Felix the Cat (GB)

In Felix the Cat for Game Boy and Game Boy Color, players take on the role of the lovable Felix the Cat in a classic side-scrolling platforming adventure. The primary objective is to rescue Felix's girlfriend, Kitty, who has been kidnapped by the evil Professor Poindexter. The game features a horizontal scrolling structure where you must traverse various diverse levels, confront numerous enemies, and collect useful items.

Felix's special ability comes from his magical bag. Initially, the bag only allows Felix to perform basic punches. However, as Felix collects power-up items, the bag can transform into various forms, granting Felix unique attack and movement capabilities. For instance, it can turn into a gun, a car, a tank, a submarine, or even a hot air balloon, each form having its own specific use to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies.

The levels in Felix the Cat are diverse in theme, ranging from lush green forests, dark caves, deep underwater environments, to airborne or even outer space stages. Each level is designed with distinct platforms, obstacles, and enemies. Players need to perform precise jumps, time their attacks effectively, and utilize the transformations of the magic bag to progress.

Beyond the regular enemies, players will also face boss battles at the end of each world, requiring specific strategies to defeat. The game's graphics, though simple, are colorful and fitting for Felix's cartoon style. The music is also quite memorable, contributing to the cheerful atmosphere of the game. Felix the Cat is an entertaining platformer, suitable for all ages, offering a nostalgic experience of the golden age of 8-bit and 16-bit platform games.
