About this game

One cat. Nine chances. How will you spend yours?

The Last of the 9 Lives is a fast-paced retro arcade tribute packed with three distinct game modes

connected by a shared pool of nine lives. Whether you are scaling an endless flooding tower, sprinting across

wrapping 3D planets, or bouncing through a multi-tiered pinball table, every run demands quick reflexes, sharp

timing, and precision.

Step up to the cabinet, chase high scores, and make every life count!

Three Games in One Arcade

Tower Climb (The Original Jumper)

Leap from platform to platform in an infinite vertical climb against rapidly rising floodwaters. Master mid-air

claw dashes, navigate moving and crumbling ledges, and collect milk bottles and fish for massive bonus points

before the water catches up.

Milk Orbit (Spherical Runner)

Sprint across endless wrapping 3D planets inspired by classic arcade bonus stages. Guide your cat through tight

lanes, jump over red hazards, enclose milk perimeters to clear loops, and collect the elusive golden fish waiting

inside.

Nine Lives Pinball (Flippers, Fish, and Freefall)

Launch into an action-packed, three-tier pinball table spanning the Milk Works, the Fishery, and the Summit. Hit

bumpers, shoot ramps, rescue caged fish, unleash 20 seconds of three-cat Multiball chaos, and defeat the mechanical

Tin Can Warden boss to unlock the summit exit.
