Scratch the Cat

About

Scratch the Cat is a 3D platformer where you play a feline DJ navigating a world built around music. You leap between floating stage platforms, spin records to trigger environmental changes, and battle giant musical instruments to recover your stolen vinyl. The core loop mixes precise jumps with timed audio cues, letting you manipulate the environment by dropping beats or shifting the tempo. Combat feels tactile as you dodge piano keys and dodge laser harps, each boss tied to a different genre. The game stands out for its tight level design and how music directly affects traversal. Players who enjoy rhythm-based mechanics or creative platforming challenges might appreciate the way scratching records can shift gravity or freeze obstacles. While not explosive in scope, it maintains a consistent charm and polish, with a small but active community praising its inventive use of sound. Available on PC and next-gen consoles, it offers a compact but rewarding single-player adventure.
