Cat on a Diet

About

Cat on a Diet follows a feline determined to snack on cookies despite a strict diet. Players swipe and nudge objects to clear obstacles using tools like hammers, magnets, and explosives. Each level requires creative problem solving as the cat claws its way through destructible environments. The physics-based puzzles mix slapstick humor with straightforward mechanics making it easy to pick up but tricky to master. The game’s charm comes from its deadpan absurdity and escalating gadget variety. From unscrewing bolts to detonating uranium the methods to reach those treats grow increasingly ridiculous. Released in 2016 it maintains a solid 72/100 on Metacritic with users praising its lighthearted approach. Though short it offers enough clever level design to keep playing for a couple hours. The single-player experience feels polished for a budget indie title with smooth controls and colorful visuals.
