    - The final level consists of a single wave where you must defeat the boss.
  - Winning vs losing
    - You beat a level by defeating all the aliens on it while still having some health remaining on your health meter.
      - Your health is restored to 100% anytime you beat a level.
    - You lose a level by running out of health before all the aliens are defeated.
      - If you lose a level you start back at the beginning of the same level, even if you were on wave 7 of 7 when you lost.
      - This game offers unlimited continues.
- Upgrades
  - Weapons: in addition to the default pistol you can purchase unlocks for a rifle, dual revolvers, shotgun, laser gun, fire ball, rocket launcher, and gatling gun.
    - When a weapon is unlocked it remains unlocked for the duration of play.
    - You can repeatedly switch back and forth between the weapons used.
    - In general the more expensive weapons are better than the cheaper weapons, with the only exception being the rocket launcher can be better than the gatling gun.
    - A table below provides information for the various weapons you can unlock.
  - Allies: Initially you fight with your basic gun and mana which can be converted into the 3 power ups. As you progress through the game there are additional allies unlocked.
    - Immediately you can purchase mana upgrades which start at 40 coins & allow your mana to restore 5% faster.
    - After level 3 you unlock an exterminator which appears periodically. Initially you can upgrade its fire rate by 10% for 40 coins & then later upgrade its life can be upgraded by 20% so it lasts longer. It is a typical infantry which only shoots in one direction directly horizontally across the screen.
    - After level 9 you unlock a turret, which can be helpful to destroy aerial opponents. The initial upgrade cost is 50 & each upgrade increases the fire rate by 5%.
    - After level 14 you unlock a laser. You can upgrade its fire rate by 5% starting at 50 coins. The laser can attack ground or aerial forces.

      - Dynamite costs 20.
      - Grenade costs 50.
      - Molotov cocktails cost 80.

      - Each time you use a power up your mana meter partially empties.

    - Use dynamite at least 50 times.
- Tips
  - Coin usage
    - Whenever you lose a level you still collect the coins you gained from that level.
    - Try to upgrade guns as rapidly as you can as you can still easily beat the game with minimal upgrades of other features.
    - The final level does not give you any coins when you beat it, so be sure you have purchased all the upgrades you want before beating level 29.
      - It can even make sense to intentionally repeatedly lose on level 29 to purchase more upgrades.
  - If you are playing on a desktop computer and are uncomfortable using a mouse along with the arrow keys, try to use the WASD keys instead.
  - Aerial enemies
    - In general it is best to take out aerial enemies before ground enemies as many aerial enemies have range attacks while ground enemies simply walk into you.
    - Perhaps the most annoying enemy in the game is the flying alien that is slightly above the ground which shoots a blue beam of energy at you.
      - Its shots move fast and can take 10 hit points each, while it repeatedly fire on you.
      - When its shots get near you jump over the shots and try to take it out as quickly as possible.
      - On level 25 you face a ground enemy which looks sort of like a bathtub. It shoots the same sort of shot as the above enemy does.
  - Ground enemies
    - If the ground is overwhelmed with enemies try to take out whichever side is weak first & then shoot the other enemies while you are backing away from them.
    - If both sides are strong jump while moving across and drop dynamite, a grenade, or a Molotov cocktail while you move across.
  - Reloading
    - If your gun takes a while to reload try to reload during a wave when there is only one enemy remaining on it, or reload as soon as the wave ends.
    - If you are stuck with many enemies on the screen while you reload you can rely on your power ups to buy a bit of time.
  - Boss battle
    - The key to beating the boss is to keep shooting at it while keeping your distance.
    - When the boss gets near you near either edge of the screen time your jump across it so you escape before you would get hit, and then keep shooting at the boss while you run to the other side of the screen.
Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like shooter games.
  - Players shoot various guns at aliens, though the game does not show blood.
- Other than the above the game has no adult themed content.

