## What is Nekompass?

A compass that cats just won't leave alone!

Nekompass is a compass app where you can play with a cat while finding your bearings.

On screen, you'll find one cat and a ball of yarn that rolls according to your device's orientation. Tilt your device left and right to roll the yarn around — and see if you can catch your cat's attention.

But be warned! Once your cat decides to play with the yarn ball, getting an accurate reading becomes nearly impossible. They'll bat it around, paw it out of place, and refuse to let it go — rendering the compass utterly useless. It's the world's first thoroughly impractical compass.

Additional cats and rooms are available for purchase in the in-app shop. Find your favorite feline companion!

Also features a level (bubble level) and an Ehō compass — handy for Setsubun!
