This game is similar in design to Pac-Man. It was one of the first video games to feature looping background music. The player controls a mouse and the objective is to collect the cheese, whilst avoiding the cats. Unlike Pac-Man, there are colour-coded doors in the maze, which are controlled by buttons of the same colour. Also, there is a hawk that flies across the maze, and power-ups (bones) can be saved and later activated by the button.
