Stomp on Leaves as a Cute Cat in Cozy Crunch the Perfect Game for Fall
If you happen to know me personally, you’ll know that I’ve got two amazing cats. I truly believe that cats (and dogs and other animals too) bring so much joy to people and that’s why we gravitate towards games where animals are the main character. Look at games like Stray, Untitled Goose Game or Shelter. Developer Jobblesack Games Inc. has followed the trend with Cozy Crunch, an adorable game where you play as a kitty cat crunching lots of leaves.
Cozy Crunch is a simple enough concept, you play as a cat being led around by a little fairy friend. You’ll lead your cat around a cozy forest so that they can jump on leaves gathering up little leaf bits as you go. Honestly, I’d have been happy if that was all it was. The concept is adorable and running around as the cat is just so much fun, but I can understand that players could get bored if that was all it was.
Which is why you’ve got different quests that you can complete as you run around. Crush a certain number of leaves or locate other items like mushrooms or acorns. You can even hide in the bushes and build up stealth. When you jump out of the bush in stealth mode, you’ll be able to gather more leaf bits when you crunch on leaves. As you complete quests you’ll unlock upgrades for your cat like more stamina, more stealth, etc.
So what are all those leaf bits for? Well, you’ve got a friend in the forest, another cat that you can give leaf bits for to upgrade your cat even more. You can upgrade how far away the fairy (your cursor) can be from your cat while still following you, you can give your cat an extra jump that will create more leaf bits, and much more. It’s a unique way to give players multiple ways to upgrade and allow them to play in whatever way they wish.
Cozy Crunch has four hand crafted areas, an original soundtrack, character customizations (that’s right, you can change up how your cat looks!) and 3-4+ hours of gameplay. After a crazy week, it was the perfect game for me to play to wind down and relax. Grab it if you’re looking for something super cozy that will get you in the mood for fall and the spooky season ahead.
Cozy Crunch is available now on Steam.
