Our take on Pushcat
The focus on boulder movement, gem matching, mining, and cave exploration gives the game a distinctive activity mix, but its occasionally chaotic design may sacrifice a more controlled or predictable pace.
What is Pushcat?
Pushcat is an action adventure about a purple cat seeking silver across five worlds.
Gameplay combines boulder pushing, gem matching, and mining with cave exploration. The journey includes encounters with angry ghosts, hazardous traps, and combinations of science and magic.
