Conceptually Space Force Kitty has merit and combines elements of different gameplay into something new with potential. With your squad of kitties you’ll go on missions where you have limited control to jump basically. On each level there are a variety of enemies, treasures, and plenty of fish to collect. Different obstacles you encounter will require you to specialize one of your squad with the proper ability to deal with them, and as you progress and grow the pool of what’s available to choose from you’ll have to choose how to invest your upgrades to suit your own style and the challenges ahead. Where it falls down pretty hard is that it does an awful job of helping you get started or oriented, and the cumbersome and somewhat confusing interface pours gasoline on that fire to boot. If you persist and simply accept the clunky interface there’s something different here that mixes strategy with some action and even an element of puzzles, but getting over that hump when there are so many great games out there is a tough one, hopefully a patch can help refine things further.
