** Completing enough of the arcade-style Endless Mode (which is a full-fledged part of the game, not an arrange mode in itself) unlocks Pandemonium, which further randomizes enemies not only by type, but potentially gives enemies any one random weapon to their attack patterns. This means even a common enemy can hold one of the powers normally exclusive to the BonusBoss... and on the opposite side, a powerful boss may end up with pathetically weak attacks. Unique to this mode are supercharged versions of elemental weapons that, although rare to drop, can do absolutely destructive amounts of damage in return.

* BonusBoss:
** Exgal, EldritchAbomination extraordinaire and a [[SurprisinglyCreepyMoment sharp contrast]] to the cuter and more conventionally cool bosses in the game.
** A Hard Mode version of the fight is unlocked if you [[DoubleUnlock complete a lengthy list of requirements]] first. It is an even greater foe named [[spoiler:Aekros, the Cybers' secret weapon, which Exgal is a mere shadow of]].
** Overlapping with a TrueFinalBoss, completing the BossRush on Hard reveals [[spoiler:the originally-intended boss Savant programmed before Isotope hacked her way in, a silver variant of the Normal FinalBoss, an alternate, tougher Supreme Thremnat]].



** [[spoiler:'''''[[BonusBoss Exgal]]''''']], Savant's attempt at simulating a dark power on par with (or worse than) what he intends for Boki to fight in reality. Its form and attacks differ wildly from everything else in the game, it has an utterly ''absurd'' amount of health (which rapidly regenerates even if you do manage to harm it), and even its ''name'' in-game along with the mission name for its boss fight is written as some kind of foreign, ancient text. (Curiously, the three Ulsevs it spawns are written in plain English.)

** For Boki, this is pretty much a given considering the game's premise. Many bosses give you access to a powerful weapon you haven't seen before (often one that's unavailable anywhere else) either from the start or once the boss reaches about half health. The second-to-last boss is especially noteworthy since your attack increases in power 3 times to match the boss between phases.

''Copy Kitty'' is an action game for UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows by Nuclear Strawberry (Azure Lazuline and Raibys Tohrell), which combines cute kittens, deadly weaponry and robots, and many an AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield.

One day on her birthday, CatGirl Boki Lamira receives a present from her adopted uncle Savant; a training VR program called "Flux" made for simulating military combat. Boki is one of a select few across the solar system known as an "entanma", people born with unique abilities all their own that can change reality around them with the force of their will. But instead of being an all-powerful entanma like she wanted, Boki finds that she can only copy others' abilities.

Upon activating the program, Savant appears and explains to his niece the program is intended to enhance her power to [[PowerCopying copy other abilities]], with a few modifications of his own creation, of course. Boki doesn't think much of herself, wanting more than anything to have unique superpowers like the entanma she idolizes. Even so, the young kitera will use her considerable skills and knowledge of all things cool to dive into the simulation, jumping, rolling, smashing, and swimming her way through several environments from volcanoes, to forests, desert temples, orbital satellites, and the ocean depths. Throughout her journey, she'll trash several thousand robots in all shapes and sizes, kick hundreds of spherical penguins, battle an ever-escalating number of bosses in both size and weapon variety, and just might learn a thing or two about self-confidence along the way.

Featuring over 175 weapon combinations, 135 short, objective-based missions, a Hard Mode that unlocks after the main campaign with several new weapons, bosses, and changes to existing levels, a second playable character with his own abilities, and a dynamically shifting soundtrack to accompany the player, ''Copy Kitty'' is at once both familiar to those who like action games and an experience all its own.

The game was developed for five years before entering UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} Early Access on August 11th, 2016, while the full version (version 3.0.1) was released in April 19, 2018, after seven years of development with the occasional update post-launch. It can be found on the [[http://entanma.com/copykitty Entanma Project website]] or on [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/349250 Steam]].
