Play Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat Online

I remember picking up Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat for the Game Boy Advance back in 2004. It was developed by Digital Eclipse, and it felt like just another licensed game from that era, the kind you'd rent for a weekend. The graphics were colorful and tried to capture the book's look, but it was definitely a product of its time, not something that pushed the hardware.

You control the boy from the story, moving through the house room by room. Your main goal is to clean up the mess the Cat made, which involves jumping on furniture, hitting strange creatures with your umbrella, and collecting scattered items. The platforming is simple but sometimes slippery, and the enemies are more annoying than challenging. One standout section has you driving a vehicle in a first-person perspective, reaching out to grab the Things as you speed along. The whole game has a rushed, slightly disjointed feel, like it's trying to pack in too many ideas at once. Playing it is a strange mix of mild frustration and nostalgic curiosity.
