About Jungle Kitty

Jungle Kitty is a hand-built platformer rather than a generated one. Its four levels were designed, played and adjusted by hand, which means every jump in the game has a known solution and every collectible is placed where it is for a reason. Nothing here is random.

The cat has a conventional platforming move set: run left and right, and a variable-height jump where holding the button longer jumps higher. There is no double jump and no dash. That restraint is what makes the level design carry the game - if a gap looks too wide, it is, and the route is somewhere else.

Each level contains mangoes to collect, spikes and patrolling beetles to avoid, and a temple gate at the end. Mangoes are optional; the gate is not. Collecting every mango in a level is a self-imposed challenge that usually requires a different route from the fast one, which is the traditional platformer trick for making one level worth playing twice.

Checkpoints appear as small carved stones, and touching one saves your position. Dying returns you to the last stone rather than the start of the level. The checkpoints are placed just before each genuinely difficult sequence, so the cost of failure stays proportional to the challenge.

How to Play

  1. Pick up where you left offPress Start Game. Levels you have already reached are unlocked from the level selector above the canvas.
  2. Move and jumpArrow keys or A and D to run; Space or Arrow Up to jump. On touch devices, three large buttons appear below the canvas.
  3. Hold for heightJump height depends on how long you hold the button. A tap is a small hop; a full hold is the maximum jump.
  4. Deal with beetlesBeetles patrol between two fixed points. You cannot defeat them - time your crossing for when they are walking away.
  5. Touch the checkpointsThe carved stones save your progress in the level. Always take the small detour to touch one.
  6. Reach the temple gateThe gate at the end of the level completes it and unlocks the next one.

Tips & Strategies

Learn the jump arc on the first easy gap

The first level opens with several forgiving jumps. Use them deliberately: try a tap jump, a half hold and a full hold across the same gap so you know what each one gives you. Every later level assumes you can pick the right one instinctively.

Stop before you jump

Running jumps travel further, which sounds like an advantage until you overshoot a narrow platform into a spike pit. On tight landings, come to a stop at the edge and jump from standing. The platform is always wide enough for that approach.

Beetles are clocks, not enemies

Every beetle walks a fixed path at a fixed speed. Watch one full cycle before committing. Two seconds of patience will save you far more than two seconds of lost progress.

Take the checkpoint even when you feel confident

Skipping a checkpoint to save four seconds is the most reliable way to lose ninety. The stones are placed before the hard parts precisely because that is where you will need them.

Do the mangoes on a second run

Trying to collect everything on your first pass through a level means learning the layout and taking risks simultaneously. Finish the level once to understand its shape, then go back for the full set.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many levels are there?

Four, each hand-designed. They get longer and more vertical as you progress.

Is my progress saved?

Yes. Completed levels and your best mango count for each are stored in your browser's localStorage.

Can I defeat the beetles?

No. There is no attack in Jungle Kitty - beetles are timing obstacles, and the design always gives you a window to pass.

What happens when I die?

You respawn at the last checkpoint you touched, or at the start of the level if you have not reached one. There is no life limit.

Do I need every mango to finish a level?

No. Mangoes are optional points. The temple gate opens regardless of how many you have collected.

Is there a time limit?

No. Jungle Kitty is explicitly unhurried - you can stop and study a section for as long as you want.
