unlabelledView post →Finished Gato Roboto. Short and sweet adventure game that I wouldn’t categorize as a Metroidvania, but a great run-n-gun platform shooter with clean aesthetics, tight controls, and good variety for something you can finish in 3hrs Short, quality games!! 👍 @doinksoft.bsky.social #indiegames
unlabelledView post →Was playing a little Gunbrella on the steam deck, and I'm not sure I'm enjoying it all that much. I enjoyed Gato Roboto from the same dev, and mechanically the game feels good, the movement and weapons feel responsive, but I'm not vibing with it and can't put a finger on why.
unlabelledView post →I picked up a new game today! I saw this game, Gato Roboto, on sale in the eshop for $2. It’s a metroidvania where you play as a cat in a mech suit. Sounds like my kind of game!!

unlabelledView post →#RandomGameSaturday This is an NES inspired shump, where you play as a Gunslinger and Vampiress It's only ever been released physically, so you can't buy it on the eShop… The game was also recently re-released in The Doinksoft Collection, alongside Gato-Roboto & Gunbrella. That's a great deal~ 🧛♀️

unlabelledView post →Playing Gato Roboto. Excellent game, highly recommend it. #indiegames #videogames store.steampowered.com/app/916730/G...
unlabelledView post →People talk a lot about other metroidvanias, but I think Gato Roboto deserves more attention. It's one of the games closest to the roots of the genre. Let’s be honest, it's just Metroid… but with a cat, and that makes it good! #indiegame #indiedev

unlabelledView post →Gato Roboto 🐱 This is the real mewtroid that warioware twisted was talking about.... This game kicks ass, pretty short but after playing hollow knight for a month straight I kinda looked forward to a smaller game lol. Super speedy and to the point metroidvania, Kiki is my friend

unlabelledView post →Finally beat Pseudoregalia for myself yesterday for the first time. Near launch I got a 1/3 of the way in before bouncing off, until now. I think I really struggle and struggle to like metroidvania mapping, unless it's super simple like Gato Roboto. But da schmovement really carries the game for me

unlabelledView post →Gato Roboto: cute, short, very solid, no-frills search action game that would probably work great as a kids' intro to the genre. It won't surprise you basically at all, but it's executed really well store.steampowered.com/app/916730/G...
unlabelledView post →My first drawing of a cyborg bunny character I made named Bon E. Rabbot, drawn ironically on Different Strokes instead of paper or something. There is an indie game idea I had that I wanna make with her, inspired by Metroid, MegaMan, and Gato Roboto, but that'll probably have to wait.

unlabelledView post →Gunbrella is so underrated. Really an awesome game. I loved Gato Roboto, maybe I buy this for Demon Throttle haha
unlabelledView post →Today in my retro-style throwback series I take a look at Gato Roboto, a Metroid-style game that also evokes Sonic the Hedgehog's boss battles and Kirby: Planet Robobot's mech suit. It's a neat little monochrome game where you play as an adorable cat named Kiki! #gaming #retrogames #videogamess

unlabelledView post →hardcoregaming101.libsyn.com/gato-roboto Gato Roboto! A funny, light Metroid style game! purebred Metroid, no vampire in there. @kaly.bsky.social @shadowhog.bsky.social @bonuslizard.bsky.social 'n me talk about Search AND action! Search for the "Weird" Al quote! The cat from Alien is named Jonesy!
unlabelledView post →Gato Roboto If you like the Search Action genre and haven't played this yet, you should definitely check it out. You play as a cat (like, an actual cat) in a suit of power armor. You're "morphball" ability is jumping out of the suit - because you're just a cat. www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...
unlabelledView post →Gato Roboto [Archipelago] (PC game, 2019) This is an adorable little Metroidvania I played on Switch, and makes a great multiworld game. Or, at least, it probably does if the generator doesn't put your missiles (needed to progress past the small starting area) late in someone (1/2) #2026MediaThread
unlabelledView post →AND you get Gato Roboto, one of my all-time favorite indie games, for free???? 4-5 hour metroidvania that's quite literally Metroid, but you're a cat in a mech suit instead. You can leave the suit to traverse vents etc and it's such a great, short game. I recommend it every single chance I get!! 🐈⬛️
unlabelledView post →43. Gato Roboto I've had this for a while and decided to beat it cuz I'm super excited about this devs new game. I think this is a great mini-vania. It only takes about 4 hours to 100% and the map design is really fun! Only real issue is rocket jumps are a little janky. 8/10
unlabelledView post →38. Sometimes all you want is for a game to do something well without taking a ton of your time, and Gato Roboto is a damn near perfect little bite-sized metroidvania. Cute 1-bit art, classic traversal abilities with just a bit of a twist; it's just a delightful time all the way through.
unlabelledView post →Wanted to try taking down some of my shorter metroidvanias I recently bought before the year ends and started Gato Roboto it's a really cute and goofy game about a cat with a mech!!! It's been a really nice cozy time so far
unlabelledView post →Fantastic stream! We did in fact beat Gato Roboto! I had no idea it was a silly little game that’s a play on super Metroid! I had a good giggle at the ending!
unlabelledView post →I will be streaming today! Got some game trailers and tiktoks lined up. Plus we are starting Gato Roboto Today!
unlabelledView post →Gato Roboto is another game I highly recommend! Buy it first and then read my reasons why from this article from a couple of weeks ago. It's a wonderful Metroid-style game! #gaming #steam #steamsale #videogames
unlabelledView post →Gato Roboto Aug. 10th The second official MartenVania! This was cute. I felt the boss fights were a little long and far more difficult than the rest of the game. The final boss especially brought me to the point of almost quitting. But this was REALLY cute! I enjoyed it a lot.
unlabelledView post →Years ago I was on the fence about Gato Roboto. I saw a very popular negative steam review that said it wasn't worth it, you could finish the game in 5 hours Friends, I bought that game immediately. And it's great, I love it, you should play it

unlabelledView post →Gato Roboto another short metroidvania this one is about a cute cat with a mech!! Pretty simple game over all but enjoyable enough. Gets bonus points for cat
unlabelledView post →44. Gato Roboto A metroidvania that is a little too self-aware at times, for better or worse. The game KNOWS how cool it feels to move around when youre all powered up, but grows a little weary with the whole "zomg a cat in a metroidvania?!?!?!?". It's well made, short, worth a smoke.
unlabelledView post →Just beat Gato Roboto. Reely nice metroidvania game. I like the exploration and and combat. In general i will say its a good starting game if you wanna try a metroidvania game. Its a solid 8/10. Good game and i do recomend it. Here is my time and compleation rate (nice).

unlabelledView post →Just beat Gato Roboto 100% in 4 hours and 12 seconds. It's my third time beating it. I feel like it'll be a great Archipelago game. I know where everything is mostly, individual screen are labeled so I'll be able to find checks for other's quicker, and it's less than 5 hours. I'll be fun.
unlabelledView post →The constant live update thing has been a really really severe problem with some studios. Not everyone is Mr John "Veyerals" Voidrains and has a passion project like that Sometimes an indie studio wants to put out Gato Roboto and it's the full game & move on & that's good and fine actually
