Earlier today, I was discussing the intriguing mix of action, puzzle, and farming simulation in the upcoming game Super Farming Boy, noting how mobile platforms seem to be a fertile ground for genre experimentation. I thought that would be the most unique release I'd cover today, but I was pleasantly mistaken. Now, I find myself diving into the whimsical world of Adventures of a Cat in Space—a point-and-click adventure with a twist that's out of this world!
Adventures of a Cat in Space is exactly what it sounds like: a delightful tale of a cat stranded in the vastness of space. Through a series of unfortunate events, you take on the role of this lost feline, navigating the galaxy with nothing but the ship's AI, voiced by the talented Arthur Darvill, known for his role in Doctor Who, to guide you home. Your journey will take you across alien planets, where you'll solve puzzles and unravel the mysteries of the cosmos.
But wait, there's more! This game isn't just an adventure; it's a musical adventure. Yes, you read that right. As you guide the cat through its interstellar journey, you'll be treated to 11 original songs crafted by children's composer David Gibb. This all-ages game promises not only to challenge your puzzle-solving skills but also to delight your ears with its musical numbers.
Hairball in orbitAdventures of a Cat in Space will launch with a lite version, a throwback to the days when such releases were more common. This initial chapter will introduce you to the game's core mechanics and give you a taste of what's to come. While I can't guarantee how well it will cater to the puzzle-solving prowess of younger audiences, I'm confident that many adults will appreciate the game's quirky humor and engaging storyline.
You'll be able to find Adventures of a Cat in Space on the iOS App Store, though there's no news yet on an Android release. If you're itching for more puzzle-solving action in the meantime, don't forget to check out our comprehensive list of the top 25 best puzzlers for iOS and Android!
