[PC][early 2000s (late 90s?)] Tetris with a mouse controlled net and a fox(?) head
Platform(s): PC (Windows 98?), standalone
Genre: Puzzle
Estimated year of release: 2000-ish, possibly earlier
Graphics/art style: Cartoonish/colorful, the edges of the blocks were kind of smooth/rounded rather than sharp/angular.
Notable characters: There was a scruffy looking fox head in the bottom right(?) corner, its eyes following the mouse cursor.
Notable gameplay mechanics: It played like tetris, but the mouse cursor could work as a net to catch powerups (don't remember what they were). Sometimes the game would be interrupted with a minigame(s?) where you have a cannon at the bottom of the screen and fire blocks out of it to the top of the screen. They'd stick to the blocks at the top of the screen and destroy them if the color matched. Then after some time the game would return to a basic tetris-style game.
Other details: I think there was an instrumental version of a 90s pop song playing?
I'm actually unsure about the exact workings of the minigame or whether I hallucinated some details in the meantime, but I'm 100% sure about the artstyle and the charcter's eyes following the net-shaped mouse cursor that could be used to catch things.
