Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger developed one of the world’s most famous thought experiments, where he described a cat in a box could be dead or alive, but you couldn’t be certain which until the box was opened and measured. This 10-stage game plays off that quantum theory thought experiment.
Move across the platforms to help the cat make its way to the fish at the end of each level.
Just before encountering a danger switch the cat to the dead state so the obstacle or danger does not kill the cat.
Switch the cat back and manipulate buttons on the levels to clear a path to the fish.

Game Play
States of being
The cat has 2 states: alive and dead.
While you are not in danger you should stay in the alive state so you can move around the level.
Just before getting hit by a laser, flying on a cannon, or being touched by a robot you can switch your cat to the dead state so that the danger passes through you without harming you. After it passes you can then switch back to the live state.
If you do not switch to the dead state the above obstacles will kill the cat and you’ll start back at the beginning of the level.
Levels
This game has 10 levels.
Levels are unlocked sequentially.
You can go back and replay previously beat levels.
Strategy
Switch to the dead state right before engaging with any risks, then switch to live to move again & keep cycling.
If a cannon shoots you in the wrong direction you may need to activate a red switch to change its direction. In some cases you use the same cannon multiple times for different reasons.
Robots generally will not go off platform unless you are standing in the dead state near the edge of the platform. In some spaces you need to have the robot activate switches.
Target Audience

The game has no adult themed content.
