Get the Catabomber and start exploring mysterious dungeons. This is an old-school arcade game from the 80s - 90s. Remember your forgotten childhood! Features: Beautiful old-fashioned pixel-art style graphic design. Classic strategic, maze-based style gameplay disposes to a leisurely pleasant game. Pleasant and a bit gloomy soundtrack from Edvard Grieg. Play offline, no internet connection required. Game contains a single player campaign with 100 levels. Defeat an unusual edible boss in the final showdown. You don't have to earn money to upgrade your hero. Just play, because you are a cat. Forget about timers, play calmly! How to play: Create your own collection of rare artifacts, just for fun. Find a way through different levels full of dangerous monsters and numerous puzzles. Blow up enemies with bombs. Destroy walls and objects. Solve puzzles. Use the map and radar to survive in an underground maze. Use the zoom for comfortable gaming. Completed levels can be played over and over again if you want. The destruction of the last monster is your victory. Do it quickly or stretch the pleasure. Don't waste bombs, use them wisely. Be careful with flasks and cans, they contain biohazards. Prizes are hidden in the walls, look for them. Game objects: Solid walls - they cannot be destroyed. Soft walls - can be destroyed by explosion. May contain prizes. Bomb Box - Contains 10 extra bombs for you. Can detonate from fire. Bamboo Box - Wooden box that is easy to move and can be destroyed. Explosive steel box - It can be moved. Explosive object.

Your enemies: Cockroaches - dumb, blind and slow. Armored cockroaches - very slow and blind, but have the iron shell. Red bugs - can see you and show aggression. They suffer from diarrhea. Scrambled eggs - not an omelet, a dangerous creature that multiplies like an infusorian. Piglets - just meat for your bombs. The swamp is not your enemy. It's safe ... almost. Landmine - hides in the ground. Don't step on it. Turrets - unable to walk, but this does not make them less dangerous. Electric turret - fries you through any walls and objects. Electric Barrier - suitable for roasting enemies and cats. Tank - a stun gun on wheels. Boss - He's really terrible. It's edible but terrible.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Catabomber at Free against Monkey Ninja's $0.99. Catabomber also leads on update cadence (every 7 months vs every 18 months). Monkey Ninja's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
