A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Welcome to Squish Cat, a desktop idler game!

The cats are so squishy and cute...squish them for as long as possible to earn points! Let out your cuteness aggression!! But be careful not to risk it and squish them for too long...

Created for Brackeys Game Jam 2025.2!

Made in Java :)

Install instructions

Since this is a desktop idler, you'll need to download this game! When you click on the game for the first time, your computer may think it is malware and prevent you from opening it. To play the game, please open it anyways (I promise there is no malware in the game!)

To do this on Mac, control-click the game, click "Open," and then click "Open" again when asked if you're sure you want to open it.

On Windows, when the blue screen pops up, click "More info" if needed, then click "Run anyways."

For now I think you might only be able to run the game if you have Java installed on your computer. Sorry for the inconvenience!!

Thank you so much for playing!! (Please let me know if it works!!)

Hi! I tried starting the game, but its not working.
I tried downloading the latest Java. Still not working.

Hello! Thanks for trying to play my game! Are you getting the "A Java Exception has occurred" message? If so, open Terminal, then navigate to where the game is on your computer (if it's on your Desktop type in "cd Desktop/squish-cats/", then press enter) and then type in "java -jar squish-cats.jar" and press enter. Let me know if that works, and sorry for the hassle!
