I Wanna Be the Cat

About

You play as a determined cat hunter tasked with battling iconic video game characters transformed into feline foes. The game mixes twitchy platforming with permadeath roguelite elements, forcing you to adapt to procedurally generated levels and unpredictable enemy behaviors. Each run challenges your reflexes and memory as you face off against cat versions of familiar faces, all while collecting upgrades to inch closer to claiming the "THE CAT" title. Cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes let friends join the fray, adding chaos to the already chaotic battles. With a 4.6/5 user rating on Steam, the game’s charm lies in its absurd premise and relentless difficulty. Players praise the tight controls and the humor of seeing beloved characters as goofy cats. Nemega’s fangame roots show in the cheeky references and tight design, though the high learning curve may frustrate newcomers. It’s a niche pick for those who enjoy punishing platformers with a playful twist.
