Pit Cat is a physics-based, trajectory-calculating puzzler
- Pit Cat sees you launching an unfortunate cat around the level
- Predict trajectories to launch him and avoid obstacles as you ricochet
- It’s a good thing that he always lands on his feet!
In gaming, it’s not uncommon for a puzzler to lean heavily into the cuteness of its main character over the difficulty of its gameplay. Just look at something like Hello Kitty Friends Match, for example. But occasionally, a developer like Juanma Altamirano manages to marry cutesy stylisation with genuinely challenging puzzles.
Yes, despite appearances, Pit Cat is not made for the faint of heart or those lacking skill at puzzles. This newly-released puzzler definitely may have an adorable cat as its main character, but it’s not short on challenge. As it’s your job to guide Pit through 100 levels, launching him with precise aim to bounce around a level.
Of course, in your way are a variety of obstacles you’ll need to avoid. Sometimes it’ll take multiple launches as you bounce from object to object, and you’ll need to precisely calculate the trajectory to ensure that Pit doesn’t go flying off course!
Bad luck
Despite the decidedly odd concept, Pit Cat is a surprisingly straightforward little puzzler. And undoubtedly the cute-looking, stylised little Pit is sure to be adorable enough to elicit an aww from all but the most jaded of players.
And with 100 different levels, it means you have plenty of time to get to grips with the mechanics of this puzzler. By the looks of it, if you’re not a fan of precision, this may not be for you, but if you like putting your skills of perception and prediction to the test, then Pit Cat offers a good compromise between a more difficult puzzler and a casual one.
