Flat Cat Adventures - Whimsical Scrolling Platformer
Flat Cat Adventures is a love letter to the Flat Art movement, realized as a fully playable scrolling platformer by @23ScratchMan. Within ten days of its September 2019 debut, the project secured #6 Trending, Top Remixed, and 1,000+ loves.
Completion Mechanics & Controls
Progress is gated by coin collection: every level contains five hidden or guarded coins. Gather them all to proceed. Standard platformer movement is mapped to Arrow Keys or WASD. A critical R key reset function was added on September 5th to address wall-clipping incidents—tap it if your cat becomes embedded in terrain.
Artistic Credits & Inspirations
The protagonist's cat head sprite is the work of @OrangeLemon07. @Rainbow_Reality's flat art style influenced the vibrant volcano backdrop and rainbow motifs. Indigenous plant assets were drawn by @23ScratchMan. Title presentation was scripted by @CrystalKeeper7, with reset support from @HogwartsExpress-Cat.
Audio Design
Sound effects are sourced from platformer royalty: @griffpatch provides the jump and fall cues; Mario Bros coin collection rings out via SFX credited to @KoolKid5678. Background music loops "Double Cherry Pass" from Super Mario 3D World, reinforcing the whimsical atmosphere.
Engine & Technical Foundation
Built atop @23ScratchMan's proprietary scrolling engine, featured separately here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/283414764/. This framework enables smooth parallax scrolling and responsive tile collision.
Leave a ❤ if the flat cat aesthetics resonate with you—the developer confirms it makes their day.
