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.

Repton puts you in the shoes of the titular explorer who must traverse a series of underground mazes, gathering all the diamonds before time runs out. Some diamonds are locked in safes and require keys to release, adding an extra layer of strategy. The original 1985 release features 12 increasingly challenging levels, with password support for skipping ahead. Players must avoid falling rocks, monsters hatched from eggs, and traps, making careful planning essential to succeed.
