The in-game visuals are depicted in a top-down view in a house setting. Pieces of furniture will act as both decoration and obstacles to prevent you from rolling the cat to the bed easily. I found the visuals to be mediocre, especially compared to the high-quality, cute-looking cutscenes. Both the character and cats look fat in this style and the cats also look too similar despite the different stature on the cutscenes.

There isn't much "story" in this game. Dialogues only serve as a premise to the game itself. It starts with a cutscene animation in ~2 frames that look stiff and doesn't make sense until you play the game. Introductions of the cats will also be given, letting you know about their personality and habit. I like the art cutscenes - the cats are so adorable.

Gameplay
The game offers 50 levels of Sokoban-style puzzles: you need to push the cats to the beds to finish the level. It starts easy at the beginning and will pick up the pace as you play. A new mechanic and cats will be introduced, giving you more challenges to clear the level.

The only new mechanic that is introduced in the game won't be used a lot in the levels. It might be caused by the difficulty though - I found it easier to solve the levels with the new mechanic since I know that the solution will revolve around it. The only exception is the last level since I had to position the cats before using the new mechanic.

Length and Difficulty
The game is very short - it only lasts for 1.4h for me. It's very easy at the beginning, to the point that you can figure out the solution without thinking. The last few levels prove to be challenging though, especially with the number of cats and obstacles that you need to go through. The difficulty seems to be right enough for me - you might need to think a bit to solve it, but the solution is usually simple enough to figure out.

Problems
My only complaint lies in the slow walking speed. It's painful to watch the slow-walking character pushing the cats when you already know the solution, especially at the beginning. I also got soft-locked a few times when I tried to move to the cat's new position when I pushed the said cat to the pipes.

There isn't much to say about Roll The Cat. It's basically a short Sokoban game with a cat theme. The cats look adorable in the cutscenes, and the game is easy to finish. Some minor things like the cheap feeling of the switching image at the main menu bug me, but it is not something to worry about, especially with the high-quality art cutscenes. All in all, if you are a casual player that is looking for a Sokoban game, buy this game at a sale.

An adorable reimagining of the ‘Sokoban’ style puzzle games. Although gameplay-wise it’s not doing anything particularly new, it’s packaged with a cutesy pastel cat themed art-style and a simple story about being kept awake at night (which anyone who has ever owned a cat can relate too) that makes it stand out just a little more from other box-pushing clones.

With 50 levels, the aim of the game is in the title - roll the cats to their beds so that everyone can get some sleep before dawn. Puzzles are top down and grid based, you navigate obstacles pushing the cats from behind in one of four directions (up, down, left, right) that you want to go, trying to avoid trapping the cats in spaces where they can no longer be reached or pushed out of. Included is an undo button as well as a restart button, so you don’t have to redo a whole level for simple mistakes.

Levels have a maximum of five ‘cats to roll’, so unlike alternate versions of Sokoban having levels with dozens of boxes, this one never becomes overly tedious. There is one addition in gameplay mechanics that isn’t in your usual Sokoban game and that is the addition of slides/tunnels where once the cat has entered, they don’t stop until it reaches the end of it. This did throw me initially but overall I didn’t find the game particularly difficult, early levels are ridiculously easy and the final levels won’t leave many stuck for too long. In total the game took less than two hours to complete.

Roll The Cat is an adorable puzzle game about cats keeping you awake at night.
It's probably something most cat owners can relate too!

The goal is to roll the cats into their beds, and if you succeed you'll get rewarded with a good night of sleep.
There are 50 challenging levels to complete, all the levels are well thought through and they get harder as you progress, with more cats and obstacles.
There are no timers or limited moves, so you can take all the time you need, which made it a very relaxing experience.

Overall, a very cute puzzle game, I really enjoyed it, and that's not just because I love cats!

It is a cute puzzle game where you have to roll the cats around the levels to get them to their beds. There is 50 levels in total to solve with 2 to 5 cats in each of them. It is nice but I found a pretty nasty bug where the undo move function sends you back to an older level and erases your progress you got since that level. Had it happen 2x.

It works fine on Linux with with Proton (6.3-8) but it wont let you minimize or type in a different window on a different screen.

Roll The Cat is a a cute game with beautiful designs and a fun premise, however it just wasn't for me. I wanted to enjoy it but the game was too tedious and I found myself looking up guides for the later levels. It isn't a game for someone wanting to just relax and wind down, but if you are in search of a challenge then this is recommended for you. There are 50 levels and throughout you get to meet 5 cats and aid them in getting them to sleep.

Overall a beautiful game but personally it felt like more of a chore to play then a game.

5/10

A simple Sokoban with cats.

What is it: A Sokoban-like puzzle game where you have to push cats into their beds. One extra mechanic is involved, one way pipes that cats can go through.

The levels are quite simple, starting with just two cats (boxes), with a new cat being introduced every 10 levels, for a maximum of 5. The target audience isn't deep thinkers looking for a challenge, but someone looking for a relaxing, cute puzzle.

How hard is it: Easy to mild. Most of the levels have carefully designed obstacles that make the path to follow obvious. The pipes add a bit of complexity, but not much. Most of the time I didn't instantly solve a level is because I tripped myself by trying to plan too far ahead when a direct approach with no planning was all that was needed. The last level is the only one that required some strategy.

How long is it: 50 levels, for about 1-2 hours of playtime.

Level design: Basic.

Quality: Poor. The game looks cute, with pleasant drawings and nicely decorated rooms. However, it constantly crashed after every achievement unlocked, sometimes it would crash right after starting and I had to try 2-3 times to get it running, the settings don't stick, mouse clicks behaved weird for me, I couldn't get the keyboard to work for navigating the menus. The music seems to be about 10 seconds looped. Undo is weird. And lots of other bugs that I won't list here. Basic achievements for progress, and the puzzles aren't that complicated. If the game wasn't so buggy, I would recommend it.

Worth the price: Not quite, wait for a sale.

Most positive aspect for me: The pipes were an interesting mechanic, but a bit underused.

Most negative aspect for me: Too many bugs.

Cute kitty game :3

This isn't something I'd usually play, but I got it in a cat bundle on Steam so obviously gave it a try. Granted I got a lot of help from my bf with this because I'm slow, but I enjoyed what I managed to do myself nonetheless.

Visuals are really nice, 10/10 cats

Small bug with the sound - if you mute both sound & music, it still makes noise when you hover over a level and select it. This scared the daylights out of me the first time it happened as I had earphones on loud >.>

Unironically It's One of the Best games to come out in the 2021, Totally Deserves my 'Game of the Year' Award
a simple puzzle game where you roll cats. that's it.
Go buy it.

Sokoban + cuteness overload, what else do you need?

It's purrfect! Fun, cute, nice puzzles, nice music, cuuuute cats. Come, and roll them all!
