Earlier today, I delved into the innovative blend of action, puzzle, and farming simulation with Super Farming Boy, highlighting how mobile platforms are becoming a playground for genre experimentation. Just when I thought I'd seen the most unusual game of the day, along came Adventures of a Cat in Space—a point-and-click adventure that's also a musical!
As the title suggests, Adventures of a Cat in Space puts you in the paws of a feline astronaut stranded in the cosmos due to a series of unfortunate events. Your only companion on this interstellar journey is the ship's AI, voiced by none other than Arthur Darvill, known for his role in Doctor Who. Together, you'll navigate the galaxy, explore alien worlds, and tackle puzzles to find your way back to Earth.
But what sets this game apart is its musical element. Yes, you read that right—it's a musical! Alongside solving puzzles, you'll collect 11 unique songs crafted by children's composer David Gibb, adding a melodious twist to your space-faring adventure.
Hairball in OrbitThe game will launch with a lite version, a nostalgic nod to the past, allowing players to experience the first chapter and get acquainted with the core mechanics. While I can't speak to its appeal for young puzzle enthusiasts, I'm confident that many adults will appreciate the game's quirky humor.
Adventures of a Cat in Space will be available on the iOS App Store, with no Android release announced yet. If you're craving more puzzle-solving action, don't miss our comprehensive list of the top 25 best puzzlers for iOS and Android!
