About Squicky
This is one of those cat games where the mouse finally gets to fight back.
Your job is easy to explain and tricky to pull off. Run from the left side of each level to the exit on the right, grab every key to unlock the door, and scoop up as many coins as you can along the way.

You only have one hit point. Touch a cat or drop into a pit and the level starts over, so every jump counts.
Each stage is a short adventure from left to right, but the layouts get busier as you go, with more cats on patrol and wider gaps to clear. Your score climbs with every coin you grab, every cat you stomp and every second you shave off the clock, so there is always a reason to replay a level.
Everything is built from simple, chunky shapes and bright colors, which keeps the screen easy to read even when things get hectic. The cheerful music and snappy sound effects match the light mood, so a failed run never feels too harsh.
If you like quick levels that test your timing more than your patience, Squicky is a neat little skill game to keep in your rotation. Grab your first key, stay clear of those whiskers, and start building the richest mouse fortune in the world.

Tips & tricks
- Slow down before ledges, because the floors have very little grip and it is easy to slide right off.
- Remember that platforms are solid, so you cannot jump up through them or drop down through them.
- Check where a cat is walking before you climb a ladder near it, since ladders need a precise press to grab.
- Save the magic potion for the most crowded part of a level instead of using it right away.
- Learn the route on your first run, then go back for every coin and a faster time.
