Recordkeeping: Google's Olympic Cat RPG Thing COMPLETE

[xyzzysqrl]

Look, I don't know what to call this.

Google has a thing on their front page, it's a weird... sports JRPG about being a ninja cat on a quest to get seven scrolls from sports-loving animals on Champion Island. It's absolutely lovely, has a number of cute minigames, the animated scenes are great, there's a plethora of side-quests if you go off the beaten path, it gets WAY too real at times. It's good!

Unfortunately it's... also reminding me of, y'know, the Olympics that nobody wanted this year, and which are carrying on anyway as a kind of athletic roach motel. That sucks.

The game's fun though. Very cute. I'm sad it'll vanish soon, as all Google project ephemera does.
[EDIT] Or it won't. Apparently Google does archive their doodles, which is nice to know. Thank you, julian.

Doodles don't!

(Google Reader, yes. Google+, yes. Everything else they put funds into and then do a U-Turn on, yes. Doodles, though: archived.)

Updated the entry!

I was just chuffed to find out about the archive, m'self, awhile back, which is why I spread the info.

Same, I didn't even know they DID that. It's a relief to know, somehow. They've got that Pac-Man one I really liked too.

So what are you counting as “complete” for it, anyway?

I did one round of each of the events and got a cute little ending video.

Celine did more than I did.
