Since this is a 2D platformer, the controls need to be precise, and Gato Roboto succeeds there. Kiki will spend most of the game doing this in her mech, which is initially only capable of firing pistol rounds and jumping around. Inspired by Metroid in many ways, Gato Roboto has players explore the research facility's different, non-linear sectors (running through the old favourites like ventilation ducts and a laboratory), and requires them to solve environment-based puzzles and kill enemies. Luckily for Gary, his cat is able to pilot a gun-wielding mech suit, despite not having opposable thumbs. Gato Roboto is a cutesy platformer where you control Kiki, the house cat of a pilot name Gary, who is now marooned and immobile after Kiki crashed their vessel.

They can bring home their terrified, half-dead prey, lie down in really inconvenient places, or, y'know, press the one button that makes your spaceship plummet into an abandoned research facility.

Cats are adorable house pets loved by millions, but they're also fluffy little terrors.
