About Smokey's Nine Lives

Smokey is a grey cat with one goal: get across. Roads, rail lines and rivers of traffic stand in the way, and every hop forward is a small decision about timing. Tap to hop, swipe to sidestep, and never stand still for long.

She has nine lives, and a lost life is not the end of the run. Grab fish along the way and reach the porch to win a life back. The further you get, the busier the lanes become, with trains that give a short warning before they thunder through.

It is a quick, readable reflex game, built for one more try.

How to play

A lane-crossing run starring Smokey. Hop across roads and rail lines, grab fish, and reach the porch to win a life back.

Tap to hop forward and swipe in any direction to sidestep or go back. On a keyboard use the arrow keys or WASD. P pauses and M mutes.

Levels and goals

Levels are about distance. Your level is set by the furthest row you reach in a run: level 2 at 40 rows, level 3 at 120, level 4 at 240, and each one needs more than the last. A pill near the top shows how many rows are left to the next level.

Tips

Wait on the safe tile and watch two lanes ahead. Hopping into a gap that is closing is how lives disappear.
Rail lines flash before a train arrives. Treat the flash as a hard wall.
Fish are worth detours when the lane behind you is quiet.
Sidestepping is cheaper than hopping back. Use it to line up a gap.
