Pix the Cat

Pix the Cat

Operating on the same basic mechanics, Pix the Cat features multiple modes that could probably be presented as separate little games instead. The arguable showcase is the Pac-Man reminiscent Arcade. There are multiple similarities to the relatively recent Pac-Man Championship Editions in particular, with the whole game being on a timer, a rising speed meter and presenting a series of little boards for you to clear. And let’s not forget Championship Edition DX had those little ghosts following you in a snake-like fashion.

This game is like some bizarro version of Pac Man Championship Edition DX+, requiring many of the same skills. It’s also much harder.

The goal of each board is to grab all the eggs, then walk over every circle. A chick will hatch out of every egg you touch and start following you, forcing you to play Snake until you can drop them onto the circles and get rid of them. For maximum points, you need to pick up every egg on the board before stepping on a single circle, turning most boards into a tough pathfinding puzzle. The most creative idea at work here is the way you can take portals back to previous levels at any time, which is sometimes required for playing optimally.

Kakatte Koi Yo!

Captures cute and fun, whimsy with a competitive spirit. It’s great as a party game, but with a slight learning curve.

I love the art and the music is great! And while it seems like a simple concept, some levels feature some creatively ingenious designs.

This is definitely staying in my party game rotation

A really good puzzle games which is a little more than just a mobile port as there are more stages. Be aware that only one solution worth 3 stars, I found some alternate solution requesting the same amount of arrows and only got 2 stars out of those which is a little bit annoying.

I still regret the fact that the mobile version doesn’t exist anymore as we still have access to the stickers and they are damn cute.

Blob Cat is a mobile app that’s been dumped on Steam as a lazy cash grab. It’s a cutesy action/puzzle iPhone app. This is a ripoff of an old Dreamcast game called Chu Chu Rocket. The developers have added multiplayer to the game, although there’s not much market for multiplayer puzzle games. Place arrows on the grid/maze and then watch the cat chase the mice along their predetermined course, following the directions of the arrows you set.

The tablet port isn’t badly done compared to most tablet ports, with some graphics and even resolution settings. Graphics are well polished “cutesy” blob graphics, which aren’t great but they’re not badly done. Gameplay is quite stale, being a ripoff of Chu Chu Rocket and some other games from a decade or so ago. Multiplayer doesn’t add much. Overall this is the kind of thing that might be done in flash, the tablet-centric nature of the game should have been evident to the developers that it doesn’t really belong on PC. The interface is quite clunky as a result of the tablet heritage.

If you’re looking for a fun and polished cartoon style kart racer you can’t go far wrong with this title. It still needs improving in certain areas but a solid early access title.

Rating

Overview

Meow Motors is a cartoon styled kart racer resembling similar titles such as Mario Kart and Table Top Racing. You race around various themed circuits with a certain goal in mind. You need to either win the race, get a good drift score or eliminate a number of opponents using weapon pick ups laid out on the track.

The Short Version

Meow Motors is a go-kart racing game that is currently in Early Access with a simple story and a reasonably lengthy campaign. It draws much from Mario Kart in terms of its similarities, and it offers a decent amount of fun. The game currently offers local split-screen multiplayer functionality, but no online multiplayer option as of this time (July 2018). It is a good game, and is fun to play. Thus I am recommending this game at this time.

My daughter adores this game. It caters to her generation pretty well imo…and it has really familiarized her with the quirks and overall feel of video gaming. She’s told me that sometimes her cat friends stop following her, and sometimes the cars don’t allow you to exit them..but besides that we haven’t run into any bugs. The open maps are awesome, and she loves that she can just run around and do whatever.

A few things my daughter has mentioned makes me think new levels, accessories, eye colors, and some emotive animations for the characters to perform would make it a little more fleshed out (though she recently discovered she can sit and lie down, which was excited with.) She had a huuge blast with the waterballoon fight mechanic. Some mini games (maybe races or mini golf or something?) would maybe give the game a little more in the way of activities to offer. Overall a great introductory game for young kids that offers some things I’ve noticed most children’s games do not, among them an avenue to use your imagination.

I spent far too many hours in the demo, worried if an adult should buy a kitten game aimed at toddlers. Just do it. I’m in my 40s and love it as a game to just chill in. Not only is it pretty, but there are seasons and day and night cycles. Your kitten posse that you gather with each rescue even helps out, though I’m not sure if it’s on purpose. But you can bounce off them to execute a super double jump, results will vary.

Some of the fish are a challenge to jump to for a game aimed at wee ones, but they have to learn platforming sometime. In the full game there are plenty of places to explore and things to do. Honestly tripping humans and knocking things off tables never gets old. You can also take a break to “paint”, visit space, or hit the beach. As it’s an all around labor of love, it got my vote for the upcoming awards. Best of luck to the dev, it’s amazing to see how far this game has come.

Sparkles & Gems

A really special gem of a game with a perfectly consistent visual aesthetic and a rocking soundtrack. The match 3 puzzle mechanics alone are fresh but familiar. Treasure mode alone is just a fun grind that I can see myself putting a lot of time into in my future.

What makes this game something truly special and likely to make my game of the year list is the story mode. It drew me in quickly as I tried to understand what this game was. The writing feels familiar but also completely original. It’s strange reality depicted somehow feels more true to life than any ““realistic”” story game I’ve played. This game is really unique. Any point of comparison I can think of would be a disservice to just how special this game really is.

This game is like if Breakout, Bejeweled, and Tetris multiplayer had an orgy and made the ultimate casual game. Each element is familiar but put together really well in a way that makes it fresh and exciting. The gameplay is top notch and super addicting. Games can get really close, and there are often nail-biting moments where you think you’re screwed but barely come out on top. In addition the game is super satisfying to play, which I chalk up to the excellent sound design. Breaking gems and hitting combos never fails to scratch an itch. The music is also really catchy and gets stuck in your head quite easily.

This brawler is frantic, chaotic and beautiful. The 8bit visuals are spot on during the fights and the characters are great. The overall gameplay is fantastic and it is at its best when played with other people. There is also an Arcade mode that reminds me a lot of the mode found in Smash Bros for the N64 and they made 2 extra characters unlocked through gameplay.

The battle system works in a one hit kill fashion, with every character posessing his own unique attacks and moving at different paces, while the enviroment counts on spikes, death traps, rolling boulders and the like to make everything more difficult. I’m enjoying it a lot, and believe it’s a worth investment of your money and time.
