Play Garfield And His Nine Lives Online

I picked up Garfield And His Nine Lives for the Game Boy Advance back in 2006. It was published by The Game Factory, and it fit right in with the kind of licensed platformers that were common on the handheld at the time. You don't see many people talking about it now, but it was just another title on the shelf, a simple game based on the comic strip cat.

You control Garfield through a series of side scrolling levels. The main goal is to rescue Odie and your other animal friends from a villain. You walk, jump on platforms, and avoid enemies like robots and spiders. A couple of specific things you do are throwing pies at enemies to stun them and using a special vacuum to suck up items. The game moves at a steady pace, but some of the platforming can be tricky, requiring precise jumps. It feels like a straightforward, sometimes challenging run through a cartoon world.
