Glad you enjoyed it. ### 4/5 — Pretty cute! *2020-11-14, version 1.4* The game is pretty cute!,but my “fire” button was jammed,other wise it’s pretty good!! ### 4/5 — Love it but *2020-09-21, version 1.4* Really like this game takes me back to the good old days. Love this retro stuff. But please can you add save progress into this really great game well done Dev. ### 4/5 — Gameboy-esque playformer *2020-01-30* Reminds me a lot of the platformers I used to play on the Gameboy. The visuals and music / sound instantly took me on a retro ride. The task is simple, get to the top / end of the level. The controls can be a little wonky at times but it doesn’t make the game unplayable. Overall I enjoyed the game. ### 5/5 — I love it!! *2021-07-31* I love it!! It’s amazing especially when I want to distract myself from the real world. I also just like the looks of the game this is really underated I swear. Thank you for this amazing game!!<3 **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the rave review. So glad you enjoyed playing it, it really makes a difference to us devs that our works appreciated. ### 5/5 — Lovely game *2021-02-09* Haven’t had this game installed for awhile but I remembered it and decided to right a review very fun and unique unlike mobile games commonly found now **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for taking the time to write a review. Glad you enjoyed it. ### 5/5 — GeT game *2020-11-08, version 1.4* I like this game good job Maybe add Stuff to do with the coins ### 5/5 — Fun retro type game *2020-09-29* Fun game for those into retro games that are good time killers. A nice change from graphics intensive battery killing storage depleting games. ### 5/5 — Clever & Endearing Retro Platformer *2020-09-29* I think the whole design aesthetic and concept of this game is really clever and seriously cute to boot. Playing the game with the interface of a handheld console brings back such good memories for me. It's like living in the past but with updated sensibilities. In my use it very much feels just like playing on an original Gameboy. Though, sometimes the jump button doesn't seem to fully jump the cute kitty cat 🐱 like it should I believe. Maybe that issue is just me, though, not sure. Perhaps I just need to press the jump button harder? I haven't gotten very far in this game yet but I'm enjoying the look and gameplay of it immensely. Many thanks to the developer on what I think is a really clever approach to retro gaming. I highly recommend this video game to others. Thanks for the great nostalgic memories, fun times and God bless. ### 5/5 — cute *2020-07-30, version 1.3* very cute 😀 ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty Good *2020-07-15* I haven’t even played the game yet but it looks pretty neat **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the review. Glad you liked the look of it. Have fun playing it. ### 5/5 — Great Platform Game! 😃 *2019-11-10* Hello there Stuart Mclean!, I am really very impressed with this tremendously entertaining platformer Katsu Kat! It reminds me greatly of a game from long ago called 'New Zealand Story' - a favourite of mine which received a conversion from the Arcade version to the computers I owned in the '80's to the '90's (the Commodore Amiga, and Atari ST versions were fantastic!). It has the same graphical style as that TAITO Classic, and a lot in common with other games of the era, such as those made by JALECO. You have made a very exceptional game here Stuart! I absolutely Love it! There is one thing I would like to address though! I know you've (sort of) fashioned the game after the early NINTENDO GAMEBOY games, in that it has no 'save points', however this actually slightly detracts from the game IMHO. It certainly is a game with 'Rock Solid' gameplay! But would you please consider the inclusion of "Safe re-spawning points", or "Checkpoints" into the game? Possibly too, the inclusion of a "SAVE" option. It's quite annoying when, for the Umpteenth time - you die (again, and again!) at the same point, but get returned to the very Start of the level! For instance, on Level 3 (I believe it's called 'Splodge') I've died over, and over . . only to be automatically re-positioned at the Start of the level! If you could come up with safe positions, where the players sprite is not placed in any 'immediate' danger, it would work a lot better! I WILL re-rate to 5-Stars if this alone can be done. A "SAVE" option would also be greatly appreciated! Well done Stuart on a top free game anyway! Many thanks. **Developer response:** Wow, thank you so much for posting such a positive review. I’m so glad you enjoyed it, It really does mean a huge amount to me. Good idea to add some save points. l’ve put in a few extra ones in (an additional 2 on the splode level). Which will be in the next release. Once again, thanks for all your comments. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
