NEKOMICHI RUN — 猫道ラン

Mochi is late for dinner. Between the alley and the kotatsu stand grannies with canes, hopping mochi, charging shibas, unionised crows and one very rude flowerpot.

Run, jump, bop, dash and meow your way across 210 streets of a hand-inked anime Japan, from the cherry blossoms of Sakura Alley to the neon glow of Akiba, the lanterns of a summer matsuri and a snowy mountain shrine, all the way home.

A new twist on every street
No two levels are the same. Each one introduces a new enemy, platform or power-up, or mixes things up with a twist like Granny Parade, Bass Drop, Roomba Rally, Catnip Haze or the dreaded Giant Shiba Chase.

Music you can see
Every street composes its own soundtrack, from City Pop and Lo-fi Purr to Eurobeat Drift and Matsuri Funk. And the world dances to it:

  • Mochi blobs hop on the kick drum
  • Lasers and steam vents fire on the beat
  • Fireworks burst on the snare
  • Even the fish you collect play notes in the song’s key

Features

  • 210 levels across 10 districts, each with its own weather, skyline and destination
  • Thick ink outlines, hard cel-shading, sparkly anime eyes, speed lines and impact frames
  • 13+ characters to bop, dodge or charm: obaachan, salarymen, alley cats, tanuki, onigiri spirits, yurei ghosts and more
  • 8 power-ups: catnip zoomies, double-jump yarn, fish-magnet bell, glide umbrella, bubble shield, rocket sardine, milk and the lucky maneki-neko
  • 630 stars to earn: finish the street, grab 70% of the fish and find 3 hidden golden taiyaki
  • Neighbourhood locals who tell terrible cat puns as you pass
  • Progress saves automatically
