Course of play

You steer the cat's paw with the mouse. Stack boxes into towers and solve the small puzzles that appear around the cat.

Collecting shiny items sets off a high-score fever. Clicking the cat's face pets it, which is a small extra rather than a goal.

Practical tips

  • Build a stable base before adding height to a tower.
  • Look for shiny items while stacking, not afterwards.
  • Treat each puzzle as a small separate task.
  • Petting the cat is optional; it does not change the stacking.

Suited to

Younger and casual players who like light, cheerful arcade games.

Points to weigh

  • Poki shows adverts around the game.
  • The puzzles are simple, so experienced players may finish quickly.
