Copycat

Two cats and a garden full of puzzles.

Copycat is a cozy puzzle game about two playful cats trying to reach their matching yarn balls. The catch? Both cats move at the same time and you only have a limited number of moves to complete each level.

Every step affects both cats, so you’ll need to think ahead, use the environment, and carefully plan each route. Walls can block one cat while the other keeps moving, arrow tiles push cats in different directions and special + / − move pickups can change the amount of moves.

Guide both cats through the garden, solve tricky shared-movement puzzles and make sure they reach their corresponding yarn balls at the same time!

This is the game jam version of Copycat. We already have plenty of ideas for new mechanics, puzzles and improvements that we would love to share in future updates.
