Don't Look Down, Kitty!

The pitch

The Trashy Dragon has kidnapped your puppy buddy and is flying off to eat the stars! Climb after him as a brave little cat, up a wild tower of cars, crates, cakes and clouds that runs from the city streets through Candy Skies and the Cloud Kingdom to the Moon, the Sun, a black hole and the Milky Way. Hop from block to block and double-jump the gaps. Balance on wobbly lifts and dodge sliding walls, hail, meteors and grumpy pigeons. Every chapter has a silly boss, from the Overfed Pigeon to the Udderly Furious Space Cow, and the Dragon waits at the top of each one. Rest at Capy’s camp, dress up your cat, rescue five friends along the way… and whatever you do, don’t look down! • 9 chapters, each with its own world, music, hazards and bosses • 37 cat skins plus 60+ hats, faces, trails and auras • Daily Climb: a new 3-minute tower every day, with a rival to beat • 100+ achievements, plus Expert and Cat-astrophe modes for pros • Easy one-thumb controls on phones, mouse or keyboard on computers

Controls & how it runs

Climb as high as you can and chase down the Trashy Dragon! Jump from block to block, grab coins and flags, and don’t fall: a fall sends you back to your last flag. At the end of every chapter, beat the Dragon in the arena to rescue a friend and open the road to the next world. Clear all 9 chapters to save your buddy.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a flexible screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. It reshapes itself for tall and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all get the full picture. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Pro tips for obby cabinets

• Look one obstacle past the one you're on. Obby stages are rhythm sections disguised as architecture — reading ahead is what turns a rage course into a dance.
• Short hops beat long leaps. Two small jumps keep you in control of the landing; one heroic bound hands your fate to the bounce physics, which is not merciful.
• Every fall teaches the stage's favourite trick. Obby designers repeat their best traps with new paint — once a trap has had you once, it should never have you again.
