Stars in the Trash

About

Stars in the Trash lets you play as Moka, a pampered housecat who flees his boring life only to face real-world dangers. As he navigates city streets, you'll jump between platforms, solve environmental puzzles, and battle the mysterious kennelman. The game blends fast-paced action with quieter exploration, letting you collect items and interact with NPCs to advance the story. Simple controls make the platforming accessible, while puzzle solutions often rely on Moka's feline instincts like pouncing or pawing at objects. Valhalla Cats crafts a short but emotionally resonant journey about growing up and valuing what you have. With a runtime of around 6-8 hours, it balances charm and tension as Moka shifts from self-centered escapee to responsible protector. Early access feedback highlights the game's colorful animation style and tight level design, though some note the story beats are predictable. Launching December 9, 2024, it'll run on PC and Switch, offering a portable escape for fans of narrative-driven platformers with a dash of whimsy.
