Clever mechanics, tight controls and brain-teasing levels make for an excellent puzzle game in CATO. The presentation is also top notch for the vibe/atmosphere the game is going for, with satisfying audio and cute, pixelated graphics of the cat, toast, levels and everything in between.
Each world, contained of ~28 levels offers a new mechanic for you to wrap your head around. Each mechanic is gently introduced and eventually will test your problem-solving skills in a refreshing way. There are even some levels in here that change the formula up for a bit of fun.
One of the best indie/small dev team puzzle games I have played to date. Highly recommended!

Charming puzzle game. Keeps the brain from rotting by making it think - very useful in this era. Has a meow button. Realistically follows the laws of the Universe. Has a meow button.

Cato is an obvious play at the myths that cats always land on their feet and toast always lands on its buttered side. Together this makes for an interesting anti-gravity game mechanic that, joined with exceptional level design, results in interesting puzzles to overcome. The majority of the levels are on the easier side, especially if you are not new to puzzle platformers, but beginning with world 3 there are quite some brain teasers that challenge your skills but not in a frustrating way.
If you love cats and adore this art style that is a mix of 3d and pixel art I can definitely recommend giving this game a shot.

A nice little puzzle game, great for two players - one person plays the cat, the other one plays the toast (via Remote Play Steam and selecting 2 players in the control menu). The controls work well and there is no ping in Remote Play. The movement mechanics of these two characters are different. The cat can walk back and forth and climb some walls, the toast jumps. There are also several types of buttons that characters can interact with (each character has its own buttons). If they united, the ability to fly appears. The solving puzzles gameplay depends on this. The puzzles are not very complex and are intuitive. Highly recommended for those looking to spend an evening or two in a co-op, relaxing game.

Clever and fresh puzzle game that forces you to think with two seperate character's unique movement sets. Thankfully not too difficult with a gentle curve, very pleasing visuals and soundeffects as well. My only complaint is that there is not enough variety in the music. The music that exists is nice, but that doesn't mean I want to hear it in an endless loop for an hour.

This is the most adorable and hilarious game I have seen in a while. The game play is fun and compelling, too. The special mechanics of toast / cat / toast+cat really make for some fun silly puzzles.

This is the game I didn’t know I needed. Tight, responsive controls mixed with mechanics that have a fair amount of depth. Some puzzles have multiple solutions and the game never felt overly difficult even when the solution required more precise movement or timing. Plus, if you do get stuck, you could always try to hunt for secret rooms/costumes or play the minigames. (My favorite is COLL, reminiscent of Terry Cavanagh’s Super Hexagon.)
At the time of writing I have 100% the game with all secrets and unlock-ables so there is a lot of value for your money, especially when it’s on discount. CATO also works well on Deck so it was a great way to unwind before bed or when I had some downtime. My only wish at this point is more levels in the form of a secret world, or Workshop support so the community can really break the mechanics open and add even more playability to this hidden gem.
Lastly, more on a personal note, the titular CATO reminds me of my soul cat that sadly passed earlier this year and it’s been really hard without him. When I unlocked the 1st anniversary skin I cried a little because it reminded me of how my little guy chonked up so fast too. I’d like to think he’s enjoying all the butter and milk he can handle until we meet again.
