Astro Cat
To infinity and purr beyond.
Commander Whiskers is on a zero-G fish hunt. Pilot a jetpack through a hand-drawn cosmic cartoon, scoop up drifting fish, and survive long enough for the real trouble to show up — bouncing asteroids, hostile UFOs, and the occasional comet streaking across the nebula.
How to play
Swim through space and eat fish to raise your score. Blue fish are common; gold and rainbow fish are worth more — and the big ones come with a satisfied meow. Dodge meteorites or ram them with your shield for a satisfying BONK! Grab heart pickups to recover a life, MEOW tokens for a temporary force field, and blaster packs to fight back with laser beams.
The longer you survive, the busier space gets: more hazards, UFO patrols that sweep the screen and fire warning beams, and set-piece moments like comets cutting through the starfield. Chase your best score, unlock Continue from a strong run, and see how long the MEOW Division lets you last.
