Action Cat

In _Action Cat_ , the player takes the role of a humanoid cat which has to
destroy a toothpaste factory. It it full of defensive mechanics and enemies
and therefore it is fortunate that the protagonist is armed and can jump. The
scrolling levels are shown from the side and have usually maze-like
structures. The goal of each level is to find the exit which requires to solve
simple puzzles (using switches and finding keys) in order to open new ways to
explore. Of course it is also important to stay alive: hits reduce the
protagonist’s energy bar which eventually results in a life loss – more are
earned by gaining enough points. Helpful are the various power-ups which can
be collected on the way, e.g. energy refills, better weapons or bombs.
