A cat. On rollerskates. Running forever. There is no deeper plot, and that is exactly why it works.

This one is inspired by Chrome Dino — the offline dinosaur jumping game that's been quietly running in Chrome since 2014, built by Google's engineers as an easter egg for the moment your internet connection drops. It's since been played an estimated billions of times worldwide, almost entirely by people with nothing else to do for thirty seconds, which makes it one of the most-played games in history despite never being marketed, advertised, or available anywhere except a dead connection. The appeal is purely mechanical — one button, instant restart, a speed curve that keeps ratcheting up until you blink wrong. We've swapped the dinosaur for a cat on rollerskates, but the loop that made the original unkillable is untouched.

How to play

Press space or tap to jump over obstacles as they approach. The longer you survive, the faster things get.

Scoring

Score increases the longer you survive and the more obstacles you clear — pure endurance scoring.

Why play this?

Zero learning curve, instant restart, and the cat respawns faster than your motivation to actually open that spreadsheet.

Questions

Does the game get harder over time?

Yes — speed ramps up the longer you survive, same logic as the classic dinosaur game it's inspired by.

Can I play with the keyboard only?

Yes, space bar handles jumping — no mouse required.
