Cat & Yarn: catch the falling yarn
Balls of yarn are tumbling from the ceiling and one cat is determined to catch every last one. Meet Cat & Yarn, our new catching game.
How it works
- Hold the left or right of the room (or the arrow buttons), or use the arrow keys or A and D, to slide the cat under a falling ball.
- Every level has a set amount of yarn. Catch at least seven in ten and the level is cleared.
- Drop too many and the level unravels: you lose a chance and play it again.
- Grey tangled knots fall too. Catch one and you lose a chance, so let it drop past.
- You have three chances for the whole run.
Scoring
Every ball you catch scores 10 points times your level, and catches in a row add more, so a long combo is worth a lot. A golden ball is worth three plain ones. Clear a level and you bank a bonus, plus more for every chance you have left, and a bigger one still if you caught every single ball.
Busier as you go
Level 1 has ten balls, drifting down gently and no knots at all. Each level adds two more balls, the yarn falls faster and lands more often, and from level 2 the knots start to turn up. Your run is saved whenever you clear a level, so you can pick it up again on the next one.
A few tips
- Head for the next ball straight away. Do not wait for it to get close.
- Go straight from ball to ball. Knots always land outside the stretch between two balls, so you never have to cross one.
- Let a hard one go. You can drop three in ten and still clear the level.
