A Walk in the Dark

by

The Developer Says...

In this action platformer you play as a cat, Bast, running through a dark fantasy world. You’ll be running, jumping and sliding with smooth and precise controls designed to make you feel like a cat. But it wont be easy. In the dark you never know what lies in the shadows.

❤ Smooth and Precise Cat Controls

Players praise the game's fluid cat animations and responsive jumping mechanics, which allow for extremely precise platforming. The cat can control its jump height, speed, and perform wall jumps, giving the player a high degree of control over the character's movement. Reviewers note that the cat's movements feel just as graceful as they would expect from playing a Mario game, with the jumping mechanics being the highlight of the experience.

❤ Unforgiving Difficulty Curve

Despite the smooth controls, the platforming is extremely challenging, with reviewers comparing the difficulty to that of "Super Meat Boy." Levels feature a variety of dangerous obstacles like spikes, rotating blades, and traps that players must precisely navigate to avoid instant death. Completing each level often requires repeated attempts, as players must master the timing and rhythm to overcome the game's punishing difficulty.

❤ Unique Gravity Inversion Mechanics

In a twist on the cat platforming, the game also features levels where players control a girl character who can flip the gravity, allowing her to jump between the floor and ceiling. Reviewers describe these levels as a unique challenge that further tests the player's adaptability, as they must relearn how to navigate the environments with this new mechanic.

❤ Racing Against the Clock

Many of the cat levels incorporate a "speedrun" mode where the player must race to the end of the level against the clock. Completing these speedrun levels within the designated "par" time is an additional goal that requires mastering not just the platforming, but also the optimal route and timing through each obstacle.
