A bright, family-friendly race to rescue cats on a hand-drawn island with a lighthearted competitive feel.

What players say

Players call this a faithful digital version of the board game with polished graphics and animations, though some say the lesson panel is cramped and hard to scroll. A few report scoring bugs and note that pass-and-play only works in family mode. Multiplayer lacks an async option, which disappointed fans of other Dire Wolf ports. The tutorial is praised for teaching the rules well.
