Quick answer

A game for cats: mice, bugs, a fish, a butterfly and a laser dot to catch

A game for your cat. Put the phone on the floor and let the hunt begin!

Things that run, fly and swim across the screen:

  • 🐭 mice — dash, freeze and hide behind the screen edge;
  • 🪳 a cockroach — fast and zigzagging;
  • 🧶 a string — wriggles like a snake;
  • 🦋 a butterfly — flutters and sometimes lands;
  • 🐟 a fish — swims in waves and blows bubbles;
  • 🔴 a laser dot — darts around with sudden stops;
  • 🐦 a blue bird, 🪰 a fly, 🐞 a golden ladybug, 🦎 a lizard and ✨ a firefly.

Prey peeks in from the screen edges and hides under a cardboard box and a flower pot; every minute or two the set of critters changes, so the cat does not get bored. Colours are chosen for cat vision — blues and yellow-greens.

Sounds that attract cats: mouse squeaks, rustling, bird chirps, "pss-pss" and bubbles. When the cat catches something, there is a bright flash, a burst of sparks and a chime.

Settings menu (long-press ⚙ in the top-right corner): choose which critters appear, speed, size, volume, lure sounds, flash and score. There is an optional play timer: when it ends, the prey slows down, one last critter waits for a final catch and the screen fades out.

Paw-proof: the screen stays on, system bars are hidden, and exiting requires a double press of Back.

No ads, no internet access, no data collection. All sounds are synthesized by the app itself.

The interface is in English and Russian and follows the system language.

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
