About Combat Cat

Combat Cat is a fast-paced, side-scrolling, bullet hell where you fight against an endless horde of angry slimes
as a combat ready cat!

Shoot, dash and fly your way around the areas as slimes try to stop your journey!

After each level the slimes grow in power, but so do you! Upgrade your weapon and cat with the thirty unique items
the slimes drop along the way! Use these items for infinite customizability options! Homing shotgun? Super powered
sniper? The choice is yours!

Face off against four diverse slime types and three different challenging bosses as your journey progresses!
If you're ready for a real fight try a higher difficulty or maybe even the truly chaotic slime rain mode!
Or have fun and experiment in the creative mode to build the combat cat of your dreams!

Go on now! Create your Combat Cat and survive as long as you can!

Jump, Dash, and fly around the arena!
Upgrade your weapon and cat for infinite combat options!
Different game modes including creative mode for experimenting and slime rain for maximum chaos!
Ending Stats screen to see how far you have come!
Four slime types and three different bosses!

I enjoyed the game, although it felt heavily like I couldn't get past a certain point without using creative mode, and even with it I wasn't able to make it to the end of the game.

While there are better rouge like games this games gameplay never really feels annoyingly difficult. Especially on harder modes like slime rain deaths always feel like your fault. And being able to store upgrades changes things way more than you would think. While you may bring a stat to the lowest possible you could keep a upgrade for that stat from the start so that it can go back up to a high number. Overall if this game had better art and was more polished it would be one of the best rouge likes out there in my opinion.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
