Narratively, the story of Kitten Burst isn’t exactly deep, it’s more like a hyperactive fever dream held together by dazzling visuals and a constant barrage of internet references that tap straight into early 2000s nostalgia.

6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A really enjoyable racing/bullet hell game that uses its unique early 2000's internet setting and style for creative level/character design and a surprisingly engaging and heartfelt story.
