How to play
- The café cat got out before opening, and the staff spilled kibble all over the floor. Gobble every bit of it, one tile at a time, while four round robot vacuums trundle the aisles. Clear the floor and the cat moves on to the next room.
- Steer with the arrow keys or W, A, S, and D. Press a direction a little before a corner and the cat takes it as soon as it can. On a phone, swipe on the playfield or use the four-way pad under it. The cat flaps on each side of the café carry you through the wall to the other side.
- Each kibble is worth 10. The four green felt mice are catnip toys, worth 50 each, and they give the cat the zoomies: for a few seconds the vacuums panic, back away at half speed, and flash amber hazard lights. The zoomies get shorter every level.
- Pounce on a panicking vacuum to send it whirring back to its dock. The first pounce in one burst of zoomies is worth 200, then 400, 800, and 1,600. A pounced vacuum rolls out again a moment later.
- The vacuums have habits. Tidy chases you head on, Sweep tries to cut you off ahead, Swirl swings in from the side, and Dusty wanders off whenever you get close. They take turns hunting and heading for their own corners, and they get faster each level.
- Twice a level a treat shows up near the docks, from a sardine tin worth 100 up to a jeweled collar worth 5,000. Grab it before it goes. You start with three lives and earn one more at 10,000 points. Getting caught only bumps the cat, which sulks for a moment, and then it is back at the start.
- Press P or Esc to pause, M to mute, and Enter to start. The Daily button plays a run on today's seed, and the Seed button plays the run for a code you type.
