Frequently Asked Questions
What is DarkLine Paws?
A free browser bundle of three cat mini-games behind one menu: a raycasted first-person maze, a Tic-Tac-Toe duel against an unbeatable cat AI, and a rooftop building-hop runner.
How do I control it?
In the maze: WASD or arrows move, A/D strafe, Q/E or left/right turn, Shift runs, Space is a cosmetic eye-blink. In Tic-Tac-Toe: click an empty cell. In the runner: Space or click jumps. Escape returns to the maze menu from either side game.
What is the goal?
In the maze, reach the glowing portal tile without your health reaching zero from spike tiles. In Tic-Tac-Toe, try to beat or draw the cat (it plays a perfect minimax strategy, so a draw is the best possible outcome). In the runner, hop across as many rooftops as possible to reach your master's house.
Is progress saved?
This build is session-only. There is no save data. Closing the tab resets all three modes.
How big is the download?
About ~36 KB of HTML, JavaScript, and two small WebP images after you press Play. The browser caches it for later visits on the same device.
Does it work on a phone?
The page loads on mobile, but the maze and runner need a keyboard for their default controls; Tic-Tac-Toe works fine with taps. Desktop or laptop is the recommended experience.
Is this open source?
Yes. Adapted from DarkLine-Paws by shaurya6903 (js13kGames 2025, Black Cat theme) under the MIT license. This site build adds noindex on all three engine pages and ships LICENSE plus CREDITS next to the engine.
