Paquerette Down the Bunburrows

The buns... you HAVE to capture them!! Think outside the bunburrow or get outsmarted by bunnies in this cute pathfinding-based puzzle game. The bunburrows are filled with the cutest bunnies... and you have to capture them. But they won't let you corner them so easily.

  • The bunnies flee when Pâquerette gets too close: they dash through tunnels carefully avoiding dead ends.
  • Use the bunnies' smart yet predictable behaviours against them.
  • Resort to various tools such as traps, pickaxes and carrots when simply manipulating the bunnies' moves isn't quite enough.
  • Capturing bunnies is all fun and games but Pâquerette would also love to find some baby bunnies.
  • Secrets may lurk deep down the bunburrows.
