Paws Up
About Paws Up
A single button carries all the weight in Paws Up: the cat sprints forward on its own, and Space, left-click, or a screen tap is the only input standing between it and whatever's coming next. Early stretches space obstacles out enough to breathe, but the gap between hazards shrinks the longer a run lasts, so most attempts end from a jump thrown a half-second late rather than from misreading the layout. There's no double jump or slide to fall back on — just timing — which keeps the skill ceiling low enough for a quick round but sharp enough that beating a previous score takes real focus.
How to Play
- The cat runs forward automatically — there's no steering
- Press Space, click, or tap to make it jump
- Time each jump for the gap or obstacle right ahead, not the one after it
- Chain jumps as the pace increases to keep the run alive
Paws Up FAQ
Why does the cat keep dying from jumps that worked fine a few seconds earlier?
The obstacle gaps get tighter as the run continues, so a jump timing that cleared an early hazard with room to spare can clip a later one — the input hasn't changed, but the margin for error has shrunk.
