Hungry Cat is one of the arcade games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Arcade games are designed around the loop, and Hungry Cat has a good one — short attempts, instant restarts and a score that begs to be beaten. A few things the tags reveal: it has retro pixel-art visuals; it features animals as characters or theme; it teaches or practises a skill — often maths, reading or logic — while you play.
About Hungry Cat
Welcome to Hungry Cat, a delightful and competitive game that brings the thrill of feline camaraderie to your screen! In this engaging adventure, you take charge of two adorable, famished cats on a mission to catch as many fish as possible. These fish aren't swimming in water; instead, they float tantalizingly in the air, just waiting for a quick paw
Judged as a arcade game, Hungry Cat hits the notes you would hope for: difficulty that ramps steadily, the "one more go" effect and a single, easy-to-read score. The skills it leans on are consistency and consistency; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.

Tips and tricks
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
- Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Because this is a Animal game, each animal usually has a unique ability — test them all.
