How it feels

A chaotic and cute puzzle game where you frantically herd cartoon cats using toys and trial-and-error.

What players say

Players love the cute, chaotic cats but find them frustratingly realistic, they ignore you, wander off, and make simple puzzles harder. The game is short, around 2 hours to finish, but chasing three stars can take much longer and requires patience. Opinions are consistent: it captures the true experience of herding cats.
