Paying homage to pixel art-style of 90s-era platformers, the player-controlled protagonist, Super Catboy, is a sentient, anthromorphic feline fighting against the canine soldiers of Dr. Ungefug, a MadScientist who intends to create his own private army of obediant soldiers, made from converting animals into half-humanoid forms. When Catboy was captured alive by the canines to be developed into a {{super soldier}}, Catboy unexpectedly awakens in the transport plane assigned to deliver him to the canine headquarters, and performs a daring escape that sends the canines' aircraft into crashing in the midst of a dense jungle.

!! This is one SUPER feline...
* AbandonedMine: There's a stage set inside one, which introduces the mole monsters and leads to a MinecartMadness sequence.
* AcidPool: The factory level have pools of green acid that costs Catboy a life if he falls in one.
* AutoScrollingLevel:
** There are stages where Catboy rides behind on a motorcycle with Weapongirl in front, speeding down a street with canine mooks on motorcycles trying to stop him. Catboy's pistol will have [[BottomlessMagazines unlimited bullets]] in areas like these, since he's swapping lead against the canines instead of punching and kicking.
** The MinecartMadness half of the underground stage also counts, with Catboy on a speeding cart and trying to avoid obstacles. He doesn't have any weapons with him this time and can't attack enemies, save for jumping above carts containing hostile dogs.
* BossRush: Prior to reaching Dr. Ungefug's lair, Catboy needs to battle the first three bosses, Mole, Rottweiler and Bull in a rematch in three separate areas, though this time he can choose the orders to fight them with.
* BrutishBulls: The Canyon's boss is a bull who attempts squashing Catboy to a pulp using it's horns, and a ''literal'' BullfightBoss - it's invincible when charging, and Catboy needs to trick it into tacking the boss arena's walls so it gets LeftStuckAfterAttack allowing Catboy to throw some punches in.
* CatNinja: The first boss is a feline ninja who can spam a FlechetteStorm of knives all over the place, besides being insanely difficult to hit because she can TeleportSpam all over the place. It turns out she's a HopelessBossFight - Catboy is supposed to lose, so Weapongirl can arrive to provide backup via bazooka.
* DoubleJump: Catboy can jump twice while in mid-air.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Dr. Ungefog, the game's BigBad who creates his personal army of hyper-obediant soldiers by experimenting on animals like cats and dogs. For some reason, cats are consderably on the "superior" side, with felines like Catboy being reserved as SuperSoldiers.
* ExplodingBarrels: Oil drums appears in a few areas, which can be triggered to blow up via shooting, with a wide radius damaging multiple enemies. In typical ArtificialStupidity fashion, enemy dogs ''will'' blindly run near a barrel allowing Catboy to take down several of them in one go.
* FurryReminder: [[spoiler:After defeating the CatNinja last boss, Catboy promptly celebrates victory by... cleaning himself. And licking the inside of his legs, just as Weapongirl shows up and arrest Dr. Ungefog]]. He's ''still'' a cat, after all.
* GatlingGood: The Champion boss is a bipedal Rottweiler who carries a ''massive'' Gatling gun to assault Catboy with. [[BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon No surprise that a stereotypically fearsome canine gets to wield the largest gun in-game]].
* GoombaStomp:
** Like most platformers, Catboy can take down canine enemies by jumping and landing on their heads. Despite the fact that Catboy can use his fists and firearms.
** The bull boss will either tackle Catboy, or jump up and down the arena trying to squash Catboy underfoot.
* GottaCatchThemAll: The ManekiNeko bonus, where each and every level contains four pieces of a Maneki Neko Catboy can collect. Complete a full Maneki Neko nets Catboy a higher bonus at the end of each stage.
* HappyDance: Dr. Engelfug performs a happy, improvised jig once his CatNinja henchwoman defeats Catboy. In contrast, the ninja doesn't react to her victory. And then Weapongirl barged in...
* HelpfulMook: Beagles manning hovering platforms are the only canine enemy that doesn't actively pursue Catboy, and in contrast they serve as a GoombaSpringboard for Catboy to cross pits or obtain bonus items.
