  • Summary: In PUSS! you have to get through mazes without touching walls to reach the exit portal. All the levels are randomly sequenced, so every run is different. The game’s visuals are based on different elements of modern art: glitch art, surrealism, psychedelic art, web punk, vaporwave, naive art, etc.

    PUSS! is a game that’s distinctly unique, if nothing else. The visual presentation and art style are oozing with weirdness and have no shortage of absurdity. The levels themselves are also quite well done, though it’s a shame the experience is bogged down by unnecessary roguelike elements. Despite those issues, PUSS! is still quite the challenge for any hardened player looking to test their skills.

    A few visual niggles and glitches aside, PUSS! is a challenging but equally rewarding game that’s utterly bonkers in all the right ways. An offbeat, eccentric art and music style, combined with an excellent risk/reward system, means this game gets a paw-sitive recommendation from me.

    PUSS! is a crazy game based on cats, obstacles and psychedelic lights. What more could you want?

    If a mini meander of mind-bending meow-sochistic mouse mazes sounds like a good trip to you, then PUSS! Is undoubtedly a great recommendation. Otherwise, the purposefully stringent controls, disorienting gameplay, and rage-inducing cheap-shots might rub folks the wrong way.

    Utterly brilliant lo-fi psychedelics fail to make up for the simplistic and repetitive gameplay which very quickly becomes too difficult and frustrating to hold most players' attention. It's worth dipping into for some wigged out hilarity though, for as you long as you can hold off throwing the controller at the screen.

    Levels are served at random, so you’re not forcing yourself to do the exact same thing over and over again, but we ran into a lot of repeats. There’s something to love here, but it’s all incredibly basic, and perhaps a bit too fiddly to quite deliver with how the controls are translated to an analogue stick. [Issue#186, p.85]

    Puss! A bullet heII / Platformer that is so surreal, you'll feel like you're tripping after the first level. I loved it so much, it's the onePuss! A bullet heII / Platformer that is so surreal, you'll feel like you're tripping after the first level. I loved it so much, it's the one of the best Indie games I've ever played, 2nd only to Subnautica.

    Best 14$ I've ever spent, my only complaint it just like Subnautica, it felt way too short, much shorter than Subnautica.

    (Subnautica took me a week of constantly playing every day to beat, this only took me 4 hours, but there's still Easter eggs I haven't found) I still recommend it! Have fun!
