Play Felix the Cat Online

I remember picking up Felix the Cat on Game Boy back in 1993, a game developed by Hudson Soft. It was one of those licensed platformers that felt right at home on the handheld, a straightforward adventure that didn't try to overcomplicate things. In an era full of mascots, Felix stood out simply by being a familiar face from the cartoons, translated into a simple, colorful side-scroller.

You control Felix through a series of themed worlds, each made up of individual screens you move between. Your main goal is to rescue his girlfriend from the clutches of the evil Professor, and you do this by jumping on enemies, avoiding obstacles, and collecting Felix icons for extra lives. The real hook is his magic bag, which you power up by grabbing special items; it lets you transform, letting you ride a tank, fly a plane, or bounce around in a giant ball, each form changing how you attack and move. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty is fair but can spike in later stages, especially when precision platforming is required. It feels like a condensed Saturday morning cartoon, full of quick changes and simple, satisfying action.
