Chinu Neko is a browser-based adventure game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. It leans on animals, so expect a steady difficulty curve. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Chinu Neko
Chinu Neko is a 2D cute little platformer where you play as a neko(cat) who have to collect cat food bowls while avoiding enemy cats, ground saws, spikes and reach the Exit door in order to go to the next level. There are 8 levels to play and the difficulty increases as you proceed. Controls: Use "WASD" or "Arrow" keys for the player's movement. Use "W" or "Up" arrow key twice for double jump.
