Water Gun Cat

Water Gun Cat is a 2D pixel art platformer about a fearless cat trying to restore knowledge in a world where learning has been banned. The Tyrant Dog and his animal army have taken the inhabitants’ books and locked them in their fortress. You travel through perilous lands, defeat the army and try to return wisdom to the inhabitants.

Levels and environments

The game has 25 levels across 12 environments, with settings that change as time passes. You travel through forests at dawn, dusk and nightfall, caves and a tropical beach, then face urban dangers in the city and its sewers. Snowy forests and caves lead to the great fortress, where level 25 ends in a fight against the Boss.

Combat and resources

You can defeat enemies by jumping on them or using your water gun, but water is limited: each weapon item gives you five shots. Enemies include patrolling rats, agile birds, hard-shelled crabs, jumping frogs, tough turtles, cunning raccoons and swift foxes; some are armed and fight back. In the final showdown, the Tyrant Dog is bigger and faster than the other enemies and immune to water shots, so you must rely on agility and courage.

Hazards and movement

Spikes and moving saws threaten your progress, and falling into water or lava is dangerous. Fans lift you into the air, trampolines give you momentum, and conveyor belts and moving platforms help you advance. Checkpoint flags secure your progress, while ladders lead to vertical paths.
