About Paquerette Down the Bunburrows

Paquerette Down the Bunburrows is a pathfinding-based bunny-catching puzzle game developed by Bunstack and published by Abiding Bridge, released on 2 August 2023 for Windows and Mac. The bunburrows are filled with the cutest bunnies, and your job as the cheerful Pâquerette is to capture them all. The catch is that they will never let you corner them easily, which turns every small tunnel into a delightful little brain teaser.

The core idea is simple and very clever. Whenever Pâquerette gets too close, the bunnies flee, dashing through the tunnels while carefully avoiding dead ends. Their behaviour is smart yet predictable, so the real trick lies in reading how they will move and using that knowledge against them. Step by step you learn to herd a bunny towards a spot where it has nowhere left to run, and the moment of capture is always satisfying.

Each level is carefully crafted to teach you new, surprising and tricky ways of catching bunnies. Early burrows introduce the basics gently, while later ones combine several ideas and demand real planning. When simply manipulating their moves is not quite enough, you can turn to tools such as traps, pickaxes and carrots, each opening fresh possibilities for reshaping a tunnel or luring a runaway into exactly the right place.

The adventure takes you through five bunburrows, each featuring its own distinct 16-bit visual and musical theme. You move from pink earthy tunnels to a blue water-themed burrow and a sandy orange maze, and every area feels fresh to look at and to listen to. A handy map tracks your captures and the depth you have reached, so you always know which corners still hide bunnies waiting to be found.

Between dives you can drop by the surface for a quick chat with Ophéline. She acts like a meanie, but she is really sweet deep down, and she may even offer you some upgrades that help in tougher burrows. These short visits add warmth and humour to the journey, and the charming dialogue gives the cute pixel art world a personality that makes you want to keep digging further down.

Capturing more than 100 bunnies is all fun and games, but Pâquerette would also love to find some baby bunnies, and figuring out how is a mystery of its own. Secrets lurk deep down the bunburrows for curious players, and 79 achievements reward thorough exploration. Thoughtful options such as keyboard-only controls, colour alternatives, play without timed input and saving at any time make the game easy to enjoy at your own pace.

Paquerette Down the Bunburrows runs on Windows 7 SP1 or newer with 2 GB of RAM, DirectX 10 and just 250 MB of storage, and on Mac with macOS 11 Big Sur, an Apple M1 or Intel Core M and 450 MB.
