What is CATO: Buttered Cat?

A pixel-art puzzle platformer set across levels in five worlds. You guide a cat through pipes and launch buttered toast across obstacles, then combine them to float and solve puzzles. Hidden rooms and boss fights appear as fragments of the pair's story reveal what they are searching for.
