This is one in a series of level-by-level guides for speedrunning each of the worlds in the mobile version of PUSS!. In this guide, I will go over speedrunning strats for all the levels appearing in Innerworld.

Since the levels don't really have any official names, I try to provide short names and a short description of the aesthetics of each level in an effort to identify them.

I also give each level a 1-5 star rating for difficulty and speed. For difficulty, 1 star is easiest and 5 stars is hardest. For speed, 5 stars is fastest. For each level, I also specify whether Ghost Cat appears.

Banana

Difficulty: ✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: yes

Kitten faces scroll up the right and left sides of the level while 3 cat heads appear to be eating a snack just offscreen at the bottom. The BGM often says "Well, paint me yellow and call me banana".

If you're very fast, you can sit on the timer switches until their gates are only half-way open. You can then squeeze through the small, middle gap into the exit.

Block Party

Difficulty: ✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

A guantlet of moving blocks with palmtrees and fire to the sides, and a tiger at the bottom.

There are a few places where you can skip past gaps between the blocks to get ahead in their cycles. Slide to the exit once there are no blocks in the way.

Dolphin Baptism

Difficulty: ✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

The level features a pool of water with a floating humanoid figure. When you activate the timer switch, the path to the exit opens, dolphins rise to the surface, and a cat face appears in the void of the gate's area.

After the gate to the exit is barely open, you can slide to the exit quite easily.

Drip

Difficulty: ✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

A pool at the top of the screen rains giant cat heads down to the pool at the bottom of the screen as obstacles. This is a mobile-only level.

It is super easy to just swing around into the exit immediately without even sliding. This level is practically free unless you run into one of the dropping heads.

Eggs

Difficulty: ✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: ?

A maze with moving fried eggs as obstacles. At the bottom are the words "sim sa la bim!".

You don't even need to go through the right side of the level. Once you get past the 2nd gauntlet of eggs, just slip past the incoming eggs and slide into the exit.

Exotic Pool Party

Difficulty: ✰✰ Speed: ✰ Ghost Cat: no

Pink platforms over a pool of water with cyan brick walls and exotic music.

This level is horribly slow, and Ghost Cat won't even show up if you die. Make your way to the checkpoint. If at this point, the leftmost platform isn't in the bottom half of its movement path, moving upward, death abuse to advance its frames. Then finish the level casually.

Floral Slots

Difficulty: ✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

A headless cat is on the right side of the level with its neck forming a portal wreathed in flowers. The cat's head appears on the left side of the level. The level itself is a guantlet of blocks that bounce vertically back and forth. The BGM has jazz music and casino noises.

With some speed and spatial awareness you can skip between gaps in the blocks to move ahead of their cycles. Slide to the exit when you reach the bottom path.

Folkdance

Difficulty: ✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

Two sets of 2x2 moving platforms leave a trail behind in a seemingly random, teleporting pattern. On the left side, a bunch of small cats dance in a circle in profile view around a larger cat superimposed over the starting 2x2 platform.

Move to the 2nd 2x2 platform on the right when it appears. Then once the path to the exit is clear, slide to it. The teleporting dance of the tiles may seem random, but this strategy works very consistently, making this a very fast level if you do it correctly.

Funhouse Backroom

Difficulty: ✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: yes

A level with rainbow-colored walls and multiple vertically-moving pistons. On either side of the level are oval portraits of cats.

After the first 3 pistons, while the 4th piston is down, you can barely squeeze through the gap between the 3rd and 4th piston to immediately reach the exit.

Garden Tour

Difficulty: ✰✰✰ Speed: ✰ or ✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: yes

A series of cyan paths over a pink background with a very nature-y sounding BGM. Slow moving platforms provide access from one path to another. Aliens move back and forth across the rightmost path.

This level is another painfully slow one, but there is a trick you can do to skip waiting on the first platform. If the first moving platform is aligned with the top path, you can actually clip into the off-path area, fly to the left and reboard the platform! On a good cycle, the next platform should be aligned with the path you're on, so get ahead to it, cross to the next platform, and finish the level normally.

Gore

Difficulty: ✰✰✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: yes

A pearlescent level with a cat at the bottom missing the top of its head. Lasers shoot out from the head. The top of the level has the word "G O R E".

This level is very tricky with the barrage of lasers you must dodge while also navigating narrow corridors. When you are past the lasers, you can slide to the exit, but be careful not to clip past it!

Hail Mary

Difficulty: ✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰ or ✰✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: yes

In the middle of this level, there is a mirror with Saint Mary flanked by two cats and a lot of candles.

You can superslide this level in one or two attempts. If you fail the first time, you'll likely hit the checkpoint and it's easier to slide through the rest of the level.

Kissy Kissy Mew Mew

Difficulty: ✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

A pearly-colored level with crushing horizontal and vertical walls. Petals rain from the upper right and there are two cat heads smooching aggressively with romantic music.

After about halfway through the level, you can pretty reliably slide through the rest of it.

Lava Waltz

Difficulty: ✰✰ Speed: ✰✰ Ghost Cat: ?

