Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse~Bouche

About

Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse~Bouche follows Kebako, a cat-eared bounty hunter who zips through space chasing misfits and outlaws. Team up with her squishy alien partner Squiddie to tackle missions that switch between bullet-hell shooting, platforming, rhythm challenges, and even golf. Each level flips genres mid-play, demanding quick shifts from dodging projectiles to solving puzzles or jamming to a beat. The controls stay tight despite the chaos, though the sheer variety can feel jarring at times. The game stands out for its absurd charm and genre-hopping energy. Kebako’s deadpan personality and the over-the-top criminal antics keep the tone light. WayForward’s knack for quirky gameplay shows through, even if some modes feel undercooked. With 12 distinct genres packed into a single-player campaign, it’s a wild ride best approached as a collection of short, punchy experiences. The 2016 release still holds up for fans of chaotic, offbeat action.
