Аn indirect-control tile-twisting puzzled adventure ...with traps! Molecats is a challenging indirect-control puzzle game that takes place in the weird and beautiful world of... Molecats!

They usually dig into nearby caves to gather delicious ‘shrooms and shiny relics, but mostly get lost along the way.

Along the way Molecats will face lots of dangerous traps, spooky monsters and tricky challenges and meet a whole bunch of strange but interesting creatures.
