Curse That Magic Cat !

Swat your way to revenge !
Curse That Magic Cat ! is a lighthearted singleplayer PC game in which players strive to balance quiet stealth with loud destruction .
After having been cursed and transformed into a cat , you must race Magnus the Wizard to use three spell books in each level and free yourself . Along the way , you can exact your revenge by destroying his home , angering him , and making him curse that magic cat !
The theme of Curse That Magic Cat ! was selected to show off artists ’ stylization and environmental skills , while the gameplay showcases the work of the software developers through elements like AI programming and user interface . Level designers worked to balance the competing goals of the game ( stealth versus destruction versus time ) and to construct compelling levels for players to explore .
The game was made over 12 weeks as part of the SMU Guildhall Team Game Production curriculum , using groundwork laid by the team during the summer semester .
Curse That Magic Cat ! was released for download on Steam in early 2021 .
