Here some ideas of mine:

Goal/Story

We could use a weather related story, like:

Earth is getting colder because all the greenhouse gasses got avoided by all governments and now there is only one cat that is able to get [some kind of fancy scientific device here] from the future to use it in the past to save the world!

Goal: travel to the future to bring sth to the past and apply it.

With this we could go from warmer natural forces (dust/sand storm) in the past to colder forces (snow/blizzard in the future) or we just use the exactly inverted story and make it more realistically with what is actually going on (more meaningful maybe, if we want that?).

What natural forces should we use?

dust/sand
wind /leaves
rain
water/waves
snow
ice cubes

Should there be some that represent rather the past or the future?
Which one is easier/harder to avoid as a cat? (I.e. which one should be for lower or higher "levels"?)

Game Controls

tapping/clicking gives the cat energy (better solution provided in #19, #20)
natural forces appear randomly while walking
the forces steal energy from the cat if they are not avoided by jumping or ducking to avoid/weaken collisions
if the cat runs out of energy it is send to the past (some years/decades?)
to travel to the future the cat must have enough energy
in order to collect energy the cat could have e.g. 3 batteries in her body (because it’s a cute little cyber cat)
each battery stores a certain amount of energy that could be moved from your cat energy to this storage (which will remove the energy from your cat of course and make it harder to stay in the present after storing energy to get to the future... wow, sounds great doesn’t it? ;))
as soon as you filled all batteries you travel to the future and fight against the next/stronger natural forces
if you reached the future you will pick up the device and bring it to the past by just being a lazy cat :)
