Kitty needs food. Kitty’s health slowly deteriorates unless she collects food. Quickly race and jump your way through a vertically scrolling map full of platforms while avoiding dangerous perils—like spiders and broccoli. Happy Kitty Jump features many interesting and unique mechanics like collecting metal helmets to avoid dangling spiders, quick jumps over crumbling platforms, magnets for collecting hard to reach items, and other fun mechanics that will make you think fast while quickly jumping from platform to platform. With the decreasing health mechanic, there’s no auto-scroll, so you can go as slowly as you like. But if you’re pushing for high scores on the leaderboards, the action can become quite intense and will surely test your reaction time and platformer prowess. Features: * Kitty’s health slowly drains and you need to collect tasty food while jumping across platforms and avoiding dangerous hazards. * Easy-to-use controls. Simply tap on the left-hand and right-hand side of the screen to make your kitty jump to the different platforms. * Interesting mechanics. Use items like metal helmets to protect yourself from dangling spiders and falling bottles of ketchup, or avoid them all together with a rocket ship. * Collect coins—which carry over in between gameplay—that you can use as “extra lives” or to buy new kitties in the game store. * Push yourselves to the limit with a fast-paced, intense play-through and compete with your friends for high scores on the leaderboards.