* HeroicCaninesVillainousFelines: Inverted, Catboy is the good guy here, while the enemy mooks are mostly dogs. There is a hostile CatNinja serving as Dr. Ungefog's henchwoman who doesn't serve any purpose other than being a boss though.
* HeroicMime: Catboy doesn't have any lines, even though his partner Weapongirl, the villain Dr. Ungefog and other ''human'' [=NPCs=] does. It ''might'' be due to Catboy being a cat - none of the animal characters and bosses have dialogue, either.
* ImprovisedZipline: Shows up in multiple areas, where Catboy use ropes slanting downwards to cross pits and traverse chasms.
* KingMook: The Mole King boss Catboy fights to exit the mines is a size-up boss version of the regular moles.
* LocomotiveLevel: The desert chase have Catboy boarding a locomotive filled with canines, and fighting his way across leading to a TraintopBattle.
* MinecartMadness: The second half of the underground mines have Catboy kicking ass on a speeding cart and trying to avoid hitting obstacles and jumping before he falls into bottomless shafts. Be wary of [[LowClearance tunnels]] and get ready to duck!
* MirrorBoss: The Mole, Rottweiler and Bull bosses are ''huge'' and absolutely towering over Catboy. The CatNinja, on the other hand, have a sprite size roughly the same as Catboy's, and moves with roughly the same speed, with both her battles being Catboy fighting a boss his own size.
* MoleMonster: The underground level contains ''literal'' moles, who pops in and out of their holes and attacks Catboy with flung dynamites. Only their helmets are visible when they slinks underground, and they can't be attacked unless they're outside their holes.
* NonActionBigBad: [[spoiler:After Catboy defeats the CatNinja, Dr. Ungefug lets out a lengthy rant that it's impossible his creations lose to Catboy... right before Weapongirl suddenly barges in. And just like that, Dr. Ungefug surrenders and turns himself in without a fight]]. Then again, it's not like an elderly EvilutionaryBiologist can actually put up any sort of fight...
* OcularGushers: Basically all the bosses, who lets out two waterfalls of tears after being defeated. They even let out the geysers after their rematch in the BossRush!
* PeopleJars:
** In the opening FMV, Catboy was floating in a stasis tank in the dogs' laboratory aboard a transport plane, when a malfunction casues him to unexpectedly wake up. He then breaks loose, forcing the plane to crash, and cue gameplay.
** Later in Dr. Ungefug's underground lab and sky fortress, Catboy can come across stasis tanks containing dogs being experimented on to be added into Ungefug's private army.
* RopeBridge: In the first stage, Catboy was halfway through a rope bridge when a dog mook cuts the rope, causing the whole thing to collapse and sending Catboy to the stage's underground portions.
* SlideAttack: By pressing the attack and jump button at the same time, Catboy can perform a sliding punch that knocks canines off their feet. He can even send enemy canines backwards, into pits and chasms.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: There is a winter-set stage where Catboy will often need to travel on frozen surfaces. He'll accelerate forward faster than usual if he's running, and if he's using slide Catboy will speed ahead too quickly for players to control. Unfortunately a lot of the slippery areas tends to be located near killer pitfalls.
* ThisCannotBe: Dr. Ungefug drops this trope, nearly word-for-word, combined with PunctuatedForEmphasis when Catboy defeats his giant mole in the mines.
--> '''Dr. Ungefug''': What? How?! Can?! This?! Be?! ...that this little feline creature just sauntered in and vanquired my BEASTS?
** He says it again after Catboy defeats his last and most powerful creation, the CatNinja who's supposed to be undefeatable. [[spoiler:Before surrendering without a struggle once Weapongirl shows up]].
--> '''Dr. Ungefug''': You are utterly useless, Catgirl! [[RapidFireNo No! No! No!]] This is preposterous! This is simply not fair!
* UpliftedAnimal: As it turns out, the various canine enemies used to be regular dogs, before they're experimented upon by Dr. Ungefug and gained humanlike intelligence, as well as the ability to walk on all fours. The titular character is among Dr. Ungefug's attempts at uplifting a feline, but doesn't work as Catboy begins thwarting the villains' plans.
* WrenchWhack: Weapongirl always carries a wrench with her, and isn't afraid to use it for smashing canines in cutscenes.
