you can get stunlocked by basically anything. The game also has an absurdly low enemy...
