You are a mouse in somebody else's kitchen. The laddus are on the floor, the clock is running, and a very determined cat has just walked in.

OUTLAST THE CLOCK
That is the whole task. There is nothing you have to collect first - survive to zero and the level is yours. Levels 1 to 5 run two minutes, the rest run three. What you gather along the way decides your reward, not whether you passed.

A CAT THAT ACTUALLY HUNTS
She is not on rails. She paths around the furniture, cuts off the mouse hole you were sprinting for, and pounces the moment she gets a clear line. One cat hunts you all the way to level 8 - she simply gets faster and cleverer. Level 8 is where she brings a second pair of paws. And you are always faster than she is, so there is always a way out if you find it.

DIAMONDS OPEN THE NEXT KITCHEN
One diamond drops on the floor every minute, at a different moment every run, and it does not wait around. A banner counts it down and points you at it. You earn one more for every star. The next kitchen costs five - so a greedy run is a shorter wait.

MILK IS YOUR OLDEST TRICK
Every six laddus fills a milk jug, twice per level for free. Pour it and the closest cat walks over, drinks, and leaves the kitchen for a while. Caught in a mousetrap? Milk is the only way out of that too.

A SHOP, AND THREE WAYS TO CHEAT
Spend diamonds on sleep spray that drops a cat where it stands, a speed boost, or a shield that no claw gets through. Tap them on the right edge mid-chase. Very rarely one is lying on the kitchen floor instead - and so is a laddu that makes you grow, after which a cat costs you a size instead of the run.

TWO THINGS THAT ARE NOT CATS
On level 7 a snake comes up out of a mouse hole. It is not hunting anybody: it drifts with no plan and only strikes at what strays close, then forgets you. The cats will not go near it, which makes it cover if you dare use it. On levels 9 and 10 she brings her kitten - quicker than her, far worse at tracking, and small enough to follow you down a mouse hole. Which is why they are boarded shut. Nowhere to duck.

TEN KITCHENS
A sunlit home kitchen, teal tiles, a marble pantry, a steel restaurant galley, a grain storeroom, a mint diner, the head chef's kitchen - and two levels where the lights are off and all you have are your whiskers.

CONTROLS THAT GET OUT OF THE WAY
Touch anywhere and drag. A joystick appears under your finger and follows it, so a short push is already most of your speed and you never fight the edge of a ring. Double tap to dash and break a pounce.
