Fun little metroidvania, quite silly and charming. Worth a buy but don't expect too much replayability, took me 10h to ace the thing, last boss was a b&tch to go though.

Such a fun game. Nothing terribly difficult, but such an amazing experience. Also, really enjoyed the story... all the "enemies" end up being totally relatable by end game. Although it shows only 4 hours of gameplay, I do have an additional 8 hours of gameplay via Steam Deck that somehow did not get logged (possibly because I was traveling and in "OFFLINE" mode). I'm nearing what feels like the end of the game and feels like I have less than 3 hours of pure gameplay left... making this an extremely enjoyable 15ish hour casual difficulty Metroidvania-esque action platformer. Although I have an amazing experience with this game, it's not without it's quarks. There are many times when there can be sprite overload and audio/framerate tends to get sacrificed. Nothing game breaking, but noticeable. Other than that, no real bugs or noticeable performance issues. HIGHLY recommend this game. I'd say it feels very reminiscent of the momodora series in terms of difficulty and play style with it's own unique combat "weapons". I'm a MV/Action Platformer junkie, and I definitely plan on finishing this game through and plaything through again in the future!

This was one of the nicest and most satisfying games I've ever played, At first I thought it would be a short, cute, little adventure game, but the story was charming and the characters where delightful. I ended up getting 100% for my save and missed my chance to get the bad ending but thats okay, this one is well worth a second playthrough. If you enjoy metroidvanias this one is a top tier indie game.

I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this game, especially after playing Fearmonium by the same dev. Despite coming out before Fearmonium, Catmaze is by far the better one of the two. The combat feels better, the platforming feels better, the mechanics are more interesting and even the story is way better, both in what it sets out to do and in the delivery. That is not to say that the game is perfect, far from it, it contains a multitude of jank and small flaws that you would expect from a one-person project (in that, it was programmed by one person, to my understanding), however the game has enough charm that it's easy to overlook those flaws and still enjoy it regardless. I saw other reviews reporting a bug about falling through moving platforms and I'll gladly report that I have not encountered it once during my playthrough, which means it likely has been patched. One "bug" or just unintended behaviour I did encounter that almost made me drop the game however was a much smaller section near the ending of the game. Trying to avoid spoilers: there is a puzzle where you control the main character as a child, in this form she doesn't have any abilities besides those she has at the start of the game and her jump is significantly shorter, to the point even simple jumps over small pits feel pixel perfect in the distance you need to travel. While solving a puzzle in this state, I came up with the correct solution to the puzzle but was unable to execute it due to the jump coming up just a few pixels short of the platform I needed to reach. Again- it was not a hard jump in principle, I was literally standing on a barrel and pressing space to jump to a platform that was directly above the barrael, yet no matter what I did the character just wouldn't get on. Miraculously, after about 20 minutes of trying, the game just randomly decided to finally let me jump on top of that platform, which im thankful for because I was about ready to give up and accept that the game was simply broken. Still, I don't think that one instance is enough to give the whole game a bad review, I'm just writing it down here in case anyone else encounters a similar problem.
