Dusty Cat

You start as a literal speck of dust, no bigger than a crumb, and the only thing on your mind is eating anything smaller than you. Nudge into a tinier speck and you grow. Drift too close to something bigger and it's game over.

That's the whole tension of Dusty Cat: every second you're sizing up the dots around you, deciding what's prey and what's a threat. Grow enough and you'll watch your dust ball move through its phases until you're looking at an actual cat on screen.

Points stack up as you eat, and they land you on a leaderboard against other players, so there's always a reason to push for one more growth phase instead of playing it safe. It's a simple loop, but it's the kind you'll keep opening in a spare five minutes.

If you're already fond of browser games with a cute streak and something small to look after, Dusty Cat fits right alongside other pet games on the site.

Grow your speck of dust into a full cat by eating anything smaller than you while staying clear of anything bigger. Every successful bite makes you a little larger and a little safer.

On PC, steer with WASD or the arrow keys. On mobile, swipe and keep your finger on the screen to change direction smoothly.

Stick to the edges of a crowd of dust before committing to a bite - it's easier to bail out if something big drifts into view than to out-swim it after you've already committed.
