Cat Physics is a quintessential Donut Games masterpiece that blends charming aesthetics with brain-bending physics puzzles. The core loop is deceptively simple—pass a ball from one cat to another—but the introduction of trap doors, glass panels, and directional flip-boards turns it into a complex logistical challenge. The jazzy soundtrack and 'midnight backalley' visuals create a cozy, sophisticated atmosphere that sets it apart from more garish puzzle games.
What truly elevates Cat Physics is the pursuit of the three-star rank. Finding 'a' solution is usually easy, but finding the most efficient, shortest path requires genuine creativity and experimentation. The game respects the player's intelligence, offering multiple solutions for many levels. With 250 levels to master and Game Center achievements to unlock, it offers incredible longevity. It’s a delightful, polished experience that remains as fun today as it was when it first launched.
Available on: iPhone, iPad, iPod

Use flip-boards to change the ball's direction mid-flight. Be careful with glass windows—they can be used for bounces but will break if hit too many times in certain levels.
