Games like CATO: Buttered Cat

Steam reviews

What players say

Players overwhelmingly like this cute puzzle platformer for its clever cat-and-toast mechanics, though many find it easy and some puzzles grate.

Many players enjoy the central idea of controlling a cat and a buttered toast whose two movement sets combine into a flying, infinitely jumping duo, and say the puzzles introduce new mechanics well and build complexity across five worlds. Players praise the cute pixel art, the cat and toast skins unlocked through hidden rooms, the mini-games and the calm pace. Some players find the puzzles easy and solvable by trial and error, while others report a steep difficulty spike in the third world and timing-heavy late puzzles. Players also mention a repetitive soundtrack, a thin story and a few confusing levels. Players of all playtimes recommend it, and reviews from the last year are broadly in line with Steam's very positive totals.

Who it suits

Suited to players who like cute, relaxed puzzle platformers and cats, and to families, since the puzzles scale from simple to clever.

Who should skip it

Players who want deep, very challenging puzzles or a strong story should look elsewhere, as many find it easy and thin on narrative.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with longer playtimes more often mention the difficulty spikes and timing-heavy late puzzles, while newer players focus on the charm and simplicity.
