How to play Catdoku
Find the right spot
Observe the entire grid before placing a cat. Each row and column can contain only one cat, so eliminate unusable cells based on existing placements.
Check the color zones
Each color zone also contains only one cat. Cross-reference the empty cells in each zone with information from the rows and columns to find the logical choice.
Avoid placing cats too close together
Catdoku includes a special rule: two cats cannot stand next to each other, not even diagonally. After placing a cat, check the surrounding cells to avoid making an incorrect move.
Use grid controls
Click a cell to mark it with an X, double-click to place a cat, and click a marked cell again to clear it. The X marks help you keep track of eliminated positions during your deduction process.
Catdoku tips
- Start with rows, columns, or color zones that have very few empty cells left.
- Immediately mark positions where a cat definitely cannot be placed.
- Re-check affected areas after every cat placement.
- Don't look at zones in isolation; combine information from rows, columns, and color zones.
- Check the diagonal cells as well before confirming a position.
- If you are unsure, continue the process of elimination rather than placing a cat based on a hunch.
How does Catdoku get more difficult?
The starting boards help you get accustomed to the gameplay mechanics with pretty easy layouts.As you go to the next level, the number of cells increases, and the colored areas become more complex and require more deductions to place them correctly.
The new challenges also provide a reason to keep returning to the game, especially for those who enjoy logic puzzle solving in brief bursts.
Summary
Catdoku is a game that mixes cute cat pictures with logic puzzles that require good powers of observation and deduction. If you like casual puzzle games and still want to challenge your thinking skills, open a new board and start finding the right place for each cat.
