Publisher Assemble Entertainment and Developer Pixelpogo are super hyped to announce the release date for their fast-paced run-n-gun adventure platformer Super Catboy. On July 24th, players will be able to dive into this 90s-inspired, 16-bit world with protagonist Catboy and his eccentric but adorable sidekick Weapongirl on PC and Mac via Steam. Play through a wild adventure that perfectly captures the golden era of action platformers.
Meet Catboy, the not-so-average hero of this not-so-average story. Leaving nothing but chaos in his wake, Catboy is determined to thwart the plans of his evil creator Dr. Ungefug so he can go back to doing cat things. Laying in the sun. Scratching everything. The good stuff. Unfortunately, this quest won’t be easy, as Dr. Ungefug has created an army of anthropomorphic dogs that will stop at nothing to take Catboy down.
Super Catboy combines elements of platformers, run-n-gun and beat ‘em up games in a combination that makes for a fast-paced, high octane action title. Designed in a modernised pixel style, Catboy must run, jump, dash and fight his way through different diverse biomes from snow-capped mountains to derelict factories. Equipped with an impressive arsenal of weapons, Catboy and Weapon Girl will take down countless barking mad doggos utilising both platforming and melee combat. Inspired by games like Mega Man X, Metal Slug and Donkey Kong Country, Pixelpogo’s goal is to stay true to their roots and deliver a title that taps into player’s nostalgia in just the right ways.
