Game summary

Catloaf 2600 is a small, minimalist, retro-style type of game. You are Catloaf. Through mysterious means, the nemesis foe, Master Meatloaf, has planted you inside his twisted creation, a labyrinth of puzzles and traps. The goal is to find your way through the maze and to Master Meatloaf himself, who is waiting at the end. The path is blocked by a series of puzzles. Find keys to unlock doors, push secret walls to reveal new rooms, move a boulder down a corridor to complete a sokaban-style puzzle, and memorize the path around traps before the lights go out. Switches shift the walls of the maze to reveal new paths and secrets. The graphics are drawn with all ASCII characters. You use the keyboard to navigate.
