Castle Cat 2

Castle Cat 2 was one of those games you'd find in the later days of Flash, a straightforward action platformer that didn't try to reinvent the wheel. You played as the cat, of course, navigating a series of side-scrolling levels. The goal was simple: get from the start to the end of each stage, dealing with whatever obstacles appeared in your path.

You control the cat with the arrow keys, running and jumping across platforms. The main actions involve firing a cannon with the control key and throwing a mace using the space bar. You collect coins scattered through the levels, and the game introduces various enemies and objects to interact with, like squids and vehicles. The pacing is brisk, with a difficulty that feels manageable but still asks for some timing on your jumps and attacks. It plays like a quick, uncomplicated arcade experience you could pick up for a few minutes at a time.
