A high-speed 2-button infinite running game of kitty saving and flame evading! This is the prequel to Hot Tin Roof - see where the story of Jones and Franky begins.
The player controls Emma Jones, a firefighter tasked with saving kittens from a raging fire. The game features a simple two-button control scheme - jump and slide - as the player navigates through procedurally-generated levels filled with obstacles and hazards.
You must continuously run to the right as the level scrolls automatically. Time your jumps and slides precisely to avoid obstacles like fire, rocks, and other environmental hazards while collecting as many kittens as possible. The speed of the level gradually increases over time, adding to the challenge and intensity.
Saving kittens earns in-game currency that you can use to upgrade your abilities, such as increasing your jump height, slide duration, and health. This progression system creates a satisfying loop where you're motivated to keep playing in order to unlock new upgrades and see how far you can get.
The game generates a new level layout and obstacle placement with each playthrough. This adds an element of unpredictability and replayability, as you can't simply memorize a fixed pattern. The randomized levels also contribute to the fast-paced, high-score chasing nature.
Your primary objective is to save as many kittens as possible. Collecting white kittens earns you points, while rarer golden kittens provide even greater rewards. The desire to save the adorable, pixel-art kittens serves as a core gameplay motivator that many find charming and compelling.
The simple, two-button control scheme makes the game easy to pick up and play, while still allowing for nuanced mastery of the jumping and sliding mechanics. This accessibility combined with the arcade-style, high-score focus appeals to a wide range of players, from casual gamers to dedicated speedrunners.
