Overview
Description

Catrap drops you into an underground labyrinth where two explorers must push blocks, outwit patrolling monsters, and rewrite their path using a rewind function. Each of the 100 puzzles challenges you to think like both a maze builder and a solver, blending platforming, puzzle‑solving, and strategic action. The game’s unique time‑rewind mechanic lets you correct mistakes instantly, encouraging experimentation without penalty. With simple controls and a charming cat‑girl and cat‑boy duo, Catrap offers a rewarding solo experience for players of all ages.

Crystal Caves puts you in the shoes of Mylo Steamwitz, a daring explorer navigating a series of underground chambers packed with puzzles, hazards, and hidden riches. The game blends classic platforming action with clever puzzle design, delivering an EGA‑style visual experience that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Each episode—"Trouble with Twibbles," "Slugging it Out," and "Mylo Versus the Supernova"—offers distinct challenges and themed environments, ensuring varied gameplay that keeps players engaged from start to finish.
