KotBaton

KotBaton - Play Online

Fill every tile with a stretching cat. Move in straight lines until you hit walls. If your tail catches your head before the board is full, restart. Plan routes, dodge obstacles, extend that feline body across hundreds of grid puzzles.

How to Play KotBaton

Your goal: grow the cat's body to cover every empty space on the grid. The cat moves in one direction until hitting an obstacle. Touch the tail before filling the board? Level failed. Success demands route planning and obstacle manipulation.

Directional Movement and Collision Logic

WASD or arrow keys steer the cat. Press W or Up to move forward, A or Left to turn left, S or Down to reverse, D or Right to shift right. On touch screens, swipe in your intended direction. The cat slides until it hits a block or boundary—no mid-path stopping. Each move extends the body, shrinking available space. Colliding with your own tail ends the attempt instantly.

Hints and Level Progression

Press Space to activate a hint—shows the next correct move. You get three hints per session; they reset when you restart. Press R to instantly reload the current level. The game offers 200 levels, each introducing new block arrangements and tighter grids. Early puzzles teach basic pathfinding; later stages force multi-step sequences where a single wrong turn traps you. Watch ads to unlock extra hints when you're stuck on a particularly twisted layout.

Strategic Route Planning

Map your full path before the first input. Identify dead-end corners that must be filled last. Use walls to reverse direction and snake back through open tiles. If a section has only one entrance, save it for your final moves. On levels with scattered blocks, weave around them to maximize body length before tackling isolated clusters. Mistakes compound fast—one misplaced turn can leave unreachable gaps. Study the grid, count tiles, then execute with precision.