  - The level select screen shows your best move count for each stage, if you collected the flowers on each stage, and what percent of the game you have completed.
Game Play
- Basics
  - This is a turn-based strategy game where you have to create a path that protects you and your family members from flamethrowers which shoot flames every so many turns.
  - Operate a series of switches to protect you and your loved ones from the flames while making it to your partner.
  - Make it safely to your partner in a limited number of steps and collect the rose to complete each stage to 100%.
- Features
  - Flamethrowers – these shoot out flames which touch every connected block that is not blocked off by a gate.
    - The upper left corner shows the countdown for flamethrowers. When it reaches zero all flamethrowers shoot out fire in all directions, filling the container they are in.
    - You can walk through flamethrowers provided they are not in the activate firing state.
    - You lose if the fire gets to you, your partner, your dog, or your mother in law.
  - Switches – these open or close gates of the same color.
    - You can repeatedly operate a switch to open & close gates.
    - On some stages there are many gates with the same color where a switch will open some gates while closing others at the same time.
    - Gates remain as positioned unless you (or another character) step on a doormat switch, or you operate another switch or hourglass.
  - Gates – these block the flow of fire from flamethrowers.
    - You can operate gates with switches, hourglass, or doormats.
    - You must make sure you, your dog, and your mother in law do not pass through a square with a gate while it closes.
  - Movers – escalators which move you in the direction they point to the square just past their final square on the escalator.
    - If you close a gate at the end of a mover you have the option to hop off the escalator in either remaining direction.
  - Portals – you can warp from one portal to another.
    - You always warp from a portal of one color to another portal of the same color.
    - You warp from the portals with an outer ring to the same-colored portal without the outer ring.
    - Each portal can be used repeatedly.
  - Bombs – these ignite if touched by a flamethrower’s flame.
    - Bombs destroy anything adjacent to them in any of the 4 cardinal directions.
  - Rocks – rocks act similar to gates, though they do not open.
    - The only thing that can destroy a rock is an adjacent bomb going off.
  - Ice – ice cubes blocks the flow of flames from flamethrowers similarly to how gates do.
    - You can not pass through ice blocks.
    - The ice melts a bit each time flames touch it.
    - The ice is reduced to a pool of water after fire touches it three times.
    - When the ice is reduced to water you can pass through the square, but so can fire.
  - Hourglass – these operate like gate switches, though they only temporarily switch a gate’s status.
    - After around 4 steps the status of the gate switches back to what it was before you hit an hourglass.
    - The hourglass only cycles each gate open or closed once, with the gate returning to the original state a few moves later.
    - You can repeatedly operate hourglasses to adjust the status of same-colored gates.
  - Trapdoors – these allow you (or any other party member) to pass across them once, and then upon any subsequent attempt to cross the level is failed.
    - Since you can only pass through each trap door once you must take special care to navigate the level in the correct order, as some cells won’t be reachable after you leave the area once.
  - Doormats – these operate like ordinary switches, however they only remain active while you or another party member are standing on them.
    - You must precisely time your steps so that you (or another party member) are on the doormat when the flamethrower fires.
  - Dog – the dog chases you when he spots you via a straight horizontal or vertical look on two consecutive turns.
    - When the dog chases you it will keep chasing until either it catches you, or it reaches the last known square where it saw you.
    - If the dog sees you again heading in another direction it will once again try to track you.
    - If the dog catches you you lose.
    - If the dog gets caught in a closing gate, gets hit by flames from a flamethrower, or falls through a trap door you lose.
  - Mother in law – she moves in a pattern uniquely her own, where she moves a square every turn you take.
    - If she catches you she’ll talk your ear off and you lose.
    - If she gets caught in a closing gate, gets hit by flames from a flamethrower, or falls through a trap door you lose.
  - Rotating movers – these are individual square movers which move you in the direction the arrow points when you walk onto them.
    - Each time you step on a rotating mover its direction that it moves you rotates 90 degrees.
    - Some rotating movers turn clockwise while others turn counterclockwise. You can tell which direction a rotating mover turns by the direction of the lights illuminated along its perimeter.
- Seasons & Levels
  - This game has 5 seasons with each season having 7 levels.
    - Within a season levels are unlocked sequentially.
    - Seasons are unlocked sequentially by completing all levels in prior seasons.
    - To unlock the fifth and final season you must collect the flower from each stage & you must beat a level within par.
  - Winning vs losing
    - You win by safely getting to your partner with nobody getting hurt.
    - You lose if any party member gets hit by fire, gets caught in a closing gate, falls through a trap door, or is exploded by a bomb going off.
    - You also lose if either the dog or your mother in law make it onto the same square you are standing on.
    - This game offers unlimited continues, starting you out at the beginning of the failed level.
  - Par
    - Each stage lists a par number where the goal is to beat a level within the par count.
    - Beating stages in more moves than par still allows you to unlock the next stage (through the first 4 seasons), though you need to beat all 28 levels within par to unlock season 5.
  - Roses
    - Each stage has a flower in it you can collect.
    - You can collect the flower in the same play where you reach par, or you can collect it in a separate play through where it takes you more steps.
    - The flower collection only counts if you survive to save your partner & complete the level.
    - You do not have to collect the flowers to unlock the next stage for the first 28 stages. In order to unlock the fifth season with the last 7 stages you must collect all 28 flowers in the first 4 seasons.
- Tips
  - Step count in sync with flamethrower
    - In this game you have to make moves in specific order where you have to step on some switches at a precise time.
    - You can waste pairs of moves by moving an extra step out of the way and back.
    - If you have an odd number of moves remaining you can use individual moves by doing any of the following:
      - walk onto a mover that pushes you back onto the square you were just on
      - pre-align a rotating mover so that you can move onto it twice in a row
      - operate another switch that you do not need to flip in order to burn a turn
  - Misdirecting others
    - Sometimes you have to move closer to your dog or mother in law to have their step count aligned to where nobody gets stuck in a gate or hit by a flamethrower.
    - Sometimes you instead need to make a circuitous route to prevent the dog or mother in law from harming themselves.
  - Roses vs par
    - If you score worse than par or do not grab the rose you will still unlock the next stage.
      - You can play the first 28 stages without needing to fully complete prior stages.
      - You have to complete the first 28 stages to 100% in order to unlock season 5.
    - You can get the flower in a different playthrough of a level than the play that matched or beat par if you are unable to do both in a single play.
Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like rescue games.
- The game has no adult themed content.

