- Adventures of a Cat in Space is out now for iOS
- This cutesy point-and-click adventure features a full soundtrack by children’s composer David Gibb
- Meanwhile, Doctor Who fans will note the vocal talents of Arthur Darvill as the ship’s computer
When it comes to rocket launches everything, down to a microgram, has to be accounted for in order to ensure that this delicate aerospace instrument makes it to orbit. So I don’t know who in the space programme shown in Adventures of a Cat in Space was slacking off, but somehow they managed to omit having a cat on board!
Yes, Adventures of a Cat in Space is one of the more interesting point-and-click adventure releases recently. Out now on iOS it mixes in the typical fun of an unbelievable situation (cat shot into orbit) and devious, fiendishly-obtuse puzzles for players to solve.
More interestingly it’s also part musical! Yes, there are not just puzzles to solve but also an integrated original soundtrack from popular children’s music composer David Gibb to boot. Not only that but Doctor Who fans will notice the familiar voice of Arthur Darvill lending his vocal talent to the rocket ship’s computer!
Cough, hairball
Yes, if it wasn’t clear enough from the subject matter alone it should by now be obvious that Adventures of a Cat in Space is very much an all-ages release. Suitable for both adults and kids it’ll likely resonate more with the latter, but if you have children you want to introduce to gaming this could be a comfortable title that might demand a parent’s intervention for the more difficult puzzles.
Admittedly for the rest of us I reckon it may fall a little more on the cutesy end of the spectrum to be palatable, especially with the musical jingles added in. But if you can look past that Adventures of a Cat in Space offers a weird, cutesy new point-and-click adventure.
