New: Boss Boards. Every 25 levels the board hides its tiles and takes your hints away — three mistakes and it's over. Sudoku's logic, minesweeper's nerve.
One cat per colour. One per row. One per column. No two cats touching, not even at the corners. That is the entire rule set, and it is enough for a thousand hand-made boards.
Every board has exactly one solution and you can always reason your way to it. Mark the squares you have ruled out, follow what is forced, and enjoy the click when the last cat lands. Sudoku's constraints, minesweeper's deduction, none of the arithmetic.
-- THE DAILY CROWN PUZZLE, WITHOUT THE WAIT
If you play the one-a-day grid where a crown goes in every row, column and colour and none may touch — this is that logic, unlimited. A thousand levels, a daily puzzle, endless mode, and cats instead of crowns.

-- BRAIN TRAINING THAT IS ACTUALLY A GAME
Small boards teach you the moves. 12×12 boards make you earn them. No timers unless you want one, no grind, no notification spam.
-- FOR THE QUIET MINUTES
A board on the commute, one before bed, one while the kettle boils.
If you like sudoku, logic puzzles, brain teasers, brain training games, minesweeper, nonograms, or Queens and Star Battle grids, this is for you. And if you simply like cats, there are plenty here.
Free to play. Optional coin packs and a one-time ad removal.
I like the colorful grid and the little cat faces, and the three rules at the top use tiny pictures so you get them right away. Hearts, hints, and power-up buttons make it feel like a real game. The red and orange squares look really close together, so it's hard to tell the color groups apart. The power-up buttons also have no labels, so I had to guess what they do.
Developer Response
Thank you for such clear feedback. You're right that the red and orange regions can look too similar, so we're adding an option in an upcoming update that places a small symbol in each color region, making them easy to tell apart. The note about unlabeled power-up buttons is a fair point too, and we'll look at making them clearer 🐾

This is a fun version of sudoku, featuring not just cats but a coach encouraging your play if you want to engage with that element. I love that ads don't pop up to spoil the flow of the game, and I highly recommend this as a relaxing puzzle game!
