😺🦴 RedCat, an anthropomorphic, red cat races against time to rescue his friend Whizkitty from the clutches of witch Grizella. With Whizkitty captured, Grizella wants to brew a potion to steal Whizkitty's beauty for herself. Very bad! Redcat will save her with his "zap zoem" magic bengbeng pellets (yes, that's what they're called).
RedCat Spookkasteel is a Dutch horror game for Windows 95 & Windows 98 PCs by infamous game developer Davilex created for ages 6 and up. The translated English title is RedCat Haunted Castle and some game files have this same name inside, suggesting that the game was initially supposed to be translated and released in other countries. But this never happened to my knowledge.

1:42:59 Redo Level 5 w/ upgraded firepower
As you can see above, I redid Level 5. At the end of level 4 you're supposed to get an upgrade to your firing power called "magische Bengbengbolletjes" but it didn't work for me. Not sure if a bug or just my machine.

Description from the original box art
Grizella, de boze heks, heeft WhizzKitty gevangen en alleen RedCat kan haar redden!
Ga met RedCat op zoek in en rond het magische Spookkasteel.
In de 5 verschillende werelden zal je het op moeten nemen tegen tal van vijanden. In het Bos, het Kasteel, de Grotten, het Kerkhof en de Kasteeltoren houden ook Brutus en Max zich schuil en zullen op de meest onverwachte momenten proberen RedCat te dwarsbomen!
Schrik niet wanneer je onderweg griezelige en betoverde wezens tegenkomt zoals reuzenspinnen, roodneusvleermuizen, gifkikkers en fel gekleurde spookjes!
