Casual game · our first fully native game
Kitten Bingo
Cosy picture bingo in a Japanese neko café, where every win spoils a kitten.
The lucky cat calls a picture in Japanese, you stamp it with a paw, and a fast BINGO! wins a gift for your kitten. Learn a little Japanese without trying. iPhone, iPad and Mac.

The idea
Most casual games keep you playing with timers and nagging. We wanted one you come back to because there's a kitten waiting, and you happen to learn a few words of Japanese along the way.
What's clever
A tiny café with a lot going on
Every win goes home to a kitten.
Prizes from the bingo card turn up in the Kitten Play Room: a cardboard box, a velvet bed, a salmon supper. Drag a treat to a kitten, tap for a purr, and keep an eye on the little door in the skirting board.
Thirty kittens, thirty little wishes.
Kittens run from common to legendary. Each one wants something of its own, from three goes in the box to a lucky fortune, built from things already in the game, so every kitten feels personal without 30 extra mini-games.
Japanese, picked up by playing.
Every picture is called aloud in Japanese and written in kana and rōmaji. Ask the lucky cat on the shelf for a quiz: three right answers send treats to every kitten.
Gentle, but not too easy.
The card shuffles every few calls, a fast BINGO! wins a Lightning gift, and the pace grows as you get better. Keep playing after a line for two lines, then a full house.
Pet words, not game words.
You adopt kittens, choose a bingo buddy and earn love hearts. The whole app speaks the language of looking after a pet, in a kawaii neko-café style with sticker outlines and hanko stamps.
One codebase, phone to Mac.
Written in SwiftUI, it runs on iPhone and iPad and ships as its own Mac app, with Game Center achievements and leaderboards shared across all three.
Behind the build
Native. SwiftUI for iPhone and iPad, with a Mac Catalyst build as a separate Mac app.
Tuned by simulation. Treat rewards and pacing were tuned with a simulation of the real card and call order, to be checked against real playtests.
Voice. Buttons and picture words are spoken in Japanese, ready to swap for studio recordings later.
Who it's for
Cat lovers who want a cosy minute
A family-friendly game for anyone who likes cats, cute things or a little Japanese. Audience figures will follow after launch.
