Description
Rockin’ Kats is a platformer where players control a cartoon cat named Willy as he tries to rescue his girlfriend from a gangster called Mugsy. The game is split up into six stages (or “channels” as the game calls them) that feature various themes from television that range from a mobster infested city to the wild west. Each channel is divided up into smaller sections that feature various obstacles, enemies, and bosses.
Willy’s primary weapon, the Punch Gun, allows him to knock out bad guys from a distance and latch onto certain surfaces. He can also purchase special weapons at the shop with money collected during his adventures. These upgrades range from a bomb to a mace that replaces the standard Punch Glove. Additionally, players will find health refills and extra lives hidden around each channel. Rockin’ Kats also features a password system that allows players to continue their game with all of their weapons and items.
