Why does the cat explode when it dies? My Experience You play as a pet cat of some space police guy who wanted to investigate an abandoned research. Of course his dumb cat walked on the keyboard and now he's stranded and has to wait for his cat to do all the work to get them out of there. It's a pretty typical metroidvania experience, and I liked it. It has an interesting retro presentation with crispy sound effects...
Cute, lean little Metroidvania. Music and level design are solid. Quite a few fun secrets. Solid fun for a few hours. 👍
