Hightailed is a puzzle game not unlike the game of chess where the aim is to force your opponent into a position where they cannot move or "Hightail it out of there". You win by either blocking your opponent or avoiding capture yourself for a specified number of rounds. To advance levels you must play as each opposing side, if you win then you may move on. There is also an integrated level editor so if you need a new challenge then you can make your own levels. There are four difficulty levels: from simple (adults) to tough (for children)
