A game based on grotesques with never-ending deliberations and chases between a cat and a mouse. Well, that's actually the only content of the whole game. You find yourself in the role of Jerry the mouse and you have to get as many points as possible with your actions, while you determine the playing time yourself (the playing time can be set between 1 and 10 minutes).

It seems incredible, but your playing field becomes a whole... No, I'm really not kidding, you'll just be forced to play over and over on the same piece. If you don't mind the lack of space, imperfect movement and nerve-wracking controls will definitely knock you to your knees. The movement is limited to horizontal and vertical, and as for the keys, you will most likely lose the fact that you simply will not know what to press. The whole game is a bit saved by possible feasible actions (but not as dizzying as you might expect), which include, for example, throwing dynamite and eggs, fencing with forks for knitting or shooting a tomato out of a trap. With each successful action you get a given number of points and vice versa, if Tom does something to you, you lose some points.
