    It has great art direction and great music that doesn't get boring. It's not a souls-like, or a rogue-like. I don't feel like I'm going to be locked out of 80% of the game because I don't have 8 hours a day to dedicate to perfecting the controls and memorizing patterns. It's simple and fun. It really is a breath of fresh air. I hope to see more games like this.

    Cute little game. Bit disappointed with its length as I clocked in only 2 hours but better short and sweet than padded and boring. Pros: - Art - Music - Good controls - Level visual variety - Captures retro feel well Cons: - Lack of iframes (I think this should be patched in ASAP. Getting stun-locked to death isnt fun even if its rare) - Lack of enemy variety - Didnt take advantage of abilities (like dash) to create …

    This game oozes nostalgia for similar games of the '90s with humorous allusions left and right which made me chuckle quite a few times. The very nice soundtrack also deserves particular emphasis.

    stunningly beautiful pixel art, superb music and fun retro platforming for a fair price. Not too difficult but also not too easy. Some sections are frustrating and could use some different checkpoint placement, but apart from that well worth your money if you are into platformers or simply appreciate nice pixelart.

Super Catboy sits at 74% positive across 177 opinionated reactions from 4 sources. Fresh or rotten — where do you land?

Critics, per Wikipedia

The 2022 demo was received positively, with Comic Book Resources describing it as "purrfect", and nodding in particular to the game's visual aesthetics and music. The game's full launch was also received positively overall. Some criticism was directed at uneven difficulty and the fact that special weapons are dropped immediately upon jumping or using a melee attack, which limits their usefulness.

    What I liked: -The sprite work is rather nice. -The game controls ok. -I really liked the atmosphere of the mansion area. -I like the melee combo Catboy can do. It feels good to execute. -Final level theme music was pretty good. What I didn't like: -Dash control mapping is weird since left and right dash need to be mapped to separate buttons. Dash should just be one button and then you can simultaneously hold left or right on the d-pad to dash in that specific direction. Much more intuitive…

    It's not too pricey and I've been looking forward to this release for a long time, so I'm going to keep at it for a bit... But so far its boring. I'm kinda stuck on an auto-scroller, and its an experience unlike any other. I keep dying, but at the same time, I feel nothing. I don't feel challenged. I don't feel frustrated.

    This is one of those games that makes me wish Steam reviews were not binary. There really is a lot of great stuff to be had here. Unfortunately because of some very frustrating game design choices, I have to not recommend this game. The art direction and music are very charming. The gameplay and combat, albeit a bit clunky, can be fairly satisfying. There is a story here, though not much and the characters are a little over the top. But its sufficient for the scale of this game. The majority…

    What a genuinely miserable experience. Don't be tricked by the amazing sprite art this game has, the gameplay is clunky and awkward. Nothing feels good and outside of its amazing art direction the game is bad, plain and simple. The jumping is insanely awful, it's floaty on launch and moving the character mid jump is an absolute pain in the ass. Every level in the game feels like its half complete and then boom you finish it. onto the next leve. The worst part of the game is there are…

They probably didn't even understand what made the mechanics good or fine, or which ones were just bad from the start so.. yeah.

Pros: + the pixelart looks great Cons: - wonky jump controls - basically no invincibility frames - way too basic, nothing new is brought to the table - the boring story and cutscenes are hindering - level design is just okay I could not recommend something I didnt even want to finish.

