Read full descriptionHide full description
Nine Lives is a one-button flight game. Hold to fly and loop. Let go, and the cat falls. That's the whole thing. Fly as far as your nerves allow, scoop up kitty keys along the way, and land safely to bank them before a crash takes them back. Crashed anyway? Do it again, every run teaches you a little more. • One-button controls: easy to learn, hard to put down • Risk it or bank it: pending keys vanish in a crash, banked keys are forever • Medals and stars for completionists • Unlockable skins for your flying kitty • Fully playable offline, no account, no login
