CatMaus
๐ญ CatMaus
You are a mouse.
They are cats.
This will not be fair.
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.
๐ฅ 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.
๐ฑ THE CATS ARE WATCHING
They donโt just chase you — they learn your patterns.
- ๐ฑ Normal — simple alone, deadly in groups
- ๐ด Sleepy — unpredictable bursts of danger
- โก Speedy — relentless, lightning fast
- ๐ Avenger — gets stronger with every fallen ally
- ๐ Patrol — controls space with precision
- ๐ฏ Hunter — tracks your last known position
- ๐ฃ Coward — flees... until it traps you
The deeper you go, the worse it gets.
Faster. Smarter. Less forgiving.
Eventually, they all come at once.
๐ฎ SIMPLE CONTROLS — DEADLY DEPTH
Move with WASD or arrow keys.
Push blocks. Trap cats.
When a cat is fully surrounded, it turns into ๐ง cheese.
Collect everything to survive.
Thatโs it.
Until the board shrinks.
Until the cats speed up.
Until thereโs no room left to think.
๐ง TURN THE ODDS (SLIGHTLY)
Use tools wisely — they wonโt save you twice.
- ๐จ Hammer — break your way out
- ๐งฑ Wall Builder — create new traps instantly
- ๐งฒ Magnet — manipulate blocks at a distance
- โ๏ธ Freeze Trap — stop a hunter in its tracks
- โธ๏ธ Time Freeze — a few seconds of mercy
- ๐ก๏ธ Shield — one mistake forgiven
- ๐ Swap — chaos, controlled (barely)
- โณ Time Extender — delay the inevitable
- ๐ Cat Food — bait the trap… or yourself
๐บ๏ธ MASTER THE CAMPAIGN
30+ handcrafted levels.
Each one designed to test a different skill.
- โฑ๏ธ Time Attack — think fast or lose
- ๐ Chain Trap — precision and planning
- ๐ช Escape — survive and get out
- ๐ No Hit — perfection required
Earn stars. Optimize routes. Perfect every move.
๐ CHAOS WITH FRIENDS

Coordinate… or panic together.
