KROSHKI — Don't Wake the Cat
A downloadable game for Windows
You are mice. The owner is out, the cat is asleep — time to rob the house!
• Drag loot back to your burrow: coins, cookies, rings. The cheese takes two of you.
• Climb tablecloths, cables and towels. The table is as tall as a building — don't fall.
• Stay quiet! Crashes, running and your real microphone wake the cat. Then run for cover.
• The cat pounces, the robot vacuum sucks up the careless, mousetraps snap, a spider guards the bathroom, and sometimes the owner is home.
• Friend got caught? Drag the body to the burrow to revive them — or just throw them in.
• Every shift is different: loot is dealt out anew, rooms open in a new order, and shifts come with twists (night, hungry cat, cleaning day).
• Burrow shop with 11 items: grappling hook, candy-wrapper parachute, cheese bait, bell, pepper and more.
• Earn crumbs for permanent upgrades and hats. Funny awards at the end of every shift.
• Two locations: the house and the garage (with a pantry and a yard).
• Proximity voice chat — the cat hears you shout, too.
Early prototype. Feedback is very welcome!
