Super Catboy

PC (Microsoft Windows) • 2023

Should you play it?

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 works

  • Beautiful pixel art and animations
  • Upbeat and fitting soundtrack
  • Nostalgic 90s platformer vibe
  • Varied level themes and mechanics
  • Simple, accessible controls

Things to keep in mind

  • Lack of invincibility frames causes frustrating deaths
  • Limited enemy variety and repetitive bosses
  • Short game length with low replay value
  • Collectibles have no meaningful impact
  • Some clunky controls and inconsistent mechanics

How to use the graph

Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the game’s motivation profile. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot to preview that game in the panel on the right; click to keep that comparison.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).

Super Catboy: A very typical example of its motivational profile. Motivations that often define this kind of title include Expression, Fellowship, Cooperation, Leadership. It leans lower than usual among comparable games on Continuation, Thrill, Intimacy.
