The Cat Machine

A fairly simple concept; get the white cat to the end, after you've got rid of all the other cats by running them along rails of their colour that you place. The trick comes in by only having a limited number of points that you can connect the rails to, equiring you to use each rail optimally, lest you run out, and the white cat is forever trapped to run laps of the railway forever. There aren't so many levels, but there is enough variety and complexity in them for it to engage you for awhile. Something happened with my save, requiring me to restart. Though the game isn't incredibly pretty to look at, I wouldn't call it an eyesore either. It's serviceable. It would have been nicer to have some accessability options instead of colour-coded cats, but this did come out in 2015. The biggest, most irritating flaw I have found is in the placement of tracks; you click one of the arrows leading off of the pre-existing tracks, and one of your tracks appears, and (at most) three more arrows appear from that, allowing you to select the direction you wish the track to go in (dependent on ways that it is possible for the track to go, of course). Except you have to do this for every piece. You can click and drag to lay pieces down, but I've found this method finnicky at best. You have to remove the track entirely and re-build it to reverse its direction (thankfully removal can be done in one click, and can changing the colour of an already-made track in two). Though it's usable, it would have been nice to have a more fluid way of building the tracks as that's the only real way to interact with the game itself. Being able to use keys (up / down / left / right for example) would have made building tracks much faster. Overall, it's an enjoyable game, with some puzzles that might at first frustrate you, making you think it can't be done, until it frustrates you that you wonder how you didn't see the answer before. It hads an internet-pleasing theme, and a not-required-plot (so long as you can get behind cats being placed on trains for little reason).I'm not sure I would be able to justify getting it at full price (and cannot recall how much I paid). Half off? I would have no problem suggesting people get this if they're into puzzles. A preference for cats would be preferred.

A fun (and sometimes hair-pulling) puzzle game.

I like it but some levels hurt my brain.

Very funny and challenging game- simple, but it makes you think... not as easy as one might imagine at first sight! Would recommend to anyone who wants a simple but addictive game to while away some time :-)

i 100%'ed this years ago. Still have fond memories, still would play again! Play the cat game!

Fun game of puzzles and cats. CATS, I tell you!

Very fun. Also very hard as the levels progress. Definitely requires some time & thought.

You like cats? You like puzzles? If yes, then buy this game right meow.

If you like interesting puzzles, this is the game for you. I only ever play it once in a while but the puzzles are interesting and take some thinking.

PROS: 1. Challenging Puzzle Game! 2. CATS! There's no need to say more ^^
