update details
Cat Herder may appeal to fans of cat video games. This 3D puzzle game with top (and slightly side) camera provides an arcade shepherd simulator experience; only here the focus is not sheep but on representatives of the cat family that need moving through cat herding simulation - managed by cat guys (rather than shepherding simulator). Your task: Drive all animals into special designated areas while all pets behave independently with differing coat colors, preferences and behaviors represented via comic clouds with pictures inside them that represent these intentions - each creature needs its own approach in order to move it from A to B; all puzzles contain riddles built around this gentle complexity!
To control his beasts, the player must utilize various items: catnip, treats, laser pointers and toys with various effects and ways of interaction; cats can be picked up and carried. CH has 40 levels that span 4 houses - their interiors may feature pits or other obstacles like pit teleporters; cards may even be speedrunned through quickly completed stages as rewards; cosmetic items are given out upon quickly finishing locations that can even be worn by your pets!
