Earlier today, I wrote about the intriguing mix of action, puzzle, and farming simulator in Super Farming Boy, highlighting how mobile platforms are becoming a hub for innovative genre blends. I thought that would be the most unusual game I'd cover today, but I was mistaken. Enter the whimsical world of Adventures of a Cat in Space, a point-and-click adventure that's also a musical!
Adventures of a Cat in Space lives up to its name perfectly. You play as a cat who, due to a series of unfortunate events, finds itself lost in the vastness of space. Your only companion on this interstellar journey is the ship's AI, voiced by none other than Arthur Darvill, known for his role in Doctor Who. Together, you'll navigate through the galaxy, explore alien planets, and solve puzzles to find your way back home.
But wait, there's more! This adventure isn't just about solving puzzles; it's also a musical. Yes, you read that correctly—a musical! Alongside the usual point-and-click challenges, you'll collect 11 unique songs crafted by children's composer David Gibb, adding a delightful auditory experience to your journey.
Hairball in orbitThe game will launch with a lite version, a nostalgic nod to the past, allowing you to dive into the first chapter and get acquainted with the core mechanics. While I can't guarantee it will satisfy the puzzle-solving cravings of your kids, I'm confident that many adults will appreciate the quirky humor woven throughout this upcoming release.
You can find Adventures of a Cat in Space on the iOS App Store, though there's no word yet on an Android release. If you're eager for more puzzle-solving fun, check out our comprehensive list of the top 25 best puzzlers available for both iOS and Android!
