Indie apps for iOS, Mac & Android
Whisker Arcade
8 games. One very happy cat.
An arcade built for cats. You pick a game, set the phone or tablet on the floor, and let your cat hunt. Every game is a full-screen chase with nothing a paw can accidentally tap, and only a human gesture can leave it.
Made for paws
Cats do not read menus, so the games have none. No buttons, no chrome, no ads. Just prey on a screen, waiting to be pounced on.
Leaving a game takes a 3-finger triple-tap, a gesture paws cannot make. Your cat cannot quit mid-hunt or wander into settings, and iOS edge swipes are held back while a game is on screen.
The arcade
A featured pick rotates daily, so the arcade nudges you toward variety.
Prey that plays fair
Real laser pointers never let the cat win. Here, every chase can end in a real catch, and catches are paced so your cat wins often enough to stay interested.
Difficulty adapts too. Prey slows down for beginners and gets craftier as your cat learns its moves.
Matched to your cat's mood
Every game carries an energy tag. Chill games drift and ripple for lazy afternoons; wild ones dart and dodge when the zoomies hit; mixed sits in between.
Sessions also wind down gently instead of stopping cold, the same way real play ends, so your cat is left satisfied rather than wired.
How it works
Set it down and go
Pick a game, place the device on the floor, and step back. Everything from there is your cat's job.
Real catches
Prey flees like prey, but it can be caught. Wins are paced so the hunt stays rewarding instead of frustrating.
Adapts to your cat
The game watches how your cat hunts and tunes the prey to match, from gentle for kittens to crafty for seasoned hunters.
Gentle wind-down
Toward the end of a session the prey slows and the pace eases off, so play ends calmly instead of being cut off mid-pounce.
Human-only exit
A 3-finger triple-tap is the only way out of a game. Every touch is treated as a paw, so palms and pounces never trigger anything by accident.
For the humans
Track play streaks and weekly stats, and unlock little rewards as your cat racks up catches.
