Game overview

Alex Whiskers sends a street-smart town cat sprinting after a trail of fish through traffic-choked city blocks. You steer between lanes, bounce off springboards to clear rooftops and gaps, and time your dodges around delivery vans and patrolling bulldogs that end the run on contact. The 3D chase keeps accelerating, so the fish you bank early pay for the risks you take later.

This title is best suited to short reflex runs between other tasks.

How to play Alex Whiskers

  1. Guide Alex left and right to line up the next row of fish
  2. Hit springs squarely to launch over traffic and rooftop gaps
  3. Read the lane a van is filling and slip into the empty one
  4. Keep a safe cushion from bulldogs, which stop the run instantly
