Garfield, the lovable fat orange cat, has gotten himself into trouble. His pal, Odie, is missing and their owner, Jon, can't be bothered to look for him. So, Jon tells Garfield to find Odie on his own.
A Week of Garfield is a side-scrolling platform game based on the comic strip by Jim Davis. Garfield travels right through various city environments, fighting vermin like frogs, birds, and mice using his judo kick skills and different weapons like bones that can be thrown.
The game has seven stages, each representing a day of the week. Each stage has several sections with doors at the end, which Garfield must find a key to unlock. There are also bosses to defeat at the end of each stage, and time limits to keep Garfield from taking too long.
