Candy Cats is a cozy color-matching puzzle where a tray of glossy jelly candies forms a pixel picture — a strawberry, a puppy, a rainbow — and a parade of chubby, hungry kitties arrives to eat it all up. Each kitty rides a conveyor belt that loops around the tray, munching only the candies that match its own color. The challenge is deciding who rides next, keeping the waiting cushions from filling up, and clearing every last candy bite by bite.
No timers pressure the puzzles, so the pace is entirely yours. As trays grow more complex, ice-covered candies, chocolate walls, and mystery kitties raise the stakes. Planning the order carefully is what separates a one-star clear from a perfect three-star run. With 86 candy pictures to work through — sweets, fruits, cute animals, and more — there is plenty to keep a puzzle fan busy.
Send a kitty onto the conveyor belt by selecting one from the queue at the bottom. As it travels around the tray, it eats the first candy of its color in each row and column it passes. If the kitty is not full after completing a lap, it moves to a waiting cushion. Select it again from the cushion to send it back onto the belt for another pass. The goal is to eat every candy on the tray — but if all the cushions fill up, the run ends, so the order in which kitties are dispatched matters throughout.
Some trays introduce ice-covered candies and chocolate walls that complicate the path, while mystery kitties add an extra layer of uncertainty. Two boosters can help in tight spots: the Paw grabs any candy regardless of color, and Mint lets kitties see through candies for an entire level. Replaying any level for a better star rating is always available.
