For my money there is no better mobile original platforming series than Super Cat Tales from developer Neutronized. The original Super Cat Tales launched all the way back in 2016 and offered a platforming experience built specifically for the touchscreen, with very unique controls that were tricky to wrap your head around at first but far superior than typical virtual buttons once you did. It also featured a cast of adorable characters and visuals that made the game feel like something Nintendo themselves would have released for the SNES back in the day. Oh, and in addition to all that, and most importantly of all, Super Cat Tales offered up extremely well-designed levels and platforming challenges. All of that would carry over to the sequel Super Cat Tales 2 in 2018, though somehow even bigger and better in every way. Fans such as myself had been hoping for a new Super Cat Tales entry ever since, and we were granted our wish when Super Cat Tales: PAWS was formally announced in April of last year. Now, just about a year later, and Super Cat Tales: PAWS finally has a firm release date, as announced in this fantastic new trailer.

As mentioned in the initial announcement last year, Super Cat Tales: PAWS is actually a prequel to Super Cat Tales 2, which itself was a prequel to the first Super Cat Tales. So you see, what we have here is a reverse chronological trilogy on our hands, which I think is rather unique. It’s also quite fun because the various characters in the Super Cat Tales games have become so beloved thanks to the surprisingly robust lore built into each game that it’s fun to see them in earlier parts of their lives or doing things that have been referenced already in the previous two games. In case you couldn’t tell I’m very excited for Super Cat Tales: PAWS. If you are too then feel free to pre-order the iOS version on the Apple App Store here or pre-register for the Android version on the Google Play Store here, and look forward to the game’s launch on May 25th.
