Our take on Alien Cat 8
The room-by-room coin requirement gives exploration a clear goal, but it also ties progress to collecting everything before an exit opens. That structure leaves less room for skipping optional items or choosing a different route through a level.
What is Alien Cat 8?
Alien Cat 8 is a side-view platform game in which a cat navigates a planet with unusual gravity.
The cat can climb vertical walls and move across ceilings, using those routes to cross gaps and reach coins hidden around each room. Mines and other obstacles appear across the levels, alongside tasks that challenge navigation. Collecting every coin opens a portal, but its position is concealed, so finding it is part of completing a room. The game uses pixel art and old-school platform gameplay. Its central loop is built around moving through rooms, gathering all their coins, and locating the exit portal.
How Alien Cat 8 plays
