99 Pixel Cats is a puzzle-adventure game that combines creativity, reflection, and skill. Hand-drawn by a Belgian artist, the game features a distinctive visual style that reflects its indie roots.
The story follows a mining ship captain whose mission shifts when a cargo of 99 pixel cats crashes on Venus. Players must navigate underground caves filled with puzzles and hazards to rescue the stranded cats. The gameplay gradually introduces new mechanics, challenging players with a mix of reflex-based tasks and problem-solving scenarios.
Interactive environments allow for various approaches to puzzles, as blocks can be moved, destroyed, or terraformed. This flexibility encourages creative solutions and replayability.
