Our take on Tricky Cat
The central constraint is that the cat must cross each tile without stepping on it again; clearing the tiles opens a portal to the next level.
What is Tricky Cat?
Tricky Cat is a puzzle platformer in which a cat jumps across tile-based levels.
Clear each tile without landing on one again, then use the portal that appears to move on to the next level. Falling can interrupt a run, but a respawn gives the cat another chance. Later stages introduce rotating spike tiles and teleport tiles, adding mechanics to the increasingly complex puzzles. The game uses simple controls and a colorful visual style, with progress through the levels at the player's own pace.
How Tricky Cat plays
- 01Tile-clearing puzzles
- Each level requires jumping across tiles without returning to ones already crossed before reaching the portal.
- 02Changing tile mechanics
- Later puzzles add rotating spikes and teleport tiles.
- 03Respawn after falling
- A fall can be followed by another attempt through the respawn mechanic.
