Inspired by classic games like Mega Man X and Metal Slug, Super Catboy combines elements of platformers, run-n-gun, and beat ’em up to create a fast-paced and high-octane experience. You can jump, dash, and fight through diverse biomes, such as snow-capped mountains, mystical forests, and derelict factories.
Super Catboy‘s modernized pixel art style is a nod to the classic games of 2022, resulting in a retro gaming experience that is both visually striking and deeply nostalgic.

Set to be released for PC on July 27, 2023, Lunacy: Saint Rhodes allows players to experience the game’s unique twist on horror as they explore their tragic family history and battle inner demons. Unseen forces observe your every move in a terrifying world of strange and dangerous creatures that require a unique approach to defeat.
The story begins with a man named Rhodes awakening to a phone call at his office. He’s then greeted by a sheriff who asks him to search his large ancestral home in the town of Saint Rhodes. After agreeing, he discovers that something horrific happened within the house. The game then starts to unravel a narrative through small cinematics, phone calls, and notes lying around the house.
The eerie setting in Lunacy: Saint Rhodes is made all the more unsettling with a top-notch soundtrack and a detailed world that slowly, and sometimes tantalizingly, reveals its tale of dark family history.
