Throughout the world Kiki can discover voice logs which speak of a mad scientist obsessed with keeping his sickly dog Barkley alive. Gary then sends Kiki out to find a mech suit, explore the planet, and find a way to get off of it. Both survive, but Gary is trapped with the wrecked ship, while Kiki is outside of it. While flying towards the planet, Kiki steps on the ship's keyboard causing the ship to crash land. In the distant future, Gary and his cat Kiki are piloting a spaceship to a distress call in an alien planet. Throughout the game's world there are many upgrades, including movement abilities, health upgrades, and cassette tapes which unlock optional color palette swaps for the game's 1-bit graphics. Access to the lab is blocked off until the player clears the planet's aqueducts, heating system, and ventilation system, after doing which they advance to the lab, the final area of the game.

The player's main goal is to enter the lab of the alien planet Kiki is stranded on in order to find a way to free Kiki's owner, Gary. Other mechs, including a submarine and a turret, can be found throughout the game. However, while inside of a mech suit (which can be obtained at most save points) she gains multiple hit points, a gun attack, as well as several other upgrades found throughout the game, such as a double jump and a dash ability.

She is unable to damage enemies or use any other abilities, and dies in one hit. By default, Kiki can climb and jump off of walls, swim in water, and fit through small gaps. In Gato Roboto players control a cat named Kiki.

The game follows a cat named Kiki attempting to save her owner after they crash land on an alien planet, forcing Kiki to don a mech suit and explore the planet's depths. Gato Roboto is a 2D Metroidvania video game developed by American studio Doinksoft and published by Devolver Digital on May 30, 2019.
