Lane 1
Longcat
Longcat is a grid puzzle. The cat's body keeps growing as it moves, so each level is about finding one path that covers every empty cell without blocking itself.
On the lane
The cat moves across a level and its body grows until it hits an obstacle. The goal is to fill every empty cell.
Because the body stays on the board, a wrong turn can wall the cat in. Poki says that if you get stuck, you can restart the level.

Pointers
- Scan the whole level before the first move and spot the cells that are hard to reach.
- Plan the last cells first: the end of the path is usually the tight part.
- If the path gets blocked, restart the level rather than pushing on.
- On a touch screen, drag in one clear direction instead of small taps.
