Kitty Cat Squash

Kitty Cat Squash is a relaxing tile-merging game where you slide cats across a board and combine matching tiles to reveal new cats. You can aim for a high score and discover all 16 cats, each with a name and a short description in Meet the Cats.

Merge cats and score

Use the arrow controls to move the cats and merge matching tiles. Each cat level is worth twice as many points per merge as the level before it, starting at 1 point. A chime plays when you beat your high score and another plays when you discover a new cat.

You can use the cats’ merge order and the board’s corners to set up cascades, and keep your strongest cats near a corner. Each game allows one undo.

Settings and statistics

Optional modes include Super Fill Mode, Spawn Any Discovered Cat and Gravity Mode. A dark background is also available. Statistics include the number of merges, swipes and cats spawned, along with averages and spawn rates for each cat.

Audio settings provide a master volume and five additional sliders for UI sounds, chimes, the game-reset meow, game over, and cat merge, spawn and swipe sounds. Display settings let you show the FPS, adjust board zoom, disable startup tips and toggle fullscreen.

Controls and animation

You can swipe using on-screen arrow paws, WASD, arrow keys or controller buttons and axes. Swipe Mode supports touchscreens and mouse dragging, with an adjustable distance required for a swipe to register.

Swipe animation time is adjustable, and Time to Think automatically changes swipe speed: animations are quicker when the board is less full and slow as it fills up.
