About This Game

Pounce into a handcrafted pixel art world as ‘maustrap’, a particularly nimble and adventurous cat. Chase scampering mice, destroy their hidden nests, and complete jobs for iconic characters. Explore scenic landscapes, discover a museum full of art, or just loaf around. You're a cat, after all.

Complete Jobs, Unlock Cats, Levels, and Costumes

Progress through Career mode by completing jobs. Unlock new levels and chapters that will bring you through farms, sewers, pirate ships, and space. You'll be able to unlock up to three cute cat characters, each with a unique personality, appearance, and customisables.

Move Like a Cat

String together jumps, double jumps, wall slides, and satisfying pounces to reach any ledge, or pesky mouse. Need a break? Loaf anywhere to regain stamina quickly and watch the clouds drift by.

Not Every Day Is For Fighting

Enter Adventure mode and start exploring expansive handcrafted worlds. Peruse the fine art and natural history exhibits at our Museum. Travel by cable car into the rural mountains of Japan and step into a steaming Onsen bath. Trek through the dense bush of the Kaimai ranges in Aotearoa.

Track Your Stats, Earn Achievements

Earn achievements for completing small challenges. If you're feeling confident, try beat the golden time for each job, or finish each job as each of the three furballs.
