Itty Bitty Toilet Kitty

Itty Bitty Toilet Kitty is a game that tackles the moral dilemmas of church and religion and how false gods create war and the death of innocent lives

Unironically one of the best games I've played in a bit.

2/10. This is absolutely one of those games you only play for the theme and the storyline. The actual gameplay is truly atrocious. Enemies bounce around the screen following no particular pattern, and if you happen to overlap with them you hit the spacebar to destroy them. It's a real shame because the writing is humorous and fun and the setting is entertaining. I suffered through the 3rd level several times in a row, hoping in vain that I would pass it so that I could continue to enjoy the only good part of the game. After rage quitting I came back awhile later only to discover that I'd have to sit through every single level again including unskippable cutscenes to give it another try :-( Time to uninstall instead. Look, I understand this is not a serious effort. It is just meant to be a bit of lighthearted distraction. But a tiny bit more effort on the gameplay could have made a package that was enjoyable by far more people than what you have produced here.

The whole thing takes less than 10 minutes to finish. It's cute. Not much gameplay here, you're just a cat that jumps and swats at things until they die. It works. I bought it as part of a charity bundle on Fanatical, so I have no negative thoughts about it. It's short, fairly entertaining, and I enjoyed it.

This is a wonderfully silly and short game where you play as a vigilant cat protecting your owner, Claire, while she’s on the toilet. What begins as a humorous premise quickly escalates into chaotic action when a rat invades the bathroom, revealing a bizarre and unexpectedly intense showdown. The gameplay is straightforward. You can move left or right, jump, and claw at anything that threatens Claire. Confined entirely to a single bathroom screen, the game is still hectic thanks to enemies that bounce around unpredictably. While there’s no deep strategy involved, the fast-paced combat requires quick reflexes, especially since defeated enemies can still harm Claire during their dramatic death animations. Keeping her alive until the timer runs out becomes quite a challenge. Despite the simplicity, what makes the game memorable are the hilarious story segments between rounds. The plot dives into absurdity, introducing toilet monsters who are under pressure to devour Claire or face punishment from the ominous Sewage God. The game humanizes these creatures, particularly one named Clive. His defeated debriefs before the general, where he mourns fallen comrades, including his best man from the wedding, and questions the legitimacy of their mission, adds humor. The entire experience lasts about 20 minutes, which contains a handful of rounds and even a boss fight. But despite some intense challenge, the overall difficulty shouldn’t be that tough to face.

It's not a terrible game, the writing gave me a chuckle. But the controls are clunky and the gameplay just isn't much fun. I am sorry to the dev, who clearly put a lot of work into it, but I want to be honest and I just wouldn't recommend this to a friend.
