A surprisingly robust, rose-tinted, NES style metroidvania. Despite the prominent cat theming, this is a challenging experience with menacing bosses around most corners. While death loops are frequent, the save pumpkins allow you to try over and over until the gratifying victory and power up you win. Each new ability feels incredibly helpful and makes all previously explored areas easier to traverse through. The only hinderance is one that is similar to older entries of its genre, and that is the few and far between save stations that encourage back tracking after the simplest of advancements. Other than that, this game is entirely engaging and makes you remember the old-school games in a refined light.
