Kuroobi (Playdate)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
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.

I was eager to beat a record :D
You are almost there! Beating the 3rd boss can make you reach 1 000 000 points.
The next step is to never break the combo gauge but it’s really hard.
An other way is to master Katsuo. Since he is less played, it’s easier to climb into his scoreboard.
Why the Catalog version is double the price?
the game is great.
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!
i want this So Bad!
Me too 🥷. Thanks!
