Breksta's Cat is a sliding puzzle game with RPG elements developed by NotImplementedLife. It features three small maps that resemble a spawn room in a Minecraft adventure map that offers context and allows players to teleport to the main gameplay.

It was a submission for Game Boy Competition 2021.

User guide

How important are dreams? How often do you remember something from them? Did you ever have a dream you wish you hadn't woken up from?

What if you've been cursed not to leave the dream's world (which isn't necessarily the world of your dreams) until you will have fulfilled your given mission in that world?

Of course, you'd have to do it. It's Valnyssa's order.

Noticeable or not to the common human's spiritual blind eye, dreams and reality interact with each other in some sort of metaphysical ecosystem. They feed each other. They rely on each other. If the dreams' world is threatened by demonic creatures (as it happens from time to time), so will the human's world. Both dreams and reality must reach a state of fusion and harmony in order to become more powerful and survive any potential destructive attacks.

Just like dreams are guiding humans' existence through the power of blessing and inspiration, it is your turn to become one with the world of dreams, Ethereal, and stop it from vanishing into Nowhere.

And... no. Don't expect, don't even think that you're going to knock out demons in some way related to Mortal Kombat fights. Dreams are too refined and rational worlds to be trated with brutality. Instead, you'll have to use your logic and patience...

Actually, you know what? I won't say anything. Just try it yourself.

Gameplay

The idea is to go into puzzle rooms, solve the given puzzle and earn Cat Coins to unlock the Master puzzle, whose completion clears the game.

Limitations:

If you spend more then 8 hours in a puzzle room, you'll be kicked out and you'll lose the game (and coins).
Please avoid pressing the B button while solving a puzzle. This ends your puzzle solving session and returns you to the map, so you'll have to enter again and start a new puzzle.

Controls

D-Pad - Control your character, Move puzzle piece

A - Interact, Select option
