Our Expert Score

94/100

Cat Physics is a quintessential Donut Games masterpiece that blends charming aesthetics with brain-bending physics puzzles. The core loop is deceptively simple—pass a ball from one cat to another—but the introduction of trap doors, glass panels, and directional flip-boards turns it into a complex logistical challenge. The jazzy soundtrack and 'midnight backalley' visuals create a cozy, sophisticated atmosphere that sets it apart from more garish puzzle games.

What truly elevates Cat Physics is the pursuit of the three-star rank. Finding 'a' solution is usually easy, but finding the most efficient, shortest path requires genuine creativity and experimentation. The game respects the player's intelligence, offering multiple solutions for many levels. With 250 levels to master and Game Center achievements to unlock, it offers incredible longevity. It’s a delightful, polished experience that remains as fun today as it was when it first launched.

Just GET IT !!!

At this game ever since my first iPhone and I still love it to itty bits. When I delete everything else to free up some space, this game is still on the phone. The graphics are absolutely wonderful, really top drawer. The gameplay is just oodles of fun. Overall, this is a delightful, intriguing, and challenging game, if you go for three stars. The original game I insisted on three stars every level before going on to the next, which really stretched out the length of time I was able to play the game. This update, i'm having a lot of fun just going through the levels and then will replay them to get three stars on the ones that I don't get this time. Do yourself a favor and buy this game it's just lovely. Take it from grandma.

Still love!

I’ve had this game since I bought my first iPod touch, so for years! Now on my iPhone 13. I love cats, and the sounds, graphics, and challenges of this game really keep me on my toes. It’s fun and can be played for a few minutes or very intensively. This game is tricky but fun because of the design. After I solve a level, I like to aim for improving it. Appreciate the creative obstacles and the unique titles of each level. Creativity deserves loyalty. Thank you so much. (I’ve also kept Castle for many years)!

This game is awesome and fun

This game is fun and it’s an endless game. Donut Games make great games and I like in the logo when you tap on the game they whisper Donut Games because that is very funny. I love this game because you have to roll a ball to a cat and there are obstacles in it which makes it so much fun but if it did not have obstacles it would just be boring. And I do not like boring stuff so I recommend this game to anybody who sees this review on this game download it it’s a fun game believe me but if you do not want to download this game that is okay I am not forcing you I am just saying.

Love this game!

I’ve been playing Cat Physics for over 2 years now, and have been apart of the community and score hunting catters for a while now. With much time spent into this game, I can definitely say it is my all time favorite. The idea is great, the levels are fun, and the backdrop and music really adds to the atmosphere. My favorite memory of this game was when yet another level update came out, 9 years after the game’s release! Truly a remarkable game, well worth the two dollars.

YOU MUST BUY THIS!! 😸

So when I was 3, I got an iPod. I used it all the time. But when it stopped working, I lost everything. Luckily the other day I plugged it in and saw it was charging. Turns out, cat physics was the only app still available at the App Store. So I bought it on my phone for only 1.99 (this was good because most apps cost 2.99 or more) and haven’t stopped playing. Perfect game. I’m already on level 23. I love how the cats just pick up the ball with their tails, too 😂

ITS AWESOME!!

I love this game, because everything is great the graphics, the detail, the puzzles, the challenges, and then music and not to mention their little meows! my dad had it ever since he was 23 and he still loves it to this day. When I’m bored and on a road trip I pull out his iPad. I play Whale Trail for a little bit and then I get kind of bored so I’ll look around in the apps and I find cat Physics I play it nonstop! I totally recommend it!!!!!

I enjoy this game a lot. I played it in Pensylvania when I was younger. On level 17 - "The Bridge", the bridge flip board originally worked, but now, for some reason, it no longer does. I'm not sure why, probably because of updating it to having "Reversed Classics" levels, but that was a lot more fun up until then. Other than that, I still love this game. I would give this a 5 star rating.

Love This Game!

Update 2019: so excited there is a new bonus pack and now 250 levels! I am enjoying it so much. Keep those updates coming. Can’t get enough of this game. 🙂 Original Review 2016: Just finished 200 levels, all with three stars. The latest Bonus Pack has some really difficult levels. This is by far the best game I've ever played on my iPhone. Kudos to the developers.
