## What is Crunchyroll?

MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED - Exclusive to Crunchyroll Mega and Ultimate Fan Memberships

CATO: Buttered Cat is an adorable puzzle platformer, inspired by the buttered-cat paradox meme: Cats always land on their feet, and toast always lands buttered side down. Therefore, by strapping a piece of buttered toast to a cat's back, you create a paradox that results in an infinitely spinning, floating butter-cat perpetual motion machine!

The game revolves around the two main characters, "Cat" and "Buttered Toast." You'll need to use the interactions between them to solve various puzzles at each game level. There are also hidden rooms, challenging boss battles, and fun mini-games. 

Key Features

- Features over 140 main levels and more than 60 side levels!
- When Cat and Buttered Toast combine, they trigger a paradox, taking the cat to unreachable places!
- Cats are liquid! Toast can jump! 
- 200+ handcrafted puzzles, 7+ hours of main-story gameplay
- 50+ unlockable skins to customize Cats and Buttered Toast
- 5 unique mini-games

Are you ready to fly with Cat and Buttered Toast?

### 3/5 — Great game — clunky / bugged login

*2026-02-08*

This game is a blast. Super fun, and lots of little secrets to uncover in quite a few of the levels. However, every time I want to open it, I get prompted to log in to Crunchyroll. That in and of itself wouldn’t be a huge deal since I use a passwords manager, but because of how the login screen is designed, it doesn’t recognize the email field as a login ID, so I have to either manually type out my email, or tap the field, select Auto Fill and then manually select my email from the accounts that pop up. THEN I have to reselect the account AGAIN to fill the passwod because the next “screen” enables a password box. If the login screen is going to be glitchy, at least just make there be one single screen with email and password so that I can fill it once and not have to go through about 10 clicks and 30+ seconds of time EVERY time I launch the game to play it for 5 minutes. If that gets fixed, I would bump my rating up to 5 stars in a heartbeat.

**Developer response:** Corinne, it's wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying the game and discovering its secrets! 💛 However, we truly appreciate your feedback regarding the login process. The multiple steps can definitely be time-consuming, and we recognize how that could impact your experience. Your suggestion for a more streamlined login screen is valuable, and we’ll make sure it gets noted. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! We hope to make your gaming experience even better in the future!

### 5/5 — I love it.

### 5/5 — Great bathroom/time killer

*2025-11-18*

I didn’t expect it to be as well done as it is. Puzzles are challenging but it’s nice that the puzzles are short so I can complete them in a bathroom break or when I’m just killing time. The cat and toast are adorable and I like the concept of perpetual energy. Well done and I recommend it to anyone who likes puzzle games.

**Developer response:** Hi! We're so happy to hear you enjoy the game and find it well-crafted! It’s fantastic that the puzzles fit perfectly into your bathroom breaks, and we love that you appreciate the charming elements like the cat and toast. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us! 😊

### 5/5 — Good but…

*2025-10-23*

It is a really fun game I pre ordered it and once I got the game I started playing for some time and I had to go for a while so when I came back after 2 hours I had to make a crunchy roll mega account where I get full access to the game vault and I already have an account for crunchy roll and I would have to pay $11.99 extra to play the game but still it’s very fun and it’s a cool cat toast game

**Developer response:** Hi Maximus9412! 💛 It's wonderful to see that you're enjoying the game! We appreciate your feedback regarding the account requirements and the added cost. Just to clarify, the game is part of the Game Vault collection, which is available to Mega and Ultimate Fan members. If you’re new, there’s even a 7-day free trial to explore all the features! Your enjoyment really fuels our community, and we value your insights! Thank you for being a part of our anime family! 🌟

### 3/5 — Amazing game buuuut…

*2025-10-22*
