Our take on Samurai Cat
The dramatic premise about mice ruling the world and cats nearing extinction frames the game, but the described play centers on arranging checkers-like pieces for captures across 41 fixed levels.
What is Samurai Cat?
Samurai Cat is a checkers-inspired puzzle game set in a world where mice have conquered the land and cats are nearly extinct.
Players control Mr. Jack and use cheese to draw mice into positions that allow their elimination in one move. The 41 handmade stages introduce objects that alter piece locations or briefly turn them into queens. Puzzles require arranging the board for a final sequence of captures. A stronger opponent can move around the board and withstand multiple attacks. Hidden scrolls provide historical secrets connected to the setting, while the levels take place in Japan.
