About
pawpaw is a game made for cats. Set your iPad or iPhone down flat, tap PLAY, and little critters scurry across the screen for your cat to catch with a tap of the paw.
BUILT FOR CATS
• Ten critters to hunt: ladybugs, feathers, mice, ribbons, crickets, fish, lizards, butterflies, birds and a silent laser dot
• Each one moves like real prey: it darts, freezes, twitches, hops and drifts
• Critters rustle before they run in, and their sounds come from the side they enter
• Hiding spots, like a box, a leaf pile, a lily pad or a snow mound, where critters can't be caught
• Large critters, generous tap areas, multi-touch and drag-to-catch, so every pounce counts
• Dark backgrounds and colors picked with cat vision in mind, and never more than two critters at once
• Smooth motion at up to 120 Hz on supported displays
• The pace adapts during a round, and a critter changes its look after a few catches in a row, so the hunt stays fresh
FOUR PLAYGROUNDS
Crate, Grass, Pond and Snow. Fish only swim in the Pond, and lizards only live on Grass.
ROUNDS YOUR WAY
• 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 2 minutes or untimed Relaxed play
• When a timed round ends, one critter keeps roaming around the results card. Your cat catches it to ask for another round. Choose Keep going, 3 rounds or Stop.
MADE FOR OWNERS TOO
• Only you can leave a game: press and hold the house button. A quick tap from a paw won't do it.
• Rounds pause when you're interrupted, and the screen stays awake while your cat plays
• A profile for every cat, with a name, a face (orange tabby, gray tabby, black, white, calico or Siamese) and its own list of critters
• Stats for each cat: rounds, catches, catches by critter, rounds in the last 7 days, favorite catch and best scores
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads, no accounts, no in-app purchases and no tracking. pawpaw works offline, and everything stays on your device.
PLAY SAFELY
Always watch your cat while it plays. Claws can scratch screens, so a screen protector is a good idea. Set the device flat on a stable, low surface, keep sessions short, and stop if your cat seems stressed or frustrated.
