Catrap

A puzzle game where the goal is to whoop ass, hitting every scumbag on the screen and pushing around blocks to do it. A lot of the levels take a ton of thought and foresight to complete, and Catrap takes this into consideration by implementing a fully-functional rewind button, complete with fast forward functionality too. It is probably a marvel of engineering for the time and it's a key part of this game's cult following.

That said, it is not the best way to play this type of experience. No saving feature means you have to keep a password to save your progress... in a puzzle game. Nintendo implemented a save feature at launch with Golf so there's really no excuse. I also REALLY wish there were more music tracks in this game, with like three in the entire game and only one theme across all 99 puzzles, which can be grating especially as you try to think things through.

It's fun but has serious reservations that keep it from being consistently enjoyable. Still a soft recommendation though as it is otherwise thoughtful.
