MagiCat is a cutesy, simple platformer about a cat who can do magic. That's really all there is to say about it, honestly. It has a whole lot of different levels, with several icy ones among them.
Our journey begins at level 3-6, Slide Slide.
Here our lovely cat can encounter some icy slime enemies, plus shiny ice blocks. The blocks can be broken with a dash, but that costs mana to use, and that's a limited resource.
Each level has two horizontal sections with one vertical section in between, and each of these has a hidden gem that can be found.
If you die you can revive on the spot, but it costs exponentially more each time so you don't want to die that many times in a row. There are checkpoints too, but they cost mana to activate.
Each stage is concluded by a boss fight against a larger version of a standard enemy. This slime just hangs out on the ceiling, forcing our cat to attack with projectiles. The real threat is the slime on top, which occasionally hits a button to make the platforms disappear and send us flying into the spikes.
Following up from that is stage 3-7, Dripping Ice. This one is themed around the classic obstacle of icicles on the ceiling that will fall as you walk under.
4-1 is Sticky Snow. This one has deep snow that can't be walked in at all. The only way to move is by jumping, making this rather annoying to cross.
4-2, Cold Boom Boom, has cannons that will launch our poor cat in whatever direction they please. To get through we need to time our shots right and adjust the cannons as needed.
4-3 is Winter Aurora. This one is themed around these blocky enemies that shoot ice bullets. They're dangerous, but can be jumped on to reach new heights or cross gaps.
Finally there's 4-9, Melting Breath. This one features the ability to summon temporary ice cubes to use as platforms.
As it's at the end of world 4, this one's boss fight is special, pitting our MagiCat against a MagiPig. It will slam the floor and walls to make icicles fall from above, and requires much more effort to take down than the other bosses.
