Cats Organized Neatly

Developed and published by DU&I, Cats Organized Neatly was released on October 13, 2020. If you are a fan of both puzzle games and cats, this game is right up your alley.

What you have to do in this 2D puzzle game is pretty simple. You simply have to make sure that all cats fit in the grid you are provided. What makes this challenging is that the cats come in all shapes and sizes.

Rain World

Developed by Videocult and published by Akupara Games, Rain World is a survival platformer game released on March 29, 2017. You take on the role of slugcat, which is both a prey and predator in the game, according to its Steam page.

Separated from your family, you must learn to survive on your own by hunting for food and discovering new places. Of course, as a slugcat is considered a prey in the game, you must also avoid the creatures that prey on slugcats.