It's a great retro adventure with amazing animation that makes you go "Oh... So this is what bubsy would been if it was done right" I give it 3/5 Furries Fighting

    Overall the game is better than expected! More polished than the "typical indie pixelart platformer", it displays a wide variety of environnements, and you can tell lot of efforts were made to have a well-paced experience. The Steam capsule art doesn't sell well the game imho. Colors chosen and style don't reflect the "metal slug quality" that would attract my eyes sooner. Some cons: - dash input that forces you to use triggers for both directions - unwanted spikes of difficulty - mostly due…

    At first, I was very impressed by the detailed pixel art and beautiful animations. As I got further into the game, What began feeling like an inspired homage to DKC felt more like a decaf version of DKC. The world feels like it could be more optimized for our character's moveset. As I lumbered slowly from left to right (and occasionally zigzagged), I just wished I was playing one of the DKC games so I could roll through enemies with joyous momentum. The character is too slow and too easy a…

    Super Catboy is a very solid platformer that combines elements of a light beat em up and a scroll shooter. The levels and characters rendered by pixel art are quite colorful and bright. As for the plot, it’s not worth looking for some great revelations here, because everything is simple and frivolous: A mad scientist modifies animals, making them full-fledged combat units, but a Cat suddenly appears among them, who decided to go against the old fart and fill his dogs faces. Of the gameplay…

    Trailer promises fast paced run and gun gameplay. In reality this game is sluggish and bland. Low hitstun, landing makes you unable to attack for short time, and fast enemy attacks make close combat unfair. Shooting is boring and you have limited amount of ammo. Protagonist is a mute cat that has to presonality. Enemies lack personality also, and exist only as obstacles in your path. Story is incoherent and just happens. There is no theme to explore, just go there and beat the bad guys. You,…

    The 16-bit pixel art style is fantastic and was the main reason I bought the game! The characters are well-designed, their boss fight mechanics (like the bull), and idle sprites giving them personality. The levels' visual design and the cutscenes are also excellent. The game isn’t too hard or too long, but it offers some challenges. I really hope this game adds a point shop! They already have some well-designed icons, and I’d love the chance to redeem more of the characters—especially the…

    Well, this is not a bad game, it's just that it was made using game making software so the actual mechanics are a little barebones for a platformer. That and it needed to be a little bit more difficult. IThis is very much designed to look and feel like an old SNES-era platformer, and it captures that feel perfectly. It feels most like a game made by IREM, like their highly underrated title Rocky the Rodent. The difference between this and a game from that era is that this game is just very…

There are a lot of things to nitpick at. The sound effects feel random (i.e. no cohesive style tying them together) and are sometimes oddly mixed.

    Super Catboy was an impulse purchase due to the attractive price including the 20% launch discount. Luckily it was worth it. The game is trying to be an old-school platformer with a bit of Metal Slug shooting added to the mix.

The levels are very varied, there are bosses and stats are shown at the end of each level. Stats keep track of all the coins collected, the 4 cat pieces…

    If you grew up with a controller in your hand during the 16-bit era, Super Catboy is a direct love letter to your childhood. It’s a high-energy, "high-bit" pixel art platformer that feels like a lost SNES classic—if that classic had modern-day particle effects and a lot more "cattitude."

    This was the longest 3 hours of my life, but I wanted to get the whole picture, and I'm sorry, but this game is just incredibly badly designed. No i-frames, no coyote time, hitboxes that favor the enemy because the players range is almost non-existent, bad controls, and just generally confusing design decisions. For example, you get a dash at the end of a level, just for the whole next level to be an on-rails shooter, why? Let's hope you don't forget that dash because you will need it for the…

    A decent platformer with strong 16-bit vibes. Okayish priced at 10 bucks, for 2-3 hours of entertainment. It has great art and is overall well-made. Boss fights are tuned nicely. Level design is mostly fine, though sometimes checkpoint spacing can be frustrating. Also, I'm personally not a fan of the locked-screen fights, particularly as the selection of enemies appears to be random. This can make a fight really easy or pretty tough, depending on how many gun-toting enemies spawn (though I…

I frequently found myself saying things like "Oh, this reminds me of [insert game here]", which is a good thing. It's a simple pick-up-and-play title.

