How it feels

A calming but brain-teasing puzzle game where you carefully outwit a skittish animal using simple, elegant interactions.

What players say

Players praise the tight level design and the novel mechanic of an animal that flees in a straight line. The game stays approachable throughout, though some note a weird difficulty curve with occasional spikes. Levels can be skipped freely, and the puzzles remain deductive and satisfying without feeling stale.
