A small cat. A mask hiding its true face. A church filled with challenges. Recover the fragments of your soul and find the path to freedom. 🐱✨

Masked Cat

Masked Cat is a 2D platformer where you play as a small cat trapped inside an ancient church. After being forced to wear a mysterious mask that shattered its soul, the cat must explore every corner of the temple to recover the lost fragments, reclaim its happiness, and find the path to freedom

Throughout the adventure, players will face precision platforming challenges built around a single core mechanic: jumping. Each room introduces new ways to interact with the environment, requiring you to master movement and carefully plan every jump in order to progress.

Features

• Classic 2D platforming movement.
• Variable jump height for more precise control.
• Platforms that change state over time.
• Platforms that react to each player jump.
• Collect soul fragments to restore the protagonist.
• Original soundtrack and audio implementation powered by FMOD.

About the Project

This game was developed during Game Jam UPC 2026.

The main goal of the project was to explore how a single core mechanic—jumping—can create a wide variety of challenges through level design. Rather than giving the character numerous abilities, each level introduces new environmental elements that transform how the player uses and understands this fundamental mechanic.
