A puzzle game where you play as an anthropomorphic cat tasked with clearing each level of enemies. You move around the level bashing into enemies, moving rocks, and digging up soil. Later levels have you playing as both characters in the level.

9 A simple puzzle game with well designed levels and an excellent difficulty progression. You never feel like you're stuck in a level as you can always choose a new one. Being able to create and share your levels is a great addition.
