Cat Wars

Cat Wars was a simple fighting game from the Flash era. It appeared online in the early 2000s, a time when many quick, browser-based games were shared on portals. The game had a straightforward premise, letting two players settle a feline dispute on the screen.

You control a cartoon cat, moving left and right with the arrow keys or WASD. The objective is to reduce your opponent's health bar to zero. You have a punch button and a kick button; landing these basic attacks is the core of the fight. The pacing is fast, with rounds ending quickly, and the difficulty often came from the game's simple, sometimes unresponsive controls. It felt like a quick, chaotic scuffle you could jump into between other tasks.
