Play Catrap Online

Catrap came out for the Game Boy in 1990, developed by ASK and published by Asmik. It was one of those quiet puzzle games that felt perfectly at home on the small screen, a thoughtful break from the more frantic platformers and adventures of the time.

You control a pair of cat-like siblings, Ataro and Pikku, navigating through a series of single-screen rooms. The goal is to clear all the dirt blocks in each room to proceed, but you have to push boulders strategically to break them or create paths. The standout feature is the ability to rewind time, undoing any move instantly if you trap yourself or make a wrong push. The puzzles start simple but quickly demand careful planning, especially when managing crumbling floors and switching between the two characters. It feels like slowly untangling a knot in your mind.
