CAT GIRL WITHOUT SALAD: AMUSE-BOUCHE Looks Like the Most Ridiculously Fun Game Out There
Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse Bouche is a PC puzzle game from WayForward, but it recently got the move to Nintendo Switch. That’s right, all those posts you saw weren’t an elaborate April Fool’s joke even though the game started as one back in 2013.
I haven’t played this game yet, but based on the trailer, it is so freaking crazy and I love it. First, I must say that I adore the artwork for the game. WayForward’s art team is incredible. But then to even attempt to combine all the genres is at least worth a look.
Described in the initial April Fool’s joke as a chaotic, category-defying ubergame that could be all things to all players, Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse-Bouche is a side-scrolling 2D shoot-'em-up featuring weapon power-ups inspired by various game genres — including puzzle, sports, platformer, rhythm, and RPG. Wielding this unconventional arsenal is Kebako, an intergalactic cat-eared bounty hunter, who’s accompanied by her faithful companion, Squiddie, as she flies and blasts her way through wave after wave of quirky enemies. The absurd, fully voiced story unfolds alongside the action, which culminates in epic, multiphase boss battles against the galaxy's most implausible criminals, such as pyromaniac rockstar Gunnar Crossbones, insane cook Chefinoff, and vengeful Uramiko (AKA Cat Grill)!
You can now play Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse-Bouche on Nintendo Switch for $7.99.
