Parents' Guide to Super Phantom Cat 2

It's always sad when one slight miscalculation ruins an otherwise fun (though not very original) arcade game. In Super Phantom Cat 2, you have to rescue a friend who's been kidnapped by an alien robot in a spaceship. To do so, you have to make your way to the right, running and jumping your way through a two-dimensional side-scrolling, obstacle course-like world full of clever traps that require split-second timing and on-your-feet thinking. So, yeah, it's basically like Super Mario Bros. if you swapped Mario for Hello Kitty.

But being unoriginal isn't the problem with this arcade game. Especially since its worlds are clever and intricate, providing players with challenges to both their intellects and their reflexes. No, the problem is that if you try to play this on a tablet you'll quickly realize that, because of their size and placement, the virtual buttons you use to go to the right is really far away from the edge of the screen. So much so that it's difficult to hold the tablet steady and play the game comfortably at the same time. And that's not just if you're a kid with small hands -- the same can be said of adults with average sized hands as well. Which is why people who play Super Phantom Cat 2 on their phones will jump for joy, but people who try to play it on a tablet will just jump off and play something else.
