Brief outline of the game

Re-release of two pixelated platform games themed around a black cat and his magic bag: Felix the Cat (NES version) and Felix the Cat (Gameboy version).

Content specific issues

Violence is very mild and either directed at cartoony humans or at fantasy characters. Violence and reactions are unrealistic in nature. Both enemies and Felix fall off-screen when defeated without visible harm or hurt, while all bosses explode in the same way when defeated. The cartoon-like visuals help make any violence less disturbing.
