LONGCAT PUZZLE Slide the cat. Cover every tile. Solve the path puzzle. Longcat Puzzle is a sliding path puzzle game where your cat stretches across the board one move at a time. Guide the cat’s head in straight lines, stop at walls and stone blocks, and cover every walkable tile without crossing your own trail. A smart brain teaser logic game that is easy to learn and hard to put down. HOW IT WORKS • Swipe to slide the cat’s head up, down, left, or right • The cat moves in a straight line and stops at walls, obstacles, or its own body • Every tile the cat passes through becomes part of the trail • Cover every walkable tile on the board to clear the level THE PUZZLE CHALLENGE This is not a reflex game. It is a pure logic puzzle. Your cat only moves in straight lines. It stops at walls, stone blocks, empty space, and its own body. One wrong slide can trap the path, so every move matters. The real challenge is planning ahead, thinking two or three moves forward, and mapping the full route before you commit. Think of it as a sliding tile puzzle mixed with a classic snake-style path challenge. Every level is a new board to solve from scratch. Simple to learn. Surprisingly deep. Always satisfying. FEATURES • Unique sliding path puzzle gameplay • Pure logic challenge with no randomness • Cute blocky cat art with colorful puzzle boards • Undo your last move • Restart any level instantly • Solution viewer for when you get stuck • Smooth, satisfying gameplay PERFECT FOR • Fans of logic puzzles and brain teasers • Players who enjoy maze games and fill-the-grid challenges • Snake game fans looking for a smarter puzzle experience • Anyone who likes calm, focused, offline puzzle games Every level is a new path to discover. Every slide is a decision that matters. How far can Longcat stretch?

Hidden Chess: Shadow Chess reinvents traditional chess with a unique hidden-piece system that turns every match into a battle of strategy, memory, and deduction. Unlike classic chess, most pieces begin the game hidden. Their identities remain unknown until they make their first move. Combined with randomized starting positions, every match becomes an unpredictable challenge where adaptation matters more than memorized openings. A New Chess Experience Traditional chess rewards preparation and opening knowledge. Hidden Chess rewards creativity, observation, and strategic thinking. Key Rules: • Most pieces start hidden • Pieces reveal themselves after moving • Randomized starting arrangements • Standard chess movement and capture rules • Every game offers a unique challenge Think Ahead, Adapt Faster Every move contains uncertainty. Is that hidden piece a powerful attacker or a harmless decoy? Should you take the risk or play safely? Success requires: • Strategic planning • Memory and observation • Tactical decision-making • Reading your opponent • Adapting to unexpected situations Game Features • Innovative hidden-piece chess gameplay • Play against AI opponents • Challenge real players • Fast and smooth controls • Clean and modern interface • Endless strategic possibilities Perfect For • Chess players seeking a fresh challenge • Fans of strategy and board games • Players who enjoy deduction and mind games • Anyone looking for a new chess experience Every piece hides a secret. Every move changes the board. Can you master the shadows?
