Holy Furballs - Super Catboy Has Been Released On PC

If memory serves me correctly, Super Catboy was a fantastic-looking retro title but was equally super tricky to play. No, not the controls or potential furballs, but it was a challenging yet entertaining side-scroller (the demo that it is).

Well, the good news is that it’s now available on Steam and GOG, courtesy of one of the best publishers out there at the moment, Assemble Entertainment, and indie devs, Pixelpogo. Join our titular hero with their sidekick, Weapongirl, as they take on the evil Dr. Ungefug.

Key features in Super Catboy include: 

• Jump Into Nostalgia: Enjoy the 90s-inspired 16-bit graphics combined with catchy tunes that feel like you’ve jumped right into the past!
• Run Kitty Run: Equipped with the latest dashing sneaker technology, Catboy must run, jump and dash his way through different brightly coloured levels, including snow-capped mountain ranges, mystical forests and derelict factories.
• Take Down Doggos: Use Catboy’s plethora of purrfect powers and weapons to take down hordes of dastardly anthropomorphic dog soldiers.
• Tell Me A Story: Super Catboy features a unique story to unlock as you progress through each level. Learn more about the game’s loveable characters and challenging bosses the more you play! 

Here’s a retro trailer for you:

As much as I’d like to tell you about it, I forgot to request a code for this one, but I shouldn’t need to tell you that you should check it out – especially if you love a 16-bit aesthetic and old-school difficulty.