    Nope, the game looks nice but it the controls feel unpolished and buggy. Also you are fighting the same enemy in 10 differnt costumes, the bosses are either random, extermely hard or laughably easy. Constantly you are asked to do a "leap of faith" and once the 7 lives run out you lose all progress in the level. The peak of arrogance is the skyship level where you have to nail 7 consecutive jumps, one NEW enemy, a brawl with shooting turrets AND a leap of faith at the very end of the level.…

    It's a decent game with the typical 16-bit graphics style. The invincibility frames issue mentioned by others is real, but it didn't bother me. However, the difficulty ramps up sharply at the mine cart level (so similar to Donkey Kong Country!). It requires some very tight timing and for some reason you can't jump, if you're still pressing the down button. It's also very unforgiving if you let go of the down button early before you clear the narrow gaps. It's a bit unfair in my opinion.…

    Rating: ★★★★ - Great Time Played: 2.8 hours Gameplay: • Classic 2D action platformer with a strong Sega Genesis\SNES flair; think Earthworm Jim meets Metal Slug. • Levels are tightly designed and full of enemies, traps, and the occasional secret. • Movement feels snappy and responsive. Running, jumping, and clawing through enemies is satisfying. • Gunplay is straightforward but punchy. You get access to a few weapons, and while not overly deep, it complements the melee attacks nicely. • Boss…

    Super Catboy is a 2D action platformer. It captures the essence of 16-bit games really well. The pixel art is amazing. Everything looks so beautiful. In terms of visuals, we can say that Super Catboy is perfect. The gameplay is very smooth. Catboy is very responsive to your actions. Controls are easy and fluid. Boss fights are pretty enjoyable too. I also like the relaxed tone of the game. The game never bombards you with enemies or puts you in unfair situations. Although Super Catboy is fun to…

    I am leaving a negative review because it'll be more likely to get noticed by devs and there are some really cool aspects of this game that deserve attention. The art and character design I thought were really exceptional. Even the awkward overzealous blonde girl who reminds me of my autistic friend from work. The game has character, the art style, the dog enemies, and Super Catboy himself are really cool and made me want to keep playing. I especially love the classic almost ww2 vibe of the…

    It's very "ok", but in the way that it gets boring pretty quick. The character range from fine to annoying, the humor is very hit-or-miss, and the gameplay itself doesn't feel good enough to carry through the entire game. I wanted to keep giving it a chance since the time to complete isn't long, but I just couldn't after a couple more levels.

    The idea is good, the look is good but the platforming is so unresponsive and deaths so cheap that it makes me frustrated to the point that I cannot recommend it.

    Sometimes you have to take a break from all those Dark Souls and ultra hard indie-games and lean back and enjoy a relaxed old school platformer in the likes of Donkey Kong Country and a little bit of Metal Slug but way easier. Pixel art is nicely done ( although the character design is sometimes weird ), game plays fluidly and the soundtrack is catchy at times.

    If not for the cute cats and dogs I wouldn't look at this game at all. Congrats to devs on the success of making good characters. The gameplay is pretty hardcore. The first few levels are trainers, regardless of techniques, as long as you don't fall into gaps you can pass. However the later level can be challenging and requires several runs, especially since there are 2 kinds of lives - one is regular health with10 bars, the other is how many lives you have left. No life means restarting the…

    Good graphics, music, platforming. Takes a lot of inspiration from SNES/Genesis era games. Recommended. Shorter game if you are just wanting to play it to completion. 3 hours. To 100% the game you are looking at 5 hours.

    Really Solid Platformer with Tight Controls, Strong Music and Great Pixel Artwork. If you're familiar with the classic side scrolling action platformers like Metal Slug and the like, then this is definitely worth your time looking into.

    This game is fantastic! Love the pixel art. The controls and gameplay feel very nice! And I love Weapon Girls attitude. Hope I'll see more of her as I have only played about 50% of the game, yet. I'm looking forward to finish the rest! One little point of critisism: The dog boss fight was very hard! Needed like 20 attempts until I understood that you can throw the grenade back at him and then it was super easy!
