Introduction
Welcome to my guide for Captain Cat, a puzzle game by Rendercode Games. You play as Captain Cat on his quest for food as you use a rope to skewer a fish/snail on 75 different levels. There is an endless mode as well but it isn’t needed for any trophies. The controls are simple: Hold to release the anchor to start. Once it stops, it will swing back and forth until you decide to press and hold again. Be careful not to go too far! There is no way to go up, only left, right and down. Collect the coins, avoid the obstacles and skewer the fish or snail to complete each level and go on to become the greatest Captain Cat in all the seven seas.
As mentioned above, there are 75 different levels. There are 25 Waspfish and 25 Housekeeper levels that you must complete with three stars. Stars are based on collecting all gold coins, amount of rope knots used, and time spent completing the level. You can see what is needed for each level when it boots up, before you drop anchor for the first time. The biggest advice I can give is that all requirements for 3 stars do not have to be done at the same time. For example: You can spend all the time in the world safely collecting the coins, then replay the level a second time for both time and knots or you can even make three separate runs if you'd like. As long as you complete the three objectives at any time and complete the level, they will count.
Most of the trophies will come from completing the above 50 levels and watching out for miscellaneous trophies The last 25 levels are part of Perfect Mode, which requires you to skewer the fish in a single rope anchor. However you'll be pleased to know that you can just press to skip the first 24 levels, and then just complete level 25 in this mode. This will give you credit for the Sniper Fish trophy with minimal effort.
Walkthrough
Step 1: Complete all 25 Waspfish levels and earn 3 stars on each.
Start by completing the 25 Waspfish levels with 3 stars on each. Most of these are easy and straightforward and give you the lowdown on how to play the game. Remember that if you struggle, you can make separate runs for each star. I found it useful on some of the harder levels to get all of the coins first, then make a timed run using as little knots as possible. Keep an eye out for the Kebab trophy, as this can be done on a few levels in Waspfish. It is also worth mentioning that some levels have treasure chests. Collecting all of these give you a 2x bonus on score for that level. There is a cumulative trophy for earning 100,000 score so I suggest trying to get these on every level until you are done with that trophy.
In this step, you will earn:
Sailor
Guided by the stars
Ship Mate
Bowline
Bounty Hunter
Full Speed Ahead!
Lieutenant
Break on through
Kebab
Captain
Fisherman of the year
Undersea Bee Hive
Golden Waspfish
Step 2: Complete all 25 Housekeeper levels, earning 3 stars on each.
Next you can begin working on the 25 Housekeeper levels. These are more advanced levels but most of them are still simple. You will also need to earn all 3 stars on each level here, just like Waspfish. There’s another miscellaneous trophy here: Ride of the Valkiries. See the trophy guide for more information.
In this step, you will earn:
Admiral
Ride of the Valkiries
A beginner’s guide to the sea
Evicted Fish
Golden HouseKeeper
Step 3: Complete the final level of Perfect Mode
Lastly, you need to complete the 25th level of Perfect Mode. You can play all 25 if you please or you can just skip the levels until you get to the final one and complete that one. It's a bit tricky and took me a few tries but eventually I was able to skewer right through the urchins and complete it.
In this step, you will earn:
Sniper Fish
Platinum
