Herding Cats

About

Herding Cats tasks you with guiding a group of felines into a designated area using a limited set of tools. Each level presents a grid where cats move in straight lines until they hit an obstacle or the edge. You place barriers or redirect their paths to herd them into position. The mechanics are simple but require careful planning as cats ignore your commands directly. The puzzle challenges escalate gradually, mixing spatial reasoning with trial and error. A minimalist art style keeps the focus on the brain-teasing gameplay. Created by Anna Anthropy, the game leans into her knack for concise yet clever design. While short, most players finish in under an hour, it packs in satisfyingly tricky levels that reward patience. The cats’ stubborn behavior adds a cheeky charm to the problem solving. Casual players and puzzle enthusiasts alike appreciate its no-frills approach. No large worlds or complex systems here, just a series of tight challenges that stick around long after you beat them.
