Gato Roboto

The password is MEOW!

Gato Roboto is a little metroidvania (meowdvania?) which we play as Kiki, a cute cat that must find a way to escape the planet and solve a strange conspiracy. 

Land
We crashed in a strange land

So, what is the story about?

Kiki and her owner, the captain, have crashed on a strange planet (who could be to blame?), and with the captain unable to leave the ship it is the kitty's turn to solve this issue. As we move forward, we will enter a subway laboratory, who was here and what experiments did perform?

Traps
The planet is inhabited and with buildings

So, what is the gameplay?

To begin with, Kiki is a cat and can only run, jump and climb, but once we find the armored mech, we will be ready to defend ourselves from this place. With the mech we will be able to shoot and as we advance we will find improvements making the mobility and weapons much better.

In some situations, we will control other mechs!

Fights
We can control other machines
Fonts
We can change the color collecting cartdriges

Is recommended?

Yes, if you are new in metroidvanias or want to play a short but charming game Gato Roboto is a good choice, is a game that does not intend to innovate, but it's fun and the battles provide a good challenge, the story is simple and with interesting details that are found by exploring, you can complete it in 3 hours.

Ending