Game Play
- Basics
  - This is a block matching game where players grab blocks and throw them in the correct order to smash identical blocks together.
    - You can make sets of two or more at a time. If the set you make is less than the required amount it may simply lower the remaining requirement count.
    - You can throw blocks straight over into the row you are facing, or you can move up closer to the ceiling to have the blocks hit one of the blocks coming down on the sides to have the blocks fall down on other blocks.
    - When you throw a block at a stack it can create matches which make blocks disappear, and you then grab the closest remaining block from the stack to use in your next throw.
  - Each stage has a goal shown for how many blocks must be matched.
    - A level is beat when all the required matches have been made, even if many blocks remain.

    - You can set up your throws either to make sets, or to realign blocks to get the block you want for your next throw. Not every throw needs to make matches.
    - If a throw places multiple blocks in a row but does not create a set you may need to throw another block at the row to create a set of three blocks.
    - When you throw blocks straight across from the side you must make matches that are horizontal rows to remove blocks.
  - Ceiling throws
    - If you are having trouble reaching blocks that are far back at the outside edges of rows you may need to have blocks fall down from near the ceiling to make sets.
    - When you throw blocks off the ceiling and redirect them down from the top you must create vertical matches to remove blocks.
  - Restarting
    - If you have run out of blocks and have not completed all the required sets use the level restart button in the upper right corner to start the level again.

Cat to the Moon Game for Kids Video Game Play Instructions

How to Play

Fling the cat up & try to keep it in air as long as you can using milk trampolines. Use points earned from fish to purchase upgrades to your catapult and other features to try to make it all the way to the moon.

