猫肉「Cat Meat」

Woooooo! This will go over well. This is a short game from what I can tell, hard to really say without beating the boss, but presumption would make me believe this is the end. It takes around 10 minutes usually, depending on how long the meteors decide to be obnoxious walls of wait time. The platforming is pretty easy for the most part, with one shot attempt layouts and trap rooms, where if you try to examine the room and don't immediately know what to do, will require you to suicide. Besides that, replays of the game will find most of it to be easy. The thing that complicates it would be the meteors. They are completely random. They tend to be pretty pointless for the most part, either doing absolutely nothing to you or causing you to just stand there, waiting for you to be lulled into a sleep so they can ambush you! Worst thing they can do is basically cause you to be trapped into a death status. Just went off that one time block up somewhere that takes about 10 seconds to comple...

What would otherwise be a great short little platformer is instead made into a RNGfest by randomly falling meteors. The meteors will either make you wait for no apparent reason or straight up force you to lose a life in multiple circumstances, and also breaking apart any potential the game had for a speedrunning community. The only frustration that ever arised from the game were from the meteors and the boss. The boss patterns in combination with the meteors have a chance to force you into a unfair death, not that surprising since that happens most of the time during the game anyway. The end sequence doesn't even bring anything special other than credits, you don't receive stats of how much you died, or spent in the current run, nor what you ended up with your score. In other words, the game gives no credit to the player for the work, ultimately with a lack of leaderboards, and thus collecting points is... Pointless.

Cat Meat: A cute game that makes you truly understand, how irrationally angry pixels can make you.

I'm holding this review ransom until my controller works properly with this game.

So does this game actually have an end to it or does it just keep going? lol

You have nine lives and that is it. Lose them and it's back to the beginning of the game. This fun throwback to platforms is simple and yet also hard. You have to watch where you jump, while keeping an eye out for traps, and keeping a lookout for the meteors. A easy to learn game that gets challenging very quick. https://youtu.be/YcgGmEAVccQ

If you like rogue like platformers this is about as good as you will find starting at the $0.99 price tag. This is rogue like and not rogue light. You get nine lives and one shot to complete the game once those lives run out thats it. You will have to start over from the very begining of the game. The music is a looping track it's not terrible, but if you don't want to go mad while trying to beat this game I would highly recommend you turn the music off and get your own playlist going, because you will be starting over alot. If you are easily angered this probably isn't for you. The game is fair and the controls are good so it is your fault when you die, but even still it is rage inducing. I broke one of the feet on my keyboard from punching it within the first 30-45 mins of playing. For me it is a game that I will play till I want to murder my computer. Then come back for some more later. Good luck to you all. Your going to need it.

It's a good speedrunning game, but it's different from the norm of this genre. No run is really the same. There's meteors falling from the sky, and while they generally follow patterns, it's not the EXACT same placement every single time. For some who really like speedrunning and "rage" games (think cat mario), this is great. You get to be fluid and diverse with your decisions, and each run is engaging and has its own wins and losses. A decent run time and progression of levels/challenges, and the final boss area doesn't disappoint. However, if speedrunning stresses you out, you REALLY won't like this and will be screaming RNG. I have a few hours in the game and have completed it countless times, this is game I just keep installed for when I'm bored in group calls or have a few minutes of idle time. It doesn't get boring, whereas most speedrunning games do because their stagnant layouts become dull after the first completion, so thumbs up for Cat Meat.

Such a fun and challenging platformer. It's so cute!

A small, but very charming 2D-retro-platformer with kittens as protagonists. For 0.99 a lot of fun. And if the developers would add Steam Trading cards, they would sell it way more often... ;)
