What players say

Even if you save Penny and collect all the pennies the government has already decided to terminate all pennies. Therefore they probably have magic the witch needs, but don't trust her. Save Penny.

A simple little cat platformer with a cute art style. The stages are fairly easy and the game is short, but it does give off a creepy vibe in the sound department. It's a nice little experience for the price.

老玩家诸葛亮戏评 此作《鬼屋猫咪》以其可爱的小猫主角与幽暗的鬼屋氛围形成了强烈反差,玩家需在充满怪物的房间中通过收集硬币与击败敌人逃出生天。游戏虽为轻松休闲之作,但其中的黑暗幽默与解谜要素颇具趣味。正所谓:阴阳相济,方显平衡之美。 优点: - 可爱的猫咪主角与幽默风格,令人忍俊不禁。 - 平台跳跃与解谜元素相结合,增加了游戏的可玩性。 - 游戏画风虽简约,但氛围营造得当,兼具黑暗与可爱。 - 适合短时间内的轻松体验。 不足之处: - 游戏较短,关卡数量有限,略显单薄。 老夫感悟: 《鬼屋猫咪》虽为小品之作,但其独特的黑暗幽默与可爱风格让老夫倍感愉悦。虽关卡不多,但每一次挑战皆充满乐趣。正所谓:短小精悍,乐在其中。 总评:可爱有趣,短暂却值得一试。 诸葛亮 戊寅年秋于书房
