Gameplay
Gameplay
Pix the Cat is a mash-up of Snake and Pac-Man. Some levels are fast paced, where Pix must constantly collect ducklings without crashing its growing tail into an obstacle. Other levels only require a few items to be collected, but require more strategy.
Development
Development
French developer Pastagames had worked with publishers for Rayman Jungle Run, Pix’n Love Rush and A.R. Rescue, but the team opted to release Pix the Cat independently. The game was in development for over three years. Pix the Cat was made for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. Fabien Delpiano explained the team's goal to create a game where "sensations grow and intensify as your skill improves". Delpiano described the team's playtesting method for Pix, using a custom-built arcade cabinet in various locations including bars and game conventions. The game was released in October 2014.
