Bored is a simple puzzle game for when you're bored. The object is to stop one certain piece on the center space. All of the puzzles have solutions. The Rules: • You solve the puzzle if the SPECIAL piece STOPS on the center space. • When you move ANY piece, it keeps moving until it is blocked by another piece. • If a moving piece is NOT blocked, it will move off the board and the puzzle will reset. • No diagonal moves are allowed. Each of the 3 available puzzle packs increase in difficulty level and number of puzzles. Each puzzle has 8 possible orientations, randomly selected each time you play it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bored at 5.0 against Catch a Mouse's 3.7. Bored also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Catch a Mouse's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (270 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Catch a Mouse sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Bored sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bored holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Catch a Mouse has 270 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Catch a Mouse's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bored's.
Catch a Mouse ships an update monthly, Bored every 6 months. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
