Slide. Wrap. Win.

The cat slides until something stops it, and wraps every tile it crosses. Wrap the whole floor to clear the board. Easy to learn — the good boards are the ones you stare at.

  • Slate tiles still need wrapping
  • Teal tiles are done
  • Houses and edges stop the dash
Stage 1 First Thread

Swipe, or use the arrow keys. The cat slides until something stops it.

Real gameplay · no tricks

Swipe. Dash. Wrap it all.

One swipe sends the cat flying until something stops it — and every tile it crosses gets wrapped in yarn. Plan the route, use every move, clear the board.

  • Swipe to dash in a straight line
  • Houses and edges stop you
  • Wrap every tile for three stars
