Earlier today, I delved into the intriguing world of Super Farming Boy, a unique blend of action, puzzle-solving, and farming simulation, highlighting how mobile platforms are becoming a fertile ground for genre experimentation. I thought that was the most unusual game I'd cover today, but I was pleasantly mistaken with the announcement of Adventures of a Cat in Space, an upcoming point-and-click adventure that adds a musical twist to the mix!
Adventures of a Cat in Space is exactly what you'd expect from its whimsical title. After a series of unfortunate events, you find yourself playing as a cat stranded in the vastness of space. Your only companion? The ship's AI, voiced by none other than Arthur Darvill, known for his role in Doctor Who. Together, you'll navigate through the galaxy, explore alien planets, and tackle puzzles to find your way back home.
But here's the kicker: this isn't just any adventure game; it's a musical! That's right, as you guide the cat through its cosmic journey, you'll also be treated to 11 distinct songs crafted by the talented children's composer David Gibb. This all-ages adventure promises not only to challenge your puzzle-solving skills but also to entertain with its musical interludes.
Hairball in orbitAdventures of a Cat in Space will launch with a lite version, a nostalgic nod to the past, allowing you to experience the initial chapter and get acquainted with the core mechanics. While I can't predict how well it will cater to the puzzle-solving prowess of your kids, I'm confident that its quirky humor will appeal to adults looking for something delightfully different.
You'll find Adventures of a Cat in Space available on the iOS App Store, though there's no news yet on an Android release. If you're eager for more puzzle-solving fun, don't miss our comprehensive list of the top 25 best puzzlers for iOS and Android!
