Kuroobi is an horizontal shoot'em up for Playdate where you take on spaceships with your bare hands  

In a not-so-distant future, Japan is under threat, and it's up to you to save the day. Choose between two black belt martial artists, each with their own distinct playstyle:

  • Katsuo, the Judoka: Use the crank to catch enemies and throw them into others, like a game of bowling.
  • Saki, the Karateka: Punch your way through foes and send them flying into others using buttons, like a game of snooker.

The game features a single 3-minute level that tests your skills and reflexes. Learn from your mistakes, progress bit by bit, and aim for the high score!

Key Features

  • Unique martial arts gameplay.
  • Two playable heroes with distinct abilities.
  • One intense 3-minute level.

Get ready to show off your martial arts prowess in this action-packed game. Do you have what it takes to save the day with only your fists?

Only for Playdate.

NOTE: This version is cheaper than its Catalog counterpart because it does not have online rankings.

Thank you for your support Hassan.

Kuroobi will be on sale on Catalog from March 7 to 14. I hope the sale price will meet your expectations.

The Catalog version includes online scores. As Kuroobi is a score chaser, the interest is less without online rankings so I felt bad selling it for the same price here. The Itch version is 50% cheaper for people not interested in online scores (but if anyone bought it here and wants the Catalog version, just send me a mail!).

I understand the game might seem pricey compared to other platforms, but with a smaller player base on Playdate, it’s challenging to cover the 12 months of work at a lower price.

Version 1.1.0 fails to load it into the sideload: Could not find a top-level.pdx file.

Thank you! The zip file contained the PDX content directly and not a folder named Kuroobi.pdx.

I uploaded a new zip, it should be fixed now!
