About the Game

Cat Got Your Tongue is a quirky little platformer inspired by the classic phrase “Cat got your tongue?” — a saying used when someone’s too shy or hesitant to speak. But in this game, you’re not the nervous human — you’re the mischief-making cat!

You play as a naughty little black cat jumping and scrambling across a human’s tongue, determined to snatch his tiny voice and stop him from expressing his inner thoughts.

Go get your claws and join our evil kitty crew!

🎮 Controls:

Hold Arrow Keys or A & D to control jump direction

Press Spacebar to attack enemies

✨ Features:

  • Fun & Whimsical Interactions

A vertical jumping game packed with surprises: dodging oral bacteria, avoiding tartar-blasting toothpaste, riding guinea pigs, slipping on buttered toast, or catching sight of mysterious waving kitties — all await your discovery.

  • Cute and Grotesque Art Style

A mix of adorable and weird visuals, with hand-drawn comic scenes between stages and alternate endings depending on your success or failure.

  • Short and Snackable Gameplay

Each round lasts just a few minutes — perfect for quick, casual play sessions.
