Cattywampus
A downloadable game
While housesitting at a witch's cottage, Sprakz the goblin has misplaced four cats across the mystical realms of the fey! To set things right before the owner returns, he hires you and your companions to launch a most cattywampus rescue mission!
* * *
Venture into the Wampish Woods, an enchanted wilderness protected by the Good Woman, Auntie Syltwist. While departing on a shopping trip she has left her apprentice, Sprakz, in charge of the cottage. But the goblin has accidentally catapulted her four house cats into the lands of the fey!
(It's a long story... involving a malfunctioning vacuum cleaner.)
Desperate to retrieve the cats before Auntie Syltwist returns, Sprakz shows you to the planar gateway in her bedroom and begs you to investigate the mystical worlds beyond. With charm, cunning and expert wrangling skills, you must retrieve the furry fugitives from the planar predicaments they find themselves in, and get home in time for tea.

This Level 2-3 adventure features four rescue missions to embark upon in search of Auntie Syltwist's cats. Hack your way through the menu items on a giant's banquet table while dodging angry wasps. Climb a moldy bookshelf where possum scavengers and ill-tempered dragons dwell. Save an alchemist's airship from the creature that lurks in its air vents. And match wits with a villainous prince at a cosmic masquerade.
Between missions you'll have the hospitality of the Good Woman's cottage, which is not only sentient but very much concerned about good manners. A well-behaved guest can earn magical boons, and help out Sprakz with his various inventions and repair jobs.
Finally, after a last-minute dash to get the house in order, you'll come face-to-face with the powerful witch, Auntie Syltwist, as she returns from her shopping trip. Will she suspect what has happened to her beloved pets? Or will you cover your tracks and pull off the purrfect caper?