A platform with lava and a timer switch moves around in a clockwise motion near the start of the level. The switch brings platforms over from the exit for you to ride on.

You can move over the lava relatively safely. It doesn't count as a wall.

Noah

Difficulty: ✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: yes

This level features a derpy orange cat with a spinning pyramid shooting squares of light that rain down the left and right sides of the level. The BGM of this level contains the dialog "Noah... Show me your faith... build me a ship! Son of a bitch! Caaandyyyy...".

This level mostly just requires swift movement while avoiding the square light bullets. On the right side of the level, it is possible to skip past some squares in the zig-zagging corridor. At the final stretch, just slide to the exit once the squares are out of the way.

NOPE

Difficulty: ✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: ?

A long, horizontal hall with crushing wall, a cat shaking its head, and letters spelling the word "NOPE".

Superslide into the exit.

Pearly Whites

Difficulty: ✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: yes

Pearl-white platforms above a pit of massive, rapidly chomping teeth. A giant laser bisects the level horizontally in the center.

If you start with a bad cycle with the first two moving platforms, use death abuse to advance the cycles so that they are approaching more closely to the starting platform. Board them, and cross over to the platforms going over the laser until you reach the bottom area of the level. If you death-abused earlier and Ghost Cat is there, just use him to exit the level. Otherwise, slide to brute-force your way past the teleporting blocks and get to the exit. This slide is tricky and may take a few tries. If you fail and Ghost Cat appears, just take his offer to exit the level.

Pet the Kitty

Difficulty: ✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

A pink level with pulsating walls and bullets that start to rain down from above. On the left side, there is a hand petting a cat's head.

It is actually easy to superslide this level by doing two very wide, counter-clockwise, circular sliding motions.

Princess Bathhouse

Difficulty: ✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

A pink level with pearly paths and moving platforms over pools of water with palm trees.

At the start of the level, the moving platforms should be in sync with each other so that you can cross to the next segment in just 1 cycle. I wouldn't recommend using death abuse to advance the cycles unless their cycles become unsynced. After the second segment, when the gaps in the middle path are closed, slide to the exit.

Serenade Lake

Difficulty: ✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

A pink level over a lake with moving platforms and a timer switch in the middle with a cascade of bullets raining down. Two giant cats behind the mountains in the background stare at each other while romantic music plays.

You can fly over most of the void in the left area with the moving platforms to get to the center moving column. You will have to fly from one platform to the next, however, so you cannot fly straight from the start to the middle. Finish the rest of the level normally.

Stargate

Difficulty: ✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: ?

A circularly level with orbiting bullets. You must press 4 timer switches to open the gates to the exit.

You don't need to open the gates all the way. As long as they are at least a couple pixels wide, you'll be able to slip through to the exit.

Tiger Freebie

Difficulty: ✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

A horizontal hallway with squishing walls. A tiger rests on a lounge chair ontop of the hallway. To either side of the level there are headless female mannequins in the background, censored by the level itself. The left side of the hall has the word "cmd". The right side of the hall has the word "ctrl".

95% of the time, the way to the exit will be clear as soon as the level starts. Just superslide right in! This level is practically free!

Triangle Wave

Difficulty: ✰ Speed: ✰✰✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: no

An oscillating, angular path with stationary square dots as obstacles over a lake. If you wait long enough (which you probably won't), a flaming tiger on a magic carpet will cross the lake on the bottom of the screen.

This level is pretty easy to superslide.

Valentine Bridge

Difficulty: ✰✰✰✰ Speed: ✰✰✰ Ghost Cat: yes

A pink and white level with cherubs flying in the background and moving platforms providing bridges across the paths. The music sounds like it is perpetually rising in a never-ending crescendo.

By moving quickly, you can move across all 3 moving bridge platforms at once to get from one side to another. On a good cycle, you get to the rightmost shaft when the red gap is closed. The last part is a lot riskier for crossing all 3 bridge platforms in one go. Try getting to the first safe tile first as the bridge platforms are coming down, then slide the rest of the way as they are going back up.

Priestess

In the bottom part of the corridor, you can just fly over the pits to get to the middle hall with the checkpoint quickly. You must next press the switches on the left and right sides of the pre-boss corridor. Go first to whichever side the alien isn't on. You can fly over the hole along the top edge of the level. You cannot fly over the hole in area with the right switch. Immediately after hitting either switch, death abuse to return to the center and advance frames. When both switches are pressed, Fly back across the bottom-center hole to the gates and slide through as soon as they are opened at least a few pixels wide.

During the boss fight, focus on getting the Priestess to step on spikes until she exposes her core. Don't worry too much about avoiding the spikes or barf puddles. They'll start hurting you, but you can pretty much fly over them. When her core is exposed, go inside it and camp there! You'll lose a lot of lives doing this, but it'll make all the eyes shoot their bullets directly at the core, allowing you to defeat her quickly. If you're lucky, you might be able to defeat her in one cycle this way. If you're low on lives after the first cycle, you can also try death abusing to summon Icarus to finish her off. If she only has a little bit of health left, instead just get her to run over some spikes.
