About

Moricat is a multiplayer browser game set in a back alley at night. You play a stray. Rats are food. Every rat makes you bigger, and once you are about a third bigger than another cat, you can eat that cat too.

Everyone online shares one city block: a parking lot, the back of a diner, a laundromat, fire escapes, sewer grates, a dumpster row, a chain-link yard and a loading dock, all joined by one main alley.

How to play

Move with WASD or the arrow keys. On a phone, use the stick in the bottom left. Space or the Pounce button gives a short dash. Duck behind a dumpster, a box pile or a heap of bags to hide from bigger cats. If you stop eating, you slowly lose weight.

Rats

• Alley rat: 1 XP. Everywhere.
• Sewer rat: 3 XP. Darker and quicker, mostly near the sewer grates.
• Golden rat: 15 XP. Rare and fast.
• Boss rat: 40 XP. Takes three pounces.

Events

The lights go out for twenty seconds. A swarm pours out of one drain.

Rounds and ranks

There are no rounds. Your cat stays in the alley until another cat eats it or you leave. There are ten ranks, from Kitten to Fat Cat King.
