Pix the Cat

In Pix the Cat, players take on the role of the eponymous Pix, a cat whose only goal is to collect ducklings and drop them into safe zones. Pix must avoid bumping into the members of his brood or succumbing to any of the other obstacles present in each level. The game has several different modes that add or tweak elements of the gameplay, but these core features stay the same.

The game's controls are fairly straightforward, but the actual gameplay may be tricky for some players, especially those not used to retro-style arcade games.
