From the first seconds the opening wow you instantly.

Characters with lot of charisma and personality. A wonderful anime retro style and goofy situations that make you laugh.

A light platformer game that hooks you in short sessions trough each level. With a layer of replayability for completionist like me. Worth every minute.

Leavign aside some improvement points, the amount of work made by this one solo dev charditronic is titanic.

KinnikuNeko: Super Muscle Cat brights and delights as a beautiful 2D platform game. Five years of hard work and an amazing talent brought us a fantastic anime style masterpiece, with tons of gags and endearing characters brought to life thanks to the superb work on the dubbing. It also includes an incredible opening with an epic soundtrack.

In addition, KinnikuNeko stands out as a very fun platform game, the world feels alive, and our character is constantly interacting with it in many ways. There are a lot of entertaining minigames that bring a breath of fresh air to the game, and the Boss battles reminiscent of classics like Sonic, long life to the Goddess General Pitaya!, (I have two fairly big reasons to love her).

In conclusion KinnikuNeko is a classic platformer, with tons of 90's nostalgia, very fun to play, and solo developed by the talented artist Charditronic. Highly recommended, don't miss this gem!.

Thank you for reading!

You play as a cat with muscles, lots of alien waifus, cool gameplay and a (surprisingly) good storytelling too.

Get it, this game deserves more support!

So far, the full game is even better than the demo. It gives me the exact type of 2d platformer vibes as games like rayman origins/legends and i love it!

[Anime/Action] Full of retro Japanese animations/game homages from the developer. Embark on the journey to beat the aliens. Fun platformer, tremendously cute anime characters.

[ACT] 日本の古き良き何かのオマージュ満載の2Dアクション。何年もかけて制作されただけあって色々と凝っている。このゲーム名に何かを感じた世代には一見の価値があるだろう。

This game is very much a mixed bag, but its good sides outweight its problems. And even more so if you are part of its target audience of retro anime fans (like the weeb I am myself).

In its good moments, the game is a lot of fun and a perfect hommage to the wacky family-friendly animes it took inspiration from. Despite being basically the creation of a solo dev, Kinnikuneko has some pretty nice animated bits, makes its simple and cute story work, has a very nice OST, and even manages to have a fairly epic finale I was pleasantly surprised with.

But in its bad moments? Ouch. This game just feels like a flash game from 2005. Some graphic assets are just very bad (the walls in several levels, the lightning arcs of explosions, etc...), the whole experience lacks common quality of life features (menu doesn't default to "continue", etc...), there are bugs galore (none truly game-breaking, but still!), as well as some poorly designed level segments (the kind that feel straight out of the 16-bit era by how clunky and softlock-prone they are!)

I still recommend this game. The good parts mentioned before outweight the bad by a fair margin, and especially so if anime is your thing (and it likely is if you're reading this).
Despite all the flaws of Kinnikuneko, the passion and love of its creator can be felt all the way through, and this is a nice breath of fresh air in an environment dominated by much more standardized, risk-averse, and just generic character designs and plots (and increasingly so in the japanese and indie gamedev scene too, sadly).
Kinnikuneko is nothing like that. True, it wears its influences on it sleeve, and it's easy to recognize design elements from Toriyama or Toei animation, but all those things have been blended into a unique new soup. And it sure doesn't feel ordinary at all!

Maybe wait for a sale if you think 12 bucks is too much for a roughly 3-hour game. As the game's length is another fair criticism to place upon it. Kinnikuneko is the definition of short and sweet. Like the gaming equivalent of a candy. Maybe it's not the best value proposition, but it's a nice change from the usual "diet" and it'll make you smile.
So if you have that money to spare, then just treat yourself to this little extra and have a fun time.

...A fun time with bugs, a bunch of problems, and that is relatively expensive for what it is.
But a time that is also so full of passion and raw positive energy that you are (almost) definitely going to forgive all of its flaws.

Now that I think about it. Isn't that a description that would fit a kitten itself?
...How appropriate! XD

Actually really good game, especially because i like beat 'em up. Guys, if you like anime style games and you are fan of beat 'em up genre, and of course if you have 3h of a free time than this game is for you!
p.s. i still think there should be an anime based on this game!

I beat the game in two sittings. I feel like they had more time on the first half of the game then the last 3 stages...

Pros: Cute, fun and silly, exactly what I expected.
Cons: NOT ENOUGH CHECKPOINTS IN THE LATER LEVELS. The auto scrollers were MURDER and that final boss battle, really? When you switch from the 1 on 1 to the platforming section, there's no check point? You just have to beat the boss in her first two forms, then beat it on a completely different stage.

Bugs:
That final boss battle had several bugs, one where the platforms would disappear the second I touched them, one where the down button randomly stopped working until I was hit by something and one where if the Queen laughs and sends her power wave to the left there i no way to dodge it, but if it's to the right you can hug the edge of the screen and avoid a hit. Since it works on one direction, but not the other it seems unintentional and doesn't make design since so I'm assuming it's a bug.

While this may seem like a negative review, it is not. This is precisely the game length and game play I was paying for. It was well made and as I said, very cute.

This game is absolutely insane and I love every minute of it!
