Catamouse

The Cat and the Mouse are chasing through the Mad Inventor’s basement.  Many obstacles and surprises await - one-way passages, teleporters, random-teleport contraptions.  Object of the game?  Cat?  Eat the mouse!  Mouse?  Get away to the House before the Cat gets you! Don’t sit around too long, or you might starve!

Two player game controlled by split keyboard on a single computer.  Typical rounds are only about 30 sec, so typically we play a Match to 10 rounds, or 25, or as desired.  It may not be complex, but it is good for as many surprises per second as any game in sight! 

This is a work in progress. In particular, it is a work in search of artwork, perhaps I can find some of that at Kitty Con.

It doesn't yet have integrated instructions, so here they are:

Cat: move with WASD.

Mouse: move with IJKL or arrow keys.

The maze is randomly generated every time. Features don't appear until you move in sight of them. They can include one-way passages, selective passages, teleporters, and randomizers that will send you anywhere!

Special controls: once per round, you may use your Hyperjump, it's like a randomizer when you want it.

What if I'm trapped? If so, press your Bomb key, it will set a three second timer. Then, a bomb will blow up a wall that is limiting you. But it only works if you're really, truly trapped! 

Cat:  Hyperjump=Z, Bomb=Escape

Mouse:  Hyperjump=0, Bomb=9  (keypad recommended if available)

(Oops just for now:  the House sometimes looks like a bright green rectangle.)
