What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Purrfect Rescue (Switch)

November 9th, 2025

I kept up with my quest to clean up some of my Switch games I'd started yesterday, starting by finishing off Purrfect Rescue. I didn't really love this, since the cats were too scribbly to easily identify as cats. I did like the idea of having one special cat per stage, having you find the items to catch them across different stages, but it needed something slighly more. This wasn't unplayable, but it wasn't my favorite cat finding experience.

I also went back to Roller Katz BF: Episode 1, which is the first few levels of one person's vision for a Dreamcast, or, more specifically, Sonic Adventure style platformer. It's very janky and difficult to control, and the story is never going to be finished, which is disappointing! I had a lot of fun with this regardless, though, and think it's cool that someone went for it and just put this out there. Plus, I got hit by a train a bunch of times and then shot a robot pirahna. I had fun!

Originally, I wanted to clear three games yesterday, but I wasn't feeling great last night and gave up. From there, I played a few rounds of Vampire Survivors and went to sleep.

I had a weird gaming day yesterday. I played stuff way earlier in the day than normal, tackling the Retro Achievements on a game called Reels of Fortune. It seemed really funny to play another slot machine game, but it wasn't all that interesting overall. This was made for an open source console called Uzebox, though, and that does seem interesting. I might try to learn more about it later.

I tried a very simple, slippery feeling Atari 2600 Touhou homebrew, too. It wasn't awful, and I do want to achievement hunt in it a bit more, but it didn't have my attention for long yesterday.

I'm trying to be more responsible about game shopping and had some stuff I wanted on Switch, so I decided to try and clear off some games I had started on there and Switch 2 so I could do a spot of shopping. I finished off Snug Finder first, which I thought was a decent little hidden object game. I think it needed something a little more to make the time-based scoring work as more than "well, I know where all the stuff is so I'll just run it again right away," like moving objects between runs. That's basically my only complaint about it, though, especially for two dollars. It was cute.

I played some of Purrfect Rescue, a hidden cat game I'd bounced off of in seconds a few times before. The cats are really scribbly in this, so it's harder than usual to tell what is or isn't a cat, and they're extremely tiny, too. There's some simple adventure game elements going on here, too, but it wasn't enough to get me to play more than one stage of it last night.
