CatMaus is a fast-paced, high-pressure arcade puzzle game where survival depends on quick thinking, perfect positioning, and staying one step ahead of relentless predators.

Trap them. Outplay them. Turn them into cheese. Or get hunted down.

Easy to learn. Brutal to master.

🔥 OUTSMART. TRAP. SURVIVE.

You have no weapons. No upgrades to save you mid-run. Just your brain — and a handful of green blocks.

Push, position, and outmaneuver a board full of cats that are constantly adapting, cornering, and closing in.

Every move matters. Every mistake is punished.

🐱 THE CATS ARE WATCHING

They don’t just chase you — they learn your patterns.

🐱 Normal — simple alone, deadly in groups
😴 Sleepy — unpredictable bursts of danger
⚡ Speedy — relentless, lightning fast
😇 Avenger — gets stronger with every fallen ally
🚔 Patrol — controls space with precision
🎯 Hunter — tracks your last known position
🐣 Coward — flees... until it traps you

The deeper you go, the worse it gets. Faster. Smarter. Less forgiving.

Eventually, they all come at once.

🎮 SIMPLE CONTROLS — DEADLY DEPTH

Move with WASD or arrow keys. Push blocks. Trap cats.

When a cat is fully surrounded, it turns into 🧀 cheese. Collect everything to survive.

That’s it.

Until the board shrinks. Until the cats speed up. Until there’s no room left to think.

🔧 TURN THE ODDS (SLIGHTLY)
