A fast, precise spin-and-dash action game. You play a ninja cat tethered to a magic shuriken, clearing short, tight levels by rotating, switching colors, and chasing perfect runs.
Shurigatto
SteamIn Felinia, a realm of cats kept in balance by sacred gems, the return of Muris, an ancient mouse sorcerer, has thrown everything off. You play as Shurigatto, a ninja cat tethered to a magic shuriken, fighting through corrupted worlds to reclaim the gems and restore some kind of order.
Preferably without exploding.
Shurigatto is a fast, precise top-down action game about momentum, timing, and clean execution. You swing, rotate, and dash through compact levels built to be replayed again and again.
Every move matters. Every mistake is yours.
Rotation isn’t just movement — it’s how you survive.
Rotate clockwise to turn Blue. Rotate counter-clockwise to turn Orange.
Your color changes how you interact with enemies, hazards, and the environment. Knowing when to rotate, commit, reverse direction — or dash out of trouble — is the core of the game.
Shurigatto is built around quick attempts and constant improvement:
Finishing a level is quick. Mastering it — finding the right line and shaving off time — is where the game opens up.
Across 6 worlds, you’ll face 6 bosses, each guarding a stolen gem. Every fight has its own arena, patterns, and rhythm, asking you to apply everything you’ve learned under pressure.
The tone stays light and slightly absurd: cats, sacred artifacts, and one very old mouse with a lot of unresolved issues.
The game grew out of a love for old rotation-based arcade games, then picked up speed along the way. Everything is built around pushing a single movement system as far as it can go.
