Pix The Cat came out of nowhere for me. I never heard about it until it was made available as a free download for PS+. It's a really fun game though that's for sure! The game is set on a grid, reminiscent of Pac-Man. Controlling the cat, I have to gather eggs in the maze and drop them off at drop off points scattered about. When collected, the eggs turn into ducks and follow the cat around in a snake formation. The objective is to score the highest amount of points before time runs out.
For these mechanics to really work, there are a few more kinks added to the process. To build up combo points, you have to gather all the eggs before dropping off any of them or it breaks the combo. You also have to avoid your ever growing tail because that will destroy all the ducks in the formation. Finally, the game speeds up dramatically as you go deeper in the maze. I really like the mechanics, but holy shit, it gets very difficult very quickly.
The blood-pumping music adds a lot to the experience, as do the slick graphics. In fact, every time the combo goes up, the music steps it up a notch and the visuals get more exciting and colorful. It's a really cool game that is perfect for a quick 5 minute round every once in a while.
