ABOUT THE GAME
Consider the route based on the number of steps remaining and the position of the flag
This is a puzzle where you move your cat up, down, left and right, and think about the path while looking at the number of steps you can take and the placement of flags. Don't stop at just one board, open the map and follow multiple rooms. This is the second part of N Step Steve, released by the author as the final part of the series.
GAMEPLAY
Compare the cat's position and the flag points
Flags with different numbers of dots are lined up on a board made of a white floor and dark walls. The images shown are the same early room, with the cat moving to the next flag. Proceed by looking at the numbers at the top left of the screen and the flag on the board.

Incorporate the number of trips into the route
The cat moves up, down, left and right in square units. The number of steps is limited and can be replenished by touching the flag. It's not just about getting closer to the exit, it's also about which flags you pass along the way.
Rewind one move at a time
Rewind is assigned to the Z key. Solve the puzzle by reversing the steps you took and changing the order in which you move towards the flag and the combination of movements.
Explore using the map
Enter to open the map. In addition to the puzzles in each room, there is also an element of collecting secrets, and the structure deals with exploration and collection to move forward.

- How to see the beginning
- First, check the number in the upper left when you move one square, and compare it with the number when you move to a nearby flag. If you input one move at a time without holding down the button, you can proceed while counting the route.
- Scale and time
- The author is introducing it as a large-scale concluding part of the series. There is no official estimate of the total time required, and the amount of play will vary depending on how far you go with the puzzles in the rooms and the collection of secrets.
