Watch it play

Spin the cube. Free the arrows.

A calm 3D puzzle for one thumb: turn the glass cube, find an arrow with a clear path and send it flying. The cats wander in while you play, and later on they help.

  • 999 levels: ten made by hand, the rest generated and checked, so none is a dead end
  • Arrows that bend round corners, double arrows, frozen arrows with gold keys and the crown arrow
  • From level 70 the cube turns into new shapes: a brick, a tee, a cross, stairs

How to play

One rule. A cube full of arrows.

Tap an arrow and it slides off if nothing is in its way. That is the whole rule. What grows is the reading: freeing an arrow only ever frees others, so no order is a dead end.

  1. 1The home screen of Cats & Arrows: a glass cube covered in arrows, five cats on the shelf
    Spin the cube

    Drag to turn the glass cube and pinch to zoom. Every face holds arrows, and some bend over the edges.

  2. 2Level 87 of Cats & Arrows: arrows on every face of the cube, the cats watching from below
    Tap a free arrow

    It slides off along its own body if nothing is in its way. If something is, that is a bump.

  3. 3The levels of Cats & Arrows, each with the stars it was cleared with
    Clear it clean

    No bump is three stars. Each bump costs one, and a third ends the try. Stuck? Throw a cat at the cube and it points out a move.

The chill zone

Then home to the cats.

Between levels the cats live in a shelter of their own. You start with three cats, a cat tree and six beds, and the rest is yours to fill.

The cat shelter of Cats & Arrows: cats on the beds, the rug and the cat tree, the food and water bowls
Fill the bowls

Tap a bowl to fill it: food and water are free. Pet a cat, throw the yarn or wave the feather wand for them to swat.

The Meow Shop

Crowns, bows, bells, bow ties and frog hats. Cat food for more throws. Or adopt a new cat and give it a name: seven more coats are waiting for a home.

The big stuff and the sunroom

Save up for a window hammock, an aquarium, a cardboard castle, a royal cushion and the grand prize, a tuna fountain. Buy the shelter bigger, or buy the sunroom: swipe across and a rope bridge joins the two cat trees. It has a kotatsu, a teepee, a sushi train and a claw machine. With the sunroom and the biggest shelter, there is room for ten cats in all. When your phone switches to dark mode, the shelter turns to dusk.
