Pirate Cat Adventure

In a world where mischievous, flouncy-shirted felines terrorise cat-monks and cat-girls with cheap tricks and dung-beetles, the pirate cat is king. You are that pirate cat and you are in search of some sort of Indiana Jonesian treasure and what stands between you and it, is this... a flash-browser-game of epic proportions. E4 Games' Japanese isn't up to scratch these days but this game is still eminently playable, and one of the best we've seen for a long old time.

The setting is something akin to the ruthlessly difficult Archipelago and yet the askance view the creator (whoever they may be) takes of his or her world is quite something to behold. There is masses to do, lots of secrets to collect and a pretty darn exciting cut scene to aim for, so get clicking and enjoy the world of the pirate cat.

Going back to the old school with directional buttons in the items menu, this game asks you to use the mouse to do everything. Use the 'item check' button to gain more (Japanese) information on an item, but also to use one item with another.

Use everything with everything, the combinations here are very well thought through and intriguing to unfurl. If all else fails get your tab key involved for some shameless cheating.
