Get acquainted! This is Kate. Since she likes to dress in black, she is nicknamed Black Kate! These guys offended her, but they didn’t know that she had a Black belt in karate! And now she’s going to show them!

i was waiting for a black cat throughout the game but then i just realize what the title of the game is : 0 . That aside, huge fan of the graphic!

“Black Kate” impressed me with its solid game feel and old-school guts. Support for Xbox controller works beautifully - a big plus - though there’s no vibro feedback, a little vibration would really elevate the immersion. The grainy visual noise in the graphics gives everything texture and atmosphere. Its overall style is consistent and charming, paying homage to classic genre traditions. And yes, it’s tough - just the right amount of challenge so you genuinely have to earn every victory.

Great visuals, I love the stars flying from hits. Very nice background music too.\nCould maybe benefit from splitting attacks between to buttons - there is little variation to what can be done now.

Nice take on the theme, Black Kate!.
\nLoved the pixel art and the music. I love Brawler games, I think this is the only game that I played for 5-min straight. I was expecting a Boss fight when I reached level 10, but got no Boss.
I guess, Black Kate was a boss after all! haahaha…

Good one! I got to level 10 :D

\n

I love the music! It fits the pixel art style perfectly.

\n

It could be even better with more movements, like jumping and some special move (think of Streets of Rage).\nKate, but no cat.. maybe a kitten could follow her hahaha

reminded me of one Nintendo game i used to plat a lot when i was little, absolutely fun! could go more with the theme if it was a black cat fighting against other animals or different cat colors.

I was not expecting this when I started the game. I enjoy this type of beat ’em up game. It’s impressive, I like it.

Such a cool soundtrack! The art and animations are super pleasant - loved that you can actually go behind the bar. But honestly, the music is the real highlight. Mobile controls are smooth, and huge thanks for adding gamepad support! The fighting is fast and feels great, though it gets tough toward the end. I couldn’t beat it, even after trying to hide behind the bar. Amazing game, thank you!

This game reminds me of double dragon so much!

The music was great and the sound effects were perfect.

I came to level 10 and feel abit proud of myself.

I really like this one. 5/5 graphics, 5/5 audio, simple but great game feel!

\n

I do have a few notes on the gameplay:

Overall great entry, would love to play a director’s cut!

Very nice graphics and sound!

\n

On mobile, I had difficult to change directions (e.g. I’m going left and want to fight an enemy back, it feels I’m locked looking at left and can’t react.

\n

Congratulations!

The game communicates the fun factor really well. It could really use a “Kame hame ha” to knock everyone out.

Absolutely love the style here. I feel that maybe there should be something like a block or some more depth to the battle. Audio and Graphics were just amazing. great job.

It’s a little left wing from the theme, so maybe something like “Kate, also known as Kat, likes to dress in black and is known as Black Kat…” continue the rest of the narrative. Would be great to have this narrative on screen when the player starts too.

\n

The controls were great; I like that they worked both on keyboard and gamepad. To make the game a little more dynamic, have two controls for attack (one for punch and one for kick). Adding in a dodge roll and block (maybe even an ultimate attack) would be nice additions too (although I understand the 13kB constraints).

\n

The gameplay was fairly smooth and intuitive. I liked the 8-bit graphics and the sound effects/music all sat very nicely. Great job!

Is it a Cat? No - its a Kate! I like how you just about managed to squeeze this into the theme haha.

\n

The 8-bit graphics and and overall retro game aesthetic were very much appreciated. You can tell the audio was very thought out too. Well done on bringing this all together so nicely.

\n

If you want to take this game to the next level then some more movements to the player would be great! Perhaps some power-ups also. Nice work!

This reminds me when I was much younger and used to play “target renegate” and “double dragon”. The game is very well done, this is impressive. Good job!

I enjoyed playing your game

\n

The music is really good, and the sound effects work well

\n

The graphics and animation look great. I particularly liked the texture on everything (low level random noise) making things look a bit more real and less cartoony

\n

My only comment would be to be able to vary the attack style with different inputs

\n

Great job

It’s really challenged game. Not so easy, but so addictive. It’s a pity that it’s impossible to completely destroy this bar and get to these men who are calmly drinking beer at the tables!

I love the amount of detail put on the background scene, the fighting mechanics are simple but satisfying, the music is lovely, and gamepad support is great! I wish I got just a little more frames of invulnerability when I get up after falling, the enemies start hitting me almost immediately and it’s hard to dodge them haha.

I love the scenario design and the smooth pixel art animations. The music is also a hit and fits super well. Create approach to the theme.

\n

The gameplay is perhaps a bit plain - but I appreciate the difficulty progression. I wasn’t able to reach the final boss.

\n

It seems like the punching and kicking were kinda random, or maybe distance based? I couldn’t tell. I missed a defense move.
