The game has a lovely visual style, but the large block of text in the tutorial was a bit overwhelming. I tried to figure out how to play on my own, but unfortunately, I couldn't quite get the hang of it

Thank you so much for the kind words about the visual style.
I completely understand your point about the tutorial — the large amount of text can feel overwhelming at first, and this is something I’m planning to improve in future updates.
How to play
You play by matching 3 or more cats, just like Candy Crush, to clear paths.
Some cats are awake and blocking the way, so you must feed them biscuits to make them fall asleep.
You can feed cats by pressing the F key or by clicking the biscuit icon at the top-right of the screen.
Sleeping cats can be moved and matched, allowing you to rearrange them and dig a path forward for the main cat to move using WASD.
To win the level, you must guide the kitten to her home, following the direction shown by the compass.
I hope you’ll give the game another try while following these instructions, as they help reveal the core mechanics and intended gameplay experience.
