Alien Cat 7

In Brief

A puzzle platformer

The Game

Move your Alien Cat left or right using the A & D keys and space to jump. Avoid the falling crates that are dropped by flying bird skeletons. Some of these are steel and unbreakable. If a metal crate drops onto a wooden crate it will smash it. You need quick reactions to survive this game. The aim is to be able to climb on top of the crates to access the portal, which will take you to the next level. The trouble is that some crates if destroyed make it difficult to ascend to the portal. If you don't watch your step, you may find yourself trapped as you can only jump up one crate at a time. My advice, don't jump until you see the next crate actually dropping as you can then tell whether it is a steel crate and whether or not it will destroy the crate below it. Also you'll find spikes on some of the solid platforms that are instant kills. You can see a video of game play .

Don't forget to check the giveaway game discussion forums HERE; especially Delenn's threads for non Steam and steam freebies. The latest Epic game freebies are Watch Dogs 2 (usual cost £49.99/$49.99/€59.99), Football Manager 2020 (usual cost £39.99/$49.99/€54.99) and Stick it to the Man (usual price £7.99); I highly recommend Watchdogs 2, though it contains mature content so isn't suitable for the kids). Next week we will be getting Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: The Complete Edition (this is an Epic Exclusive and is finally due for release on Steam next week. I see some tactics by Epic with this freebie.

There's a couple of new additions to the Indie Gala freebies called Desert Law and The Tomorrow War (a 3D space shooter with ground strafing on planets. The game reminds me of a souped-up version of the first space shooter I ever bough back in the early 90's called Epic, but with far superior graphics.

Please stay safe everyone.
