it’s good to see yoshio ishii return to his roots, and by that i mean games starring cats.
cat gets 100 stars is a simple, playful game that suggests that the reason super mario bros. (the game that introduced the star as a goal item into videogame iconography) and jumping games like it are so compelling is because their otherwise-small worlds are rich with secrets, many of which you’ll stumble upon by accident just by moving through the world.

Reminds me of Achievement Unlocked. All of this guy’s games are good fun and this one is too so uh keep up the good work
And Dess this review actually vaguely made sense so keep up the work maybe keep your reviews to a paragraph and you won’t seem as pretentious
Jesus, that’s rude. She obviously doesn’t think the Internet needs more game reviews, which is probably why she avoids simply reviewing them.
thanks for pointing this out. i love yoshio ishii.
But she’s doing the main thing reviews are supposed to do, which is telling you what it’s like to play the damn game.
Pretentious is a word people mis-use when their tiny little minds can’t envelop a scenario where someone would act with a candid articulate sophistication.
Apologies for the spittle.
Heh, personally I find it amusing when people misuse “pretentious”. Fills up my % daily value of Irony quite nicely.
I really liked this game. It was kind of a meditation on space. I explored more in this game’s single screen than I do in other games’ hundreds of screens.
