The game uses a side-view, multi-level stage layout. Mappy moves left and right, climbs between floors, and uses springy doors and bounce points to traverse the building. The goal is to collect all stolen items while avoiding the cat thieves. Timing, positioning, and route planning matter because Mappy's movement is built around quick jumps and controlled landings. Each cleared stage leads to faster and more aggressive enemy patterns.

Characters
Mappy
The police mouse protagonist who recovers the stolen goods.
Meowkies
The cat burglars who patrol the building and chase Mappy.
Strategy
Plan routes to gather nearby items in one pass and avoid unnecessary backtracking. Use doors and bounce points to break pursuit, but always watch your landing spot. When several enemies converge, create space first and return for the remaining items later. Memorizing floor layouts and patrol routes becomes increasingly important in later stages.

Tips and tricks
- Clear upper or edge items first to reduce the chance of being trapped.
- Keep your movement consistent when using spring doors so you do not misjudge the landing.
- If multiple cats gather on one floor, use bounce points to quickly change position and open a safe gap.
