Catpad
ArcadeComputer, phone, tablet
Catpad is a clicker-style arcade game about a playful cat: you stack box towers, solve simple puzzles and collect shiny items. It suits anyone who wants a relaxed game that needs only a mouse.
What happens on the ice
You control a paw with the mouse. Clicking moves it, and clicking the cat's face pets the cat. The main work is stacking boxes into towers and solving the simple puzzles the game sets while you do it.
Shiny items are scattered through the game. Collecting them triggers a high-score fever, a short stretch where the score climbs faster. Nothing needs to be installed, and the game opens in the browser on Poki.
Who will like this block
People who want a calm, mouse-only game with a cat theme and no complicated controls.
Cracks in the block
- Poki may show ads around the game; this is controlled by Poki, not by this site.
- The goal is loose and score-driven, so players who prefer a clear ending may find it thin.
- Poki lists the last update as November 2023.

Three small moves
- 1Build towers on a steady base before adding height. A tall stack on a weak footing is the quickest way to undo your own progress.
- 2Pick up shiny items when they are close to the paw rather than chasing them across the screen, since the high-score fever is the part that raises your score fastest.
- 3Try the puzzles slowly the first time. Because the game only uses clicks, you can take as long as you like to plan the next box.
