About the Game

Moving Forward with Cat

Galileo said
"And yet it moves."

I thought
"Perhaps the same applies to cats?"

"Moving Forward with Cat" is a physics-based platformer about gravity and pendulum mechanics. Understand the laws of physics and aim for new heights together with a cat.

Key Features

- Unique pendulum mechanics

- Gravity-defying gameplay

- Carefully crafted stages

- Minimalist art style

Game Experience

In "Moving Forward with Cat," you cannot fully control the cat. Instead, you need to think ahead and plan the timing of jumps, swings, and launches to overcome each challenge.

As you play, you'll develop an intuitive understanding of the game's physics and begin to feel the growth of your own playing skills.

Discovery

Discover stages that change as the game progresses, new mechanisms, and increasingly difficult challenges.

Challenge

Without direct control, prediction and adaptation are necessary. Each level requires thoughtful planning and execution while utilizing momentum, inertia, and gravity.

Growth

While playing the game, you'll realize
"Wait... am I getting better at this game?"

Experience the joy of growth that you discover yourself, not joy given by someone else.

If everything goes smoothly, you can complete the main story in about 3 hours.
