About Catdoku
Catdoku is a fun game where you solve a puzzle by putting all cats in their right spots on a bright grid. The game is inspired by classic deduction puzzles, where you should replace numbers with cute cats and use some simple yet difficult rules to play. You don't have to put cats everywhere in the grid, but find the cells where only the cats can be safely positioned.
Understand the Grid
In each puzzle, there is a certain number of cats you need to put in the right places. There are multiple criteria that your puzzle solution must meet. Cats cannot be placed in the same row or column; only one cat can be in one color, and cats cannot touch each other horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
These rules intersect, so positioning one cat will exclude many options.
Eliminate Impossible Squares
The main way to solve Catdoku is to understand where you can't put cats. X symbols will help you mark these cells as you analyze the grid. A cell can be considered impossible for the following reasons.
Find the Hidden Pattern
Instead of guessing, narrow down the choices until you have only one possibility left for a certain square in a row, column, or colored region. Keep connecting these clues until the whole grid is completed.
Solve Without Wasting Fish
Catdoku encourages logical reasoning since any wrong choice can cost you a fish. Before double-clicking to place the cat, spend some time checking what is happening in the neighborhood. You can use available hints if you get stuck, although it will not be so challenging.
Enjoy Increasing Challenges
With each level, new tasks will become increasingly difficult and help you improve your logic skills. Even the most challenging boards will remain easy on your eyes thanks to the minimalistic style, smooth transitions, and the adorable cat theme.
You will need to click once to place an X and double-click to place a cat. Look for clues, reject bad options, and find a home for every cat.
