猫肉「Cat Meat」 Reviews

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

So cute and mean!! If you like mario style hyped up on cannon balls and impossible jumping spings then this game of death is for you. Sadly I do not!

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... ;)

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

Really great and cute platformer! I highly recommend it if you like to fight for your win. Also check out the publisher's another game, that one is also really great, and that one has achievements too!

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

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 complete? Well, the game spawned a slow moving fireball, either crash down below and possibly live to suicide, or die by fire. Pick wisely, a man chooses, a slave obeys! The boss is just horrible. Even getting to it with 9 lives, it didn't help. One of my attempts went pretty well, considering the bs that the boss is, landing 4 hits. Didn't die, fell into the water. Didn't even get close after. First issue would be how you hit the boss. You are required to hit the boss in the head, with a slow moving dropping platform, that requires you to make a falling platform jump. If you don't get as far as you possibly can, you'll slam into the structure, then most likely die. Even when you get the area you need to be at down, the meteors will just block the shit out of you, preventing you from even attempting a hit. The bosses square hitbox isn't helping any either. This also has a glitch where the falling block doesn't respawn. Added at the end of the video when continuing that prevents you from leaving the first screen, gotta restart to fix. Most people don't seem to really be going much of anywhere from the videos here, so that doesn't help much on that front. It's not even really the dollar that is the issue, it just really isn't worth the general time investment to actually beat it. Go get a candy bar or something, at least that'll taste good. I also happened to run across a weird glitch when using the controller. It would either work fine with the directional input, or would just stop working all together after restarting it, forcing me to use the analog stick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVaBxAUad78&t=25s One change would really help out alot in this even with all the meteor wall bs and such. Make the whole model able to be hit. Then you don't need the perfect moment to land the hit, making everything else less of a obnoxious design.

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.

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.
