Clean Kitty

The pitch

Clean Kitty is a cute physics puzzle game about drawing. Your kitty needs a bath, but the water from the tap won't reach the tub by itself. Draw lines with your finger or mouse to make ramps, walls and funnels that guide the water into the tub. Every level is a small puzzle. Your ink is limited, so plan each line. Rubber ducks, soap bars and pipes drop the moment you finish drawing. Hot red plates turn water into steam, and some levels have two taps to catch at once. Fill the tub with as little ink as possible to earn three stars and a "Purr-fect!" 100 hand-made levels that start easy and get tricky Many different ways to solve each puzzle Relaxing, cozy look, short levels and hints when you're stuck Available in 8 languages

Controls & how it runs

Look at where the tap is and where the tub is. Hold and drag to draw a line. Lines become solid objects that the water flows along. When you let go, the tap turns on. Movable objects (rubber ducks, soap bars, blue pipes and the tub) also start to fall. Plan your line with that in mind. You can keep drawing while the water flows, as long as you have ink left. How to win Fill the tub until the gauge beside it is full, and the level is complete. The more ink you have left, the more stars you get (up to 3). You lose if you run out of ink before drawing a line, or if not enough water reaches the tub. Watch out for Glowing red plates: water that touches them turns to steam. Levels with two taps: catch water from both. Controls Mouse: Hold the left mouse button and drag to draw. Release to finish the line. Touch: Put your finger down and drag to draw. Lift your finger to finish. Use the Hint button to see a suggested line when you're stuck.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a landscape (wide) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet runs wide: landscape screens flatter it, so tip a phone on its side or hand it a tablet or desktop and let it stretch out. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Pro tips for puzzle cabinets

Count what's missing, not what's there. In matching and logic boards the empty spaces and absent pieces usually draw the shape of the solution for you.
Solve the corner first. Constrained edges and locked pieces have the fewest options, which makes them the honest starting point of almost every board here.
If you're stuck, change the order, not the plan. Many boards on this row are the same moves played in a different sequence — the lock was the order all along.

Clean Kitty — quick-fire questions

Does Clean Kitty cost anything to play?

Not a token. The cabinet is free from the first run to the five-hundredth — no wallet, no sign-up, no toll booth hiding three levels in. The adverts around the page are what keep the floor's lights on.

It stands on our Puzzle row — that's the family it plays most like. The pitch above is the publisher's own rundown of what it throws at you and what it hands back.

Can I play Clean Kitty on my phone?

Happily, yes. It runs inside the browser on phones and tablets the same way it does on a computer. This cabinet runs wide: landscape screens flatter it, so tip a phone on its side or hand it a tablet or desktop and let it stretch out.

Do I need to install anything first?

Nothing whatsoever. Clean Kitty is an HTML5 game: hit the start button and it boots on this page, and shutting the tab sweeps the cabinet clean behind you.
