CATCULUS

CATCULUS gives familiar addition problems a different format by turning the grid into a small number-search challenge. The pixel-art cat theme adds personality, while the target-based puzzles encourage players to practice mental math and plan each move. Simple controls make it easy to begin, but finding the correct path keeps the brain working throughout each round.

GAME OVERVIEW

Cute cats and quick calculations come together in CATCULUS, a retro-style puzzle game built around one simple question: can you connect the right numbers to hit the target? Each round presents a grid of numbered tiles and a target sum in the center. Your task is to find a path through neighboring tiles whose values add up to that exact number.

Find the Right Numbers in the Grid

Every round begins with a Target Number displayed in the center of the screen. Numbered tiles surround it, and players must connect adjacent tiles to reach the required sum.

Tile selection follows a simple movement rule: each new tile must sit directly beside the previous one, either horizontally or vertically. Diagonal connections are not allowed. The selected values are added together automatically, with the current sum displayed in real time.

This means the challenge involves more than basic addition. Players must look across the grid, consider which neighboring numbers can form the target, and build a valid sequence without losing track of the total.

How to Play

• Check the Target: Look at the number displayed in the center of the grid.
• Start a Selection: Click or touch a numbered tile.
• Connect Adjacent Tiles: Continue selecting tiles horizontally or vertically to add their values.
• Watch the Running Total: Follow the displayed sum as you build your selection.
• Reach the Target: Find a connected sequence whose total matches the required number.
