Pix the Cat

It's a maze game, like Pac-Man, Mappy, or Ladybug, but with 21st century flair.

It's a spiritual successor to Chu Chu Rocket with score attack gameplay similar to the Pacman Championship Edition games. I haven't played in a year, and much of my playtime was done in offline mode, I'm mostly writing this because I'm surprised this game hasn't received more attention given how polished and fun it is. The controls may not be for everyone, but if you enjoy games like snake that require precision timing to accomplish any feat of high scoring it shouldn't be that unusual to get used to. The art direction is really fun and, if played on a big enough screen, actually lets you telegraph the next level to start strategizing as you're playing as you descend further into the map. The other game modes offer a refreshing break from the frantic 'in the zone' gameplay of the main mode. The music and announcers make playing through a regular round enjoyable and work well with frequently dying or having an excellent run. I bought this 8-9 years ago at full price ($9.99) because I was on a 'new arcade style game' and sometimes still pick this back up over Pacman CE 1 or 2 when I want to scratch that itch. It's more than worth the full price now (half of what I paid) and criminal that more people aren't picking this gem up when it's on sale for the price of a jumbo gumball (74 cents?!). If you like arcade style games like Chu Chu Rocket and games like Pacman Championship Edition: just buy it.