Starting the Game
- The game starts by showing a background story narration and then puts you in active play.
Game Controls
- Desktop
  - Use your mouse left click button to select the cat, drag it into the catapult, pull down to charge the catapult, and release the catapult to fire.
  - When the cat is about to run out of momentum draw a line underneath it to act as a trampoline to provide more lift.
  - After landing visit the shop to buy upgrades.
- Touchscreen devices
  - Tap the screen with a finger to select the cat, pull it into the catapult, pull down to charge the catapult, and then release the catapult to fire.
  - When the cat’s vertical momentum slows drag your finger across the screen below it to use milk to draw a trampoline.
  - After landing visit the shop to buy upgrades.
- Controls & indicators
  - The upper right corner of the screen shows your fish savings and has buttons for music control and sound control.
  - The upper left corner of the screen has a shop button in between plays. Clicking into the shop shows what upgrades you have equipped and the cost of the next upgrades.
  - Your milk meter is shown in the upper left of the screen during active play.
Game Play
- This is a simple catapult game where your goal is to fling the cat up to the moon.
  - Eventually the cat will run out of momentum and begin to fall.
  - You can use milk to draw a trampoline under the cat to bounce it up higher yet.
    - You can aim the cat at milk or targets so that you regain milk or gather more fish. The angle of your trampoline determines the angle the cat will bounce off at.
    - Longer trampolines use more milk, but also fling the cat up with more force.
    - You can bounce the cat off the sides of the screen, though it is typically best to shoot mostly upward unless you are aiming at milk or targets. If you shoot at a steep angle you will waste most the cat’s momentum on horizontal movements & it will be harder to catch the cat with your next milk trampoline.
- Scoring points
  - Fish start off as worth 1 point each, but can be worth as much as 3 or 5 each as you climb higher.
  - When you hit a bullseye you will score around 20 points and then it will fling you upward again.
  - When you run into a wall it will give you 15 points when you break the wall tile, but it will take away much of your momentum.
- Falling to ground
  - Eventually you will reach the moon, or run out of milk & momentum, then the cat will fall to the ground.
  - When the cat hits the ground you can visit the shop to buy upgrades.
- Upgrades
  - You can upgrade 6 different features: milk power, milk spawn, magnet, fish spawn, catapult size, and catapult power.
    - Milk power – how much vertical lift you will get after the cat touches a milk trampoline.
    - Milk spawn – how frequently milk appears in the sky.
    - Magnet – attract nearby fish, even if you do not run directly into them.
    - Fish spawn – how many fish are in the sky, which can make it easier to score points to buy other upgrades faster.
    - Catapult size – allows you to charge up your flight more off the start since you can pull back further.
    - Catapult power – uses a stronger band, which gives the cat more lift initially.
  - Each attribute can be upgraded 3 times.
    - The table below shows the upgrade cost for each attribute.
    - Later upgrades cost more, so it can make sense to upgrade the attributes fairly evenly & focus on buying whatever you can afford.
- Beating the game
  - The game is beat when you reach the moon.
  - At that point all your upgrades are reset and you can try to play again to see if you can make it to the moon in fewer jumps than it took you the prior playthrough.
- Celestial trivia
  - This game suggests the moon is 15,000 meters from the surface of the Earth.
  - The moon in reality is an average 238,855 miles (or 384,400 km) away from Earth.
    - This distance is the equivalent length of roughly 30 Earths (with a range of 28 to 32 Earths).
    - At its closest the moon is around 225,623 miles away.
    - At its furthest the moon is around 252,088 miles away.
Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like cute cat games.
- The game has no adult themed content.

Upgrades Table

The following table shows the upgrade costs for various attributes. It costs a total of 7,975 fish to fully upgrade all attributes.

Attribute	1	2	3	Total
Milk Power	175	450	800	1425
Milk Spawn	225	450	700	1375

Game Play
- Basic
  - This is a room escape game set in a variety of caves.
  - Hazards
    - Your goal is to get all the cats safely to the door while avoiding hazards like spikes, cannon balls, and lava.
    - Cannons shoot at a regular interval.
    - Spikes and lava do not move.
  - Cats
    - The first level starts off with a single cat.
    - As you progress through the game more cats are added to some of the levels with up to 4 cats on some stages.
    - When you move a cat you move all the cats at the same time.
    - After a cat has reached the door it exits the level and you then only control the remaining cats.
- Levels
  - This game has 15 stages which are unlocked sequentially.
    - You can go back and replay previously beat levels at any time.
  - Winning vs losing
    - You beat a stage by getting each cat safely through an exit door.
    - You lose a level if any of the cats dies by touching lava, spikes, or a cannonball.
    - This game offers unlimited continues, starting you at the beginning of any failed level.
- Tips
  - Before you move consider which cat should go first & plan your journey.
    - Sometimes you have to walk the wrong direction to get a particular cat (or set of cats) stuck so that you can move the cat which should exit first.
  - Platforms & jumps
    - Some platforms require falling off of so you do not jump another cat into spikes.
    - Some areas have spikes on the ground and in the air, requiring you to do a partial jump to not hit the top spikes while still being able to jump over the lower spikes.
    - When the ceiling is low (like on the bottom row of level 13) you have to jump with a high level of precision to avoid hitting the spikes.
  - Moving together
    - Cats can move atop each other, though they move where the higher cat running on the other cat moves faster as the speed vectors add.
    - Whenever possible it is typically best to try to move a single cat at a time (with other cats pinned against a wall or step) so that you don’t accidentally over-move or under-move another cat.
    - If some cats are near cannon fire you may need to move other cats in sync with timing around the cannon fire.
    - You can keep cats under solid ceiling blocks or to the side of walls or steps to avoid moving them into harms way while moving the cats you want to move.
Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like cats or simple platforming games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
