Backrooms Cats and Lava
A bite-sized platformer where you stack boxes to outrun rising lava, with a gimmick twist that either delights or frustrates depending on your patience for trial-and-error.
GamerScout Verdict
Perfect for puzzle-lovers who embrace repetition; skip it if you need hand-holding or elegant level design.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Backrooms Cats and Lava
I spent about an hour with Backrooms Cats and Lava, and it's exactly what the title promises: a small-scale action-platformer built around a single mechanic. You guide a character through tight spaces, shifting boxes to create climbable paths while lava inches upward behind you. The pressure is real, and when the physics cooperates, there's genuine tension in those last-second escapes. The catch is that the game leans hard on trial-and-error. Most puzzles don't telegraph solutions clearly, so you'll die, restart, and try again until you stumble onto the right box sequence. If you're into that grinding, meditative rhythm, it works. If you want clear feedback or elegant level design, you'll bounce off quickly. It's a niche game for a niche mood, and it knows it.
