How it feels

A cute, retro pixel-art romp where you pilot a mech and explore a dangerous alien underworld, balancing cozy moments with tough platforming and combat.

What players say

Players call Gato Roboto a short, charming metroidvania that is a good entry point for newcomers. They highlight the black-and-white pixel art, forgiving save system, and cat-in-a-mech premise. A few find certain bosses disproportionately difficult and one reviewer notes the controls are awkward on keyboard.
