Game overview

Angry Cats is a launch-and-score game where every attempt is an angle problem. You set the direction and the amount of force behind each cat, then send it arcing toward a basket that sits further away or behind more clutter each round. Overcook the power and the shot sails long; play it too safe and the cat drops short. Your run lasts exactly as long as your aim holds up.

This title is best suited to players who enjoy aiming and arc-judging games.
