Gato Roboto
Pounce inside of your cozy armored mech and set off on a dangerous trek through an alien underworld full of irritable creatures and treacherous obstacles in a valiant effort to save your stranded captain and his crashed spaceship. Tiptoe outside the friendly confines of your technological marvel and follow your feline instincts through tight tunnels and mysterious waterways to scavenge for new weapons and gear. Adventure awaits the most curious of cats in Gato Roboto! Explore the underground labyrinth of a deep space outpost and uncover the dastardly deeds that unfolded before your arrival. * Blast and dash your way through enemies and obstacles in an agile mech suit to face the guardians stationed precariously throughout the base. * Cautiously venture outside the mech and risk all nine lives to explore areas inaccessible to your bulky, mechanical armor. * Discover secrets abound and gather new weapons and items to help open up new areas on your journey through dozens of handcrafted environments.

Gato Roboto is a very cool microvania!
Pros:
- The graphics are very oldschool, but it just works fine.
- Difficulty is fair but also challenging
- There are a few powerups but MAN THEY ARE TREASURES. I think its always better to have less upgrades with true impact than 1200 XY shards with 1-2 stat booster effects all over the world.
- The metroidvania aspects done right, the maps are clean, the objectives as well.
- Story is fun, nothing serious
- Interesting bossfights, not that hard but u have to pay attention
Cons:
- Cartridges give extra filters - but those filters lacks in my opinion, they not really change the retro "style" of the game, just the colour palette.
Anyway, the game is great, not long, but not dat short either, u can get around 4-5 hours of cool gameplay.

Stray just came out and everyone's talking about it, while I don't have a PC that can run it - so instead, I played a different game where you play as a cat in a post-crisis world full of robots. It might not have fancy graphics and detailed world-building, but it's a fun pasttime for a couple hours' worth.
This is a metroidvania concentrate - it's got all the makings of such a game, but in a short, simple package. It's mostly easy, but doesn't hold your hand, and assumes you know some videogamey stuff, like that as a kitty without the suit you can climb walls exactly like Furrball does in Konami's Tiny Toon Adventures, or that you can jump down bridges by press jump+down. In about 2 hours you'll quickly go from a clunky bunch of scrap metal to a destroyer machine. I wish the double jump was less floaty, but other than that, all the mechanics are stellar.
Graphics are, as you can see, 2-bit. It works - the animations are so good, you don't really need color to know what's going on. The robots are lively and recognizable. Map is readable. Overall, the game looks a lot like Metroid 2: Return of Samus and has a similar feel of an unfriendly weird planet, just a bit less lonely. It's interesting that while the graphics are comparable to Game Boy, the sound is very akin to Game Boy Advance. If you don't like the trademark CRUNK of GBA's soundchip, you might not like this, however for me it's a bullseye. With the monochrome graphics filled to the brim with pipes, fans and metal - and the distorted, mechanical sound - this game is as authentically industrial as the cult classic 1989 Tetsuo movie!
Overall, it's short, but it's sweet. If you need a quick metroidvania fix while you're waiting for something bigger, it's definitely a good idea to get Gato Roboto and give it a spin.

A fun little metroidvania with cute graphics and some hilarious sound effects. Could really use cloud saves, though.
