There’s no shortage of Vampire Survivors-like games on the market. The formula is simple: move around, collect weapons, and survive endless waves of enemies. But every now and then, one of these titles stands out—not because it reinvents the genre, but because it brings heart, charm, and a touch of emotional storytelling.
Kitty’s Last Adventure does just that.
This sweet little indie gem isn’t just another bullet-heaven clone—it’s a gentle, colorful, and surprisingly touching cat survival experience made for anyone who loves cozy gameplay and feline companions. Whether you’re a casual gamer looking to relax after work, or a cat-loving player seeking your next comfort title, this one might just be for you.
A Story Worth Purring About
Most games in this genre drop you straight into combat without much of a story. But Kitty’s Last Adventure adds something rare: purpose.
You play as a small cat—Kitty—on her final journey. She’s not fighting monsters or escaping some dark force. Instead, she’s facing her fears, reliving memories, and enjoying one last playful run through a vibrant, strange world. Through short, heartfelt cutscenes between levels, we learn that Kitty is seriously ill, and this adventure is more symbolic than literal. It’s a love letter to all the cats we’ve cared for and said goodbye to. Yes, it might tug on your heartstrings—but in the sweetest way.
Gameplay: Relaxing but Engaging
At its core, Kitty’s Last Adventure keeps things simple and familiar. If you’ve played Vampire Survivors-like games, you’ll feel right at home here. You move with the keyboard, and your weapons auto-fire. You start each run at stage one, surviving waves of increasingly difficult enemies, collecting upgrades, and progressing through to stage three, where the final boss awaits.
But instead of a countdown timer, the game uses a wave-based system. Each stage has its own set number of waves, ending in a boss battle. Clear the boss, and you move on—keeping all your power-ups and levels along the way.
What makes it unique is the lighthearted but smart design. Weapons can evolve into different forms depending on the choices you make while leveling up, and you’ll find helpful pick-ups like XP magnets, healing hearts, and catcoins used for unlocking passive upgrades between runs. Enemies with Personality
Forget zombies and aliens—here, your foes are a whimsical mix of everything a cat might dislike: cucumbers (of course), vacuum cleaners, storm clouds, water droplets, and balloons. There’s even a final boss that looks suspiciously like the dog from Tom and Jerry. Each new stage introduces new, quirkier enemies, all animated with a soft, hand-drawn aesthetic that’s as fun to look at as it is to run from.
While the challenge ramps up the longer you play, it never feels unfair or stressful. That makes Kitty’s Last Adventure a great pick for cozy gamers or players who don’t want to dive into anything too intense.
Visuals and Vibe
If Kitty’s Last Adventure had a tagline, it could be “cute, colorful, and cardboard.” The hand-drawn art style leans into a storybook aesthetic, with soft edges and a vibrant palette. Everything feels handcrafted—from the silly enemy designs to the cozy stage layouts.
The soundtrack follows suit: upbeat, playful, and just the right amount of bittersweet in later levels. The music isn’t overbearing, but it supports the emotion of Kitty’s journey well. The final stage, in particular, carries a quieter, more reflective tone that gently reminds you what this journey is really about.
Short and Sweet, With Room to Grow
The full game can be completed in a couple of hours—but to unlock every achievement, weapon upgrade, and passive ability, you’ll need a few extra play sessions. It’s bite-sized and bingeable, perfect for a relaxed evening on the couch or a break between bigger games.
Replayability comes from unlocking new cats (yes, there are multiple to choose from), customizing their stats, and experimenting with different kitty adventures to see what weapon combinations work best. There’s no pressure to “win,” and if you lose a run, you keep your catcoins to upgrade your passives and try again.
It’s that “one more run” loop done right—without the frustration of punishing difficulty spikes or long grind sessions.
Any Rough Patches?
Not really. The game is relatively bug-free and runs smoothly. The systems are basic enough that nothing major can go wrong, and that simplicity is part of its charm. That said, if you’re looking for deep combat mechanics, advanced strategy, or endless replay value, this game might feel too lightweight.
Also, after a few hours, the gameplay loop does start to feel a little repetitive. More stages or an endless survival mode would add some extra variety—but given the game’s price and cozy vibe, it’s hard to complain.
Final Thoughts
Kitty’s Last Adventure is an easy recommendation for cat lovers, casual gamers, or anyone needing something gentle and heartfelt. It blends light humor, charming design, and just enough emotional weight to make you care about the little kitty on-screen.
It’s not here to change the genre. It’s here to remind us why we love our pets—and maybe give us a few cozy hours of relaxing, cat-themed fun.
