Cats 'n Critters (C64)

Background

Cats 'n Critters introduces you to the whimsical world of feline freinds Maple and Button, who have been unwittingly thrown into a perilous quest to rid their garden of menacing critters that have invaded their home.

Hedgehogs with razor sharp quills,  swooping hawks and mischievous spiders now roam their once peaceful home, threatening the delicate balance of their garden. 

But these  creatures are not the only visitors...mysterious butterflies have also descended upon the garden, shimmering hues of azure, ruby and amethyst, and each one carrying their own magical secret - the power to grant blessings....and curses!

Join Maple and Button as they accept their roles as guardians of the garden and embark upon their quest to catch as many butterflies as possible, harnessing their magic to fend off the critters, as the fate of the garden rests on their furry shoulders!
