The game is fantastic, fun, challenging and cozy at the same time. Cato is adorable and lore is deep. Everything is hyper polished. Highly recommended.

Catchy tunes and fun game play! Also the NPCs are usually funny to talk to between delivery routes. You will die a lot, but mostly you will be laughing and having a good time while doing so, especially if you're a filthy casual such as myself. Also, if you hate cats (what is wrong with you?) then you can enjoy killing one over and over again! All that being said, the difficulty is rather high so be prepared to challenge yourself with even the beginning levels. It reminds me of Celeste in that way. Despite this, it's still pretty fun to play and I definitely recommend at least giving Hirocato a try! Also, the gamedev seems to be a pretty cool dude.

Great idea, not so great execution. I would've expected very predictable and precise controls for this type of game. Wall jumping is HORRIBLE. It feels like nailing a wall jump is more about luck than skill. Seven routes in and I'm quitting.

The game welcomes you with awesome visual aesthetics and level transitions, the soundtrack is pretty immersive and catchy, if you are a fan of 2D platform games such as Celeste where movement and correct timing in order to overcome obstacles is a must, then you should give this an absolute try!

I loved the game! For me, it’s all about going fast and getting in the zone, with increasing difficulty that keeps it engaging. The controls feel very smooth, and the cat is absolutely adorable. It reminds me of a mix between Geometry Dash and Sonic 👍🏻

I definitey like the feelig of running speedly through the city avoiding obstacles as I go, the visuals are well made and the music is amazing, it also helps transmit a sense of urgency which is completely compatible with the gameplay.

Cool game to get in the zone and disconnect while jumping around. It can be quite challenging, though. I’d love to see some speedrunners pick it up and stream some crazy runs—would be pretty cool!

Ninja Gaiden Kitty sounded so cool in my head, but the physics and level design completely ruined this dream. This is a perfect timing blind rhythm game. You cannot play this game for fun; You must be perfect.

[b]EDITED 2024-07-30[/b] I'm flipping my review from not-recommended to recommended, as the points that most bothered me were fixed, and quite quickly might I add. I've stricken out irrelevant negatives, added a few positives and amended my closing paragraph. Thanks for being so reactive to my review, I hope the changes you've made will be appreciated by future players! 😄 [b]The good:[/b] - Awesome music! I was thrilled the whole way. - When the level is designed with flow in mind, the gameplay feels really smooth. I went for top of leaderboard in one of the levels, which was fun. The new "classic runner" mode showcases these levels really well. - I've come around to appreciating the levels that are not made to be "hold forward" a little more than during my first go at the game. Not quite my cup of tea, but I see the appeal! - The "fixed" camera mode that was added after release is quite nice! The "smooth" mode made it disorienting when performing quick back-and-forth movements. ...

This is a short sweet runner game that's clearly made with love. The stylized pixel graphics fit the vibe of a world that been through something traumatic and the only fix is an orange cat delivering sushi! The levels are well designed to make jumps that seem impossible until you get the timing juuuust right, and the timer on the levels means that any play session can be complete in a reasonable time, even if you're doing poorly. Cato is a charming silent protagonist, and I really like how NPCs interact with them in the story bits.
