Pushcat Demo

Match three games have gained a lot of popularity in the last few years, ever since online games have been integrated into popular social media networks. All of a sudden, your success in the game was measured against people from all over the world, including your friends. Hence, it’s no wonder that Candy Crush Saga enjoys so much attention, especially when you consider the fact that it features so many levels and possibilities.

Pushcat is different, yet quite similar in some regards. While the end goal is more or less the same as it is in every other match three game, meaning that you have to match same-colored gems and collect the points, the way you do it is entirely different. In essence, you have to move around a lot more and even push things in a specific way to get the desired result.

The game features a funny-looking critter as the main character, which is supposedly some kind of cat. It must eat dirt and push the gems around the level in order to bring them together, after which they leave behind silver coins that need to be collected. A certain number of coins is needed to open the door to the next level, and it is entirely possible to you ruin your chance of getting the coins.

Unlike in most match three games, the gems can be lost permanently if you drop them into bottomless pits. Not only that, but it is also possible to arrange them in such a way as to make it impossible to rearrange them. Both cases require a level reset, which may not be pleasant, but at least you know that it takes concentration and wit to achieve the task at hand, which makes success that much sweeter.

Various enemies make their appearance along the way as well, including ghosts and similar apparitions. By the end, you’ll need to tackle a multitude of traps and inconveniences in order to achieve the desired result. Thankfully, the gameplay remains fun and rewarding, not to mention the fact that each level is unique and it poses a different kind of challenge.

While Pushcat may not be the most complex game out there, its mechanics are intriguing and challenging enough to make everyone ponder every now and again. Hence, even if it’s just a match three flick and it is mostly targeted at the casual audience, everyone can have fun with it.
