Joke Game Cat Girl Without Salad is now Live

Cat Girl Without Salad- Amuse Bouche is out! Watch the gameplay trailer here:

The star of Cat Girl is Kebako, a cute, clueless-but-surprisingly-effective intergalactic bounty hunter who travels through space with her faithful companion, Squiddie. The fully-voiced story is bonkers in all the right ways, with sarcastic dialogue, plenty of meta-jokes, and several unlikely, over-the-top villains. It’s all aggressively absurd.

Gameplay is far more conventional—to a degree. This is your standard horizontally-scrolling shooter, with Kebako firing at enemies arriving from the right side of the screen. Each of the game’s three levels begins with a gauntlet of floating enemies who fire projectiles and perform melee attacks and culminates in a multi-stage boss battle. If Kebako sustains too many hits it’s back to the start—unless you spend accumulated points to continue where you left off.

The game diverges dramatically from the pack, however, with its power-ups. You start with a pea shooter—a literal pea shooter—and upgrade to new weapons by collecting video game cartridges left behind by defeated enemies. Each cartridge grants Kebako a gun designed around a gaming genre. The sports gun allows you to line up a putt and fire a golf ball at the bad guys; the arcade gun deploys a Pac-Man-esque bot that players can direct in cardinal directions using the face buttons; the RPG gun provides a command prompt to attack, perform magic, heal, or run in true turn-based fashion; and so on.
