Yarn Rally

What you do

Yarn Rally turns tennis into a warm cat-lounge scramble. You guide Mochi around a soft sunroom court, chase the yarn shadow, and swat the ball back across the rug before your kitten opponent gets the point. Early rallies feel like cute batting practice. Longer rallies get wider, faster, and sillier, until the whole room feels like it is holding its breath for one more paw-swat.

• Portrait-friendly 3D court built like a cozy sunroom diorama with rug lanes, plants, cushions, and a cardboard scratcher bridge.
• A cream-and-apricot player kitten faces three selectable kitten opponents: gentle Mimi, balanced Tilly, and sharp-shot Nova.
• Click, tap, drag, or use keyboard movement to chase the yarn before it gets past you.
• Clean contact sends stronger returns, while longer rallies naturally become wider and harder to cover.
• Yarn ball arcs, bounce shadows, rally pressure, and cute kitten reactions keep each point readable.
• Local best score and shared end-screen score button for quick rematches.

How to play

1. Click or tap where you want Mochi to run on your side of the court.
2. Reach the yarn ball before it bounces past you and Mochi will swat it back.
3. Reach the bounce cleanly to send back a stronger return.
4. Win rallies to score points; first kitten to 7 wins the match.
5. Longer rallies add score and make the next returns wider, faster, and more dramatic.

Controls

• Touch: tap or drag on your side of the court to move Mochi.
• Mouse: click or drag across the lower court.
• Keyboard: use A/D or left/right arrows to move.
• Space: nudge a stronger return when the ball is in range.
• R: restart after a match.

Tips worth knowing

• Watch the yarn shadow first, then send Mochi toward the bounce before it drops.
• Stay near the middle after each swat so you can cover the next bounce.
• Returns become wider as the rally builds, so be ready to move early.
• Do not chase too late; moving early matters more than tapping at the last second.
• Longer rallies are worth more score, even before you win the point.

Accessibility
