Welcome to Palace Cat Puzzle! This is a sliding block puzzle mobile game themed around traditional Chinese imperial palaces, inspired by the classic Huarong Dao puzzle. On the game board, the golden big cat is your protagonist. Slide various cat pieces in all directions to clear a path for the golden cat, and escort it to the golden exit at the bottom to clear the stage. Levels are scattered across multiple layers of palaces; the fewer steps you take, the higher your star rating. Each level also features immovable "town stones" and one-way sliding "slide rail" pieces, adding a deeper layer of strategy to the gameplay.
