Introduction
Cat City is a wonderfully vibrant and exhilarating pixel art platformer that transforms you into the most agile, fearless street cat the city has ever seen — and sends you bounding, leaping, and climbing through a beautifully handcrafted urban nightscape that is absolutely bursting with rooftops to sprint across, alleys to dash through, and towering buildings to scale with breathtaking feline precision! Also known as Wobbly Cat, this fast-paced HTML5 browser game delivers a pure, uncut platforming experience built entirely around the fluid movement and lightning-quick reactions that make the very best precision platformers so deeply satisfying to play and master. Every level is a handcrafted test of timing and precision — filled with obstacles and hazards placed to challenge even the most experienced platform game players — all wrapped in gorgeous retro pixel art visuals that make the glowing city feel alive, atmospheric, and endlessly inviting. With responsive controls and lightning-fast restarts that keep the action moving at all times, Cat City is the ultimate urban feline parkour adventure — and every perfectly executed rooftop run feels absolutely magnificent!
How to Play
Navigate your nimble street cat through a series of handcrafted city levels set across a vibrant nocturnal urban environment — sprinting across rooftops, leaping between buildings, climbing tall walls, and threading through tight alleyways with precise, fluid movement. Each level is filled with carefully placed obstacles and hazards that must be navigated through sharp timing and quick reactions — landing a mistimed jump or misjudging a gap sends your cat back to try again, but the lightning-fast restart system means you are back in action almost immediately. Master the movement mechanics, learn each level's layout, and find the optimal route through every urban environment to complete each stage with the speed and grace of a true feline parkour master.

Tips to Win
- Study each level's full layout before committing to a route — observing where obstacles are placed and identifying the cleanest path through the level from the very start saves enormous time over repeated blind attempts
- Master the distinction between short tap jumps and longer held jumps — precise height control is the single most important skill for clearing tight gaps and landing cleanly on narrow platforms
- Use wall climbing proactively rather than only as a last resort — vertical surfaces throughout the city can be used to gain height, change angle, and reach platforms that appear unreachable from ground level
- Keep your momentum flowing forward wherever possible — stopping to reassess mid-level breaks your rhythm and often makes sections harder than maintaining smooth continuous movement through them
- Embrace the fast restart system rather than fighting it — every failed attempt is a learning opportunity, and the speed of Cat City's restarts means each run costs you almost nothing and teaches you everything
- Focus on individual difficult sections rather than trying to perfect entire levels at once — breaking down complex levels into smaller mastered segments and then chaining them together is the most efficient route to a clean full run

Does the game get harder over time?
