Besides, most of the platforms are positioned juuuuuust right so it’s almost never an issue. The jumping in Nyan Cat: Lost In Space took some getting used to as the little guy jumps as though he were wearing lead shoes, but it doesn’t take too long to adjust. And then there are the un-lockables themselves: level themes, outfits (Nyan Predator? Why not?), and permanent power-up boosts that can really mix things up. The other puts players in control of Nyan Cat’s nemesis, Tac Nayn, who’s some kind of evil waffle cat. There are a great deal of unique power-ups that can change just about any situation, plenty of quirky platforms (bouncing, disappearing, etc) to keep players on their toes, and the ever-present call of the coin to unlock new stuff. To say Nyan Cat: Lost In Space is almost bursting at the seams with content is putting it mildly. Coins can also be acquired throughout each run and can then be spent on new themes, outfits, and power-up upgrades.

And by “goodies” I mean donuts, cakes, space helmets, “cigarettes” that seem a bit to Rasta to be comprised of tobacco, Super Nyan Cat logos, and a whole lot more. By “bad things” I mean dogs, sticks of dynamite, and even UFOs that will abduct and shakedown Nyan Cat for his treats. The little rainbow-trailing Pop Tart feline must leap from platform to delicious platform, gathering snacks and other assorted goodies while avoiding bad things or plummeting to certain doom. Nyan Cat: Lost In Space is… well, it’s Nyan Cat. Sure the music is catchy – I vote to make the orchestral version the official theme of the Internet - and the cartoon is cute, but haven’t we taken this far enough? Apparently not as there’s still more Nyan Cat making its way into virtually every form of media these days.
