STRAYWOOD: A Witch and Kittens Route Puzzle, Free Demo is a game, paid, with a free browser demo on the store page.
STRAYWOOD is a puzzle game with 40 woods: fly a witch on her broom and carry every lost kitten home, three at a time. Free in the browser for the first 10. Bring every kitten home At moonrise the kittens have strayed into the wood, and each one is waiting by a thicket or along the garden wall. You are the witch. Fly low over the wood floor on your broom, take kittens on board and bring them home to the cottage gate.
The broom holds three, so a night is several trips, and every trip is flown the shortest way round the thickets. The number at the top of the screen, FLOWN, is the night's flying so far, with the leg you are on beside it. Only the shortest way between your stops counts, so where you fly does not matter. Who rides together, and in which order you pick them up, is the whole puzzle.
Fetching the nearest kitten again and again, and going home when the broom is full, leaves a far kitten out on her own and costs a whole trip to fetch her. Every wood has a proved least flying For every wood the game works out the least flying any night could give, trying every way of splitting the litter into trips of three and every order inside each trip. That is the PAR on screen.
