CatPunk

CatPunk look cool and all but the game play just suck and was not fun at all

I saw this game and thought it looked pretty cool. I know it is still in early access, but really 1 level to try? The game looks amazing when you first start it up but you have to switch your settings to low and watch all the color drain out of it just to even move. The who double jump jet pack is annoying, you either over jump or under jump its never just right lol. Having to use the space bar to jump is a problem cause I'm use to keeping a hand on the mouse. All in all its a drain on the pc, a pain to move and jump (needs mouse or controller usage) but you rarely land where you plan to. Die ever two seconds, and so far only one level to play. I hope it gets better but i highly doubt it. I liked the art style but pretty much everything else about it sucks.

Punk dünyasındaki bir kedi hakkında küçük bir oyun. Yiyecek toplayın ve yolunuza çıkan engelleri aşarak yaralanmamaya çalışın. İyi şanslar!

This is a nice platform game with a good aesthetic. It is early access, so it will grow over time. I'm especially intrigued at how the mechanic of being chased will work because I felt like I had to backtrack in the level multiple times.

Thousands of retro 2D platformers are infesting Steam, and "CatPunk" is just more pollution in a crowded market of terrible games. There are over 17,000 platformers on Steam, literally thousands (you can go see for yourself if you search for the platformer tag on the store, I'm not kidding). And this is far from being one of the best of those. You control an anthropomorphic steampunk cat and do some platforming. Why? I don't think it matters. I think this was a student project based on the surprisingly tolerable graphics, combined with a simple game premise and zero polish... that's pretty much the hallmark of a DigiPen/SMU type project. This has all those same qualities, and whether it's a student project or not, what matters is what this represents for gamers and the answer, just like a student project, is not much. Because this is unpolished, unfinished, and short in scope to begin with even if it had been completed. Platforming is an old, mostly dead genre, and this lacklustre experience, while it doesn't have an upfront cost, isn't saving the genre... it's no surprise this failed to capture any attention from gamers in the era of immersive 3D gaming. The developers haven't touched this for 3 months. It's deep in development hell and there's every likelihood this will never be completed. This unfinished game is just polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuinely, completely made games. The graphics in this game are really quite good, which at least makes the game look more appealing. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. A peak of [b]3 concurrent players[/b] (according to SteamDB) for a "free" game is a disastrous public reception. Out of 130 million potential players here on Steam, almost nobody was interested. Even though this is "free". That level of rejection speaks a lot for the quality of the game. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. There's no financial cost up-front, but you'd still be spending your time and a little hard drive space on a product that's far from the best. There's thousands of better alternatives on Steam.

Good game, respect to the developer
