Our take on MagiCat
The adventure is structured as 63 platforming levels across seven worlds, with a distinct boss battle associated with every level.
What is MagiCat?
MagiCat is a side-scrolling platform game drawing on 16-bit-era titles, presented with pixel graphics and nostalgic music.
Players guide a magical cat through seven worlds and 63 stages, each ending in a boss fight, to recover a missing relic. The cat can dash, leap high, and cast fireballs, while items and extra abilities become available as the story advances. Players can also unlock different color palettes for the protagonist. A world map links the stages and contains hidden areas to find. The game pairs traditional platforming with newer elements, with a progression curve suited to players who enjoy a challenge.
