Gato Roboto 2019

Is it still worth playing?

Kiki, a cat, steps on her owner's keyboard and crashes their spaceship on an alien planet, then has to save him in a mech suit, in this 2019 Metroidvania drawn in black and white. In the suit she gets health, an arm cannon and upgrades such as missiles, a spin that works as a double jump and a dash through lava and enemy fire. She can leave it whenever she likes to fit through tight gaps, climb walls and swim, but outside it one hit kills her. A submarine suit handles the water. To reach the lab, where she may find a way to free her owner Gary, she clears the planet's aqueducts, heating and ventilation, and new abilities open routes that were closed. Hidden cassettes unlock color palettes, and most players finish it in a few hours. It still plays well for the switch between the armed suit and the fragile cat, each reaching places the other cannot.
