Version FAQ
How should I plan my route?
Avoid moving haphazardly! Plan a safe path between trampolines. Typically start on one side and zig-zag across each floor while using doors as barriers to control the cat gang’s progress.
What’s the best use for doors?
Wait until a door fully opens to collect the goods. Quickly tapping the door can be used strategically—it can drop cats straight down if they step underneath it or pop up to knock them aside.
Are some cats faster?
No, all Meowkie cats move at the same speed and follow identical pathing rules. The difficulty comes from their sheer numbers (4-6 per level) and increasingly confined space.
