🐈 Catch the CatPlay
The board starts with a few walls. The cat moves after each of your turns, so place more walls to close its routes to the edge. If the cat reaches the edge, it escapes. Think carefully before placing each new wall on the board.
In classic mode the cat chooses the first available direction. In easy mode it chooses a random available direction. Each win adds to your run score: fewer moves earn more points. A loss ends the run and your best result is saved.
