Our take on Undercat
The pitch emphasizes freedom in completing missions, but the listed ways to approach them center on hiding, ambushing, tricking enemies, and finding secrets. Co-op is framed as opening less obvious opportunities without explaining what those opportunities are.
What is Undercat?
Undercat is a 2D platformer with missions set in an animal city ruled by Cats.
Players control dogs aligned with the Resistance and choose how to approach each mission. Hiding in bushes, crates, or trash containers can set up ambushes, while hidden routes and secrets offer other ways through the environment. Enemies can also be provoked or tricked to avoid a fight. A friend can join in same-screen co-op, which the vendor says can reveal less obvious opportunities. For competition, the game includes four PvP modes: Combat, Racing, Collecting, and Marking. Players can also collect coins by shaking up cats.
