Hi there!


I'm Billie, and I love setting up mazes for my cats to play in. But lately, I've been thinking of a new twist on my favorite game. Instead of just making a maze for my cats, I'm going to put them on Broombas!

I know Mom said not to play with it, but I promise I'll be careful. I'll turn it on low and make sure the cats are safe. And imagine how much fun it'll be to watch them zoom around the maze on their little robotic vehicle!

I'm going to need to scavenge the house for stuff and things to create a super cool maze that'll challenge my cats' Broomba-riding-puzzle-solving skills. I can't wait to see their faces when I show them what we're going to do. This is going to be the best game ever!

Will you stay and play with me?


What is it?

It's an MS-DOS puzzle game with EGA-inspired graphics, where you're tasked with placing objects on the playing field to route Broomba to collect all the stars. The Broomba might be a little faulty because it only makes a left turn when hitting something. In addition to static objects like books and boxes, there are flower pots, balls, and bottles, each with their own behavior and place in the puzzle. The levels gradually get harder, ensuring there's brain-racking to be had.

It takes inspiration from several old games but mainly from The Incredible Machine, I think.

Features

  • 100 levels of Broomb-tastic challenges
  • Level editor to create your own puzzles
  • Some say (mainly me) it has great graphics
  • Music of the MIDI kind
  • Cats, gatos, chats, Katzen, 猫, γάτες & kediler

Shareware Demo

The demo version consists of the first 40 levels and includes the level editor, but without the ability to save your custom levels. The full version will contain more object types and backgrounds.

You are welcome, even encouraged, to take the shareware version and share it with others in any way you'd like.

Asking out of curiousity: "Cats, gatos, chats, Katzen, 猫, γάτες & kediler" - does it mean that the final game will have different language versions? The end made me particularly curious, because I'm learning Turkish.

Meowdy! I'm not sure. I just thought I'd look up how it's written in different languages for fun. It's certainly possible to localize the texts if someone was able to provide the translations. I think I listed Turkish there because I remembered the cat documentary I saw a few years back about stray cats in Istanbul ("Kedi")

If anyone is stuck on levels 8 and 9 here's how to do it:

Ah, interesting! That's a different solution for level 9 than I had designed but I suspected there could be more solutions based on how much room there is to maneuver. My solution relied on knocking the green ball off the table. I'll see if I keep it or tweak it.

l know but l thought that forcing the cat to go 180 degrees back was much easier than using the actual purpose of the green ball.

Woah dude, l thought you would never appear again after city clickers. Really cool game! Hope you the best :)
