CLAWPUNK is a melee-focused 2D action game with roguelite elements developed by Kittens in Timespace. The game places players in control of one of nine unique cat characters, each possessing distinct stats, weapons, and special attacks, within a 1980s/90s cyberpunk-inspired world. Progression occurs through five zones, with the initial four conquerable in any sequence. Gameplay centers on aggressive, "push-forward" combat, rewarding players with rage attacks for their proactive approach, and features a fully destructible environment.Permanent character enhancements are achieved through collectable cards discovered during gameplay. CLAWPUNK's design emphasizes reactive and aggressive play, offering a blend of melee and ranged combat options. The game's aesthetic is further defined by a retro theme and a synth-heavy soundtrack.
