Molecats

Molecats is a species of digital animals that you might not have heard of until now. They’re a cross breed between moles and cats which look rather cute and can do all sorts of things. To describe them in a few words, they are a race of colorful and funny looking critters that can walk on walls and ceilings and they love to explore all kinds of caves.

The goal of the game is to guide the Molecats through a series of caves which can be manipulated one way or another so they can gather the mushrooms they love so very much. Each cavern is comprised out of multiple tiles and some of them can be rotated to create new paths for them to explore and for you to get lost into.

Each rotation of a tile might open up a new trail to follow but it ruins another one. Apart from figuring out where they need to go, you will also face a series of traps, monsters and will have to use teamwork to trigger door opening mechanisms and so on.

Molecats delivers a wonderful atmosphere to play in. The levels are very well designed from both graphics and mechanics points of view, and along with a great soundtrack it instantly pulls you into the adventure.

Everything about the Molecats is made to put a smile on your face. They walk and run funny, they get scared easily and even though they’re partially moles, they are afraid of the dark. Throughout the game you will encounter trap plants, meet up with Toadmoles and face the scary Behemoles.

Molecats is designed to be a purely fun game to play because you can’t really lose a level, you only might end up collecting fewer mushrooms or not discovering all the secrets. Even though there are monsters and traps to get in your way, that’s all they do. Your characters don’t die and they are never really hurt which makes the game a perfect challenge for younger minds.

To wrap things up, even though there is a long list of good things to say, if you’re looking to spend a couple of hours with a game that’s bond to test your puzzle solving skills while also making it fun, then you should try Molecats.
