Robot Wants Kitty


These small flash games are sure to resurrect the good old days of 2D side-scroller games. They can be regarded as mini-renaissance. But basically they are called ‘retro’ and people that play them are usually not aware of the source material. Nevertheless, Robot Wants Kitty is a perfect said renaissance that offers great experience, nice visuals, simple controls and goofy story.
Another name of this game could be ‘Metroidvania’ as it borrows a lot from the Nintendo’s Metroid and Castlevania. Game is pretty simple in its approach. The basic idea is to explore large areas, killing enemies to survive and getting power ups to get to the new areas and levels. Its simplicity is what makes this game great, giving players nice fun experience along with the effective and responsive controls resulting in a good flash game.
Well the storyline is weird in a funny manner, you play as a robot who for some reason wants to get a kitty cat, make any sense? Not at all, but any ways, you start off with no powers at all but as the game progresses you find power ups that enables you to reach you could not reach before and get the kitties, so that’s pretty much about it. One issue about this is that its too short, took me 24 minutes to complete it, but that’s how a flash game should be, short and fun to play. It is surely one of the most fun games to experience.
