Game Classification

Fat Cat is a vertically-scrolling shooter where a single player controls two characters at the same time, one using the mouse and another through the arrow keys. A fat cat and an owl need to be guided through eighteen stages and three boss levels.

The owl (controlled through the mouse) is invulnerable and can attack anything that comes on the screen. He has regular bullets, but can also activate special powers through buttons that cause him to absorb bullets or make him extra strong. He can block bullets of enemies, pick up the cat to move it around, or pick up blocks and slide them into different directions to crush enemies.

At the same time, players control a fat cat through the keyboard. The cat is the only character that can get hurt with three lives per level and mostly needs to be kept out of trouble while owl solves the problems. Enemies defeated by owl often leave behind cake that is used to fill up a power meter for the cat. This provides his only mean of attack, a single powerful blast. Not only does it clear much of the screen, it is also required to blow up constructions that hinder his progress. [source:mobygames]
