About

HexCat

Features
Read full description

HexCat is a clever hex-grid puzzle about outsmarting cats. Place walls on the honeycomb board to block the cats' escape and trap them before they slip away. Two modes share one simple rule: surround the cats until they have nowhere left to move. Download HexCat and see how many cats you can corner! ▼ CLASSIC MODE One cat, a shifting board, and a perfect solution hiding in plain sight. Clear 30 hand-crafted levels that grow trickier as you go, and chase the optimal move count to earn three stars. ▼ CHAOS MODE Four cats at once, a handful of walls, and no ticking clock. Spend your limited walls wisely to trap as many cats as you can. Every cat has a personality—Milo vanishes, Coco dives into bushes, Cloud toys with the dog, and Luna ignores the fish cans everyone else craves. ▼ TOOLS • Walls — block a hex and shape the cats' paths. • Rudy the Beagle — a one-time companion who herds cats toward your traps. • Fish Cans — lure most cats exactly where you want them (Luna isn't fooled). • Bushes — cats inside hide and wander unpredictably. ▼ FEATURES • Two distinct modes: 30 Classic levels and 21 Chaos puzzles • Game Center leaderboards (top level per mode) and 10 achievements • Four cat characters with unique behaviors • Toggleable haptics and sound, full landscape design • 10 languages supported • Free to play, with an optional one-time Rudy unlock, consumable Fish Cans, and a rewarded ad that grants a bonus Fish Can. No ads in Classic Mode. ▼ Terms of Service https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula ▼ Privacy Policy https://www.tfaces.com/hexcat/privacy-policy/index.html
