Summary
“Cattie” is a platformer game that boasts charming pixel art graphics and a manageable download size of 89MB. One of its appealing features is the inclusion of both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions, along with the coveted Platinum trophy. The game offers a screenshake option that can be toggled on or off, catering to player preferences. The initial levels serve as tutorials, easing players into the mechanics of jumping, wall jumping, and punching. The primary objective is to reach the exit, with checkpoints acting as respawn points, ensuring that any deaths result in a return to the last checkpoint or the beginning of the level.
The gameplay is straightforward to learn, with handy current-level playing text to guide players. However, as the game progresses, it transforms into a reflex-heavy platformer that demands quick responses. One notable drawback is that attacking causes the character to remain stationary with a limited area of effect, making it challenging to hit enemies consistently, especially while jumping. The difficulty of the levels varies significantly, with some being overly simple and others requiring frustratingly precise movements.
On the downside, the music in “Cattie” is not particularly memorable, and the trophy list is rather uninspiring. Despite these shortcomings, the game offers a mix of enjoyable and challenging moments, making it a worthwhile experience for platform enthusiasts. Overall, “Cattie” provides a blend of good and bad elements, with its charming graphics and accessible gameplay being offset by inconsistent level difficulty and lackluster audio, for quick trophies and a game that is just enough action to stimulate your brain it is a good choice.
