About
Courier Cat is a flow-focused platformer where you play as a cat delivering letters across a sleeping city’s rooftops. The moon hangs low in the sky, serving as your timer — deliver letters to lit windows before dawn breaks.
The game draws inspiration from Celeste’s tight movement mechanics, Night in the Woods’ cozy tone, and Kiki’s Delivery Service’s sense of gentle purpose.
Gameplay
- Deliver letters to glowing windows scattered across the rooftops
- Race against dawn — the moon descends as time passes, but successful deliveries buy you more time
- Build combos by chaining deliveries without touching the ground
- Earn ranks as you progress from Rooftop Rookie to Master of Meow
Movement
The game emphasizes smooth, responsive controls:
- Running and jumping across rooftops
- Wall-sliding and wall-jumping
- Dashing for quick bursts of speed
- Forgiving collision to keep the flow going
Visual Style
Hand-crafted pixel art at 320x180 resolution with a warm sunset palette — purples, oranges, and pinks against a dark cityscape. The moon itself serves as a diegetic timer, growing larger and closer to the horizon as dawn approaches.
