Katto: Rising Tides

Katto: Rising Tides is a 3D platformer set in the ancient kingdom of Egatlea. You play as Katto, chosen by the feline deity Kathsa to recover five stolen gems from the Nari and restore peace to the Felyn cities.

The kingdom of Egatlea

The Felyn once lived peacefully under Kathsa’s protection. She gave each of the five cities—Kathse, Macska, Qattus, Catlantis and Cathenas—five gems to call on her in times of danger. The gems represented the cities’ unity and mutual dependence. The Nari, inhabitants of the ocean surrounding Egatlea, invaded with a powerful army, seized the gems and occupied the cities’ temples, putting the kingdom at risk of conquest.

Katto has already shown the skill to infiltrate the temples, fight the invaders and recover stolen gems, despite the Nari having taken the gems’ protectors prisoner. Now the Nari hold the five gems again. You must reclaim them and gather them in an ancient amulet to summon Kathsa, whose help can drive out the invaders.

Traverse and fight

You jump across gaps, dash past obstacles, climb walls and move between floors. The levels take you through winding corridors and busy marketplaces, where you avoid hazards and overcome enemies. You defeat foes by stomping on them or dashing into them, timing your jumps and attacks to land precisely.

Levels and style

The game includes three unique levels and a boss fight. Its art draws on Greco-Roman styles, and its soundtrack was made by students from Berklee College of Music Valencia.
