'Tis one of them good puzzle games.  Love the combination of math puzzles and room/movement puzzles.  Really great concept and cat pun.

I think this is great! I always love to see a cute kitty in any game. The use of numbers, and figuring out how to arrange them for your desired outcome is a fun challenge. The movement sound definitely makes it easier, and funnier when you have to restart a couple times and repeat the same moves. 

I think that with a bit more polishing and work you could make this a full fledged game. It reminds me a lot of things I played a long time ago on CoolMathGames.com. It's something new, with the nostalgic feeling of something old that I treasure the memory of.

The originality was the strongest point in this puzzler. Very theme-fitting and cute art. One thing that I think it can improve is the busywork. Talos Principle had a bit of that and it was a huge success.  Good job!

Nice little puzzler with some neat levels!  It would be nice to have the behavior for vertical combinations a little more clearly defined, but nice job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! And I appreciate the feedback. I agree that some of the combination behaviors aren't immediately obvious. And without the luxury of a ton of levels to slowly introduce it, a small note explaining it couldv'e gone a long way.

At first I though I had to do maths but was reassured. But then, maths xD

Developer

A box sliding puzzle that's actually fun! And I appreciate the H2G2 reference XD

Developer

Haha I'm happy someone noticed that. Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it.

This takes me back to games like Mathblaster, this would be great to share with kids who are learning multiplication, etc.

Developer

Oh man I haven't heard of Mathblaster in ages. It was a bit before my time so I didnt play it much. But games like it definitely helped me enjoy math. Thanks for playing!

Neat idea for a puzzle game, I liked level 7 in particular. I think the movement would feel a lot snappier and less tedious if the player moved with the balls of yarn when you push them, but other than that great job

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. And I completely agree! Updating the movement was next on my to-do list but I ran out of time. It was left over from the first prototype which had a more claustrophobic (and less fun) level design where it made more sense. Glad you still enjoyed it!

A great concept combined with cleverly designed puzzles make this a really nice game to play, well done!

Thanks for playing and leaving a nice comment. Glad you enjoyed it!

Great puzzle game! Really had me scratching my head sometimes. You know you're playing a good puzzle game when you feel very foolish and very smart at the same time. I wonder how many unique solutions there are for each level..

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked it! And yeah some of the levels were made with more than one solution in mind but I still managed to find a few unintended ones along the way. I'm sure there are more out there. Thanks so much for the comment.

Cute title pun. Challenging puzzles that were satisfying to solve. I like how the game makes you think spatially, not just about how to combine the numbers, but also how to keep them from getting stuck. Good tutorial and level design as well. Great idea!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for the nice comment. The title pun is 100% the reason for adding a cat in the first place lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
