## What is Pile of Cats?

Cats fall. Cats pile up. That is most of it.

Drag along the top of the board, let go, and a cat drops. When two of the same cat touch, they merge into the next one up an eleven-cat chain: Smoke, Cream, Ginger, Blossom, Lilac, Mint, Bluebell, Cocoa, Tuxedo, Frost, and finally Indigo, who takes up rather a lot of the board. Bring two Indigos together and they cash out and leave.

It is all real physics, so nothing lands exactly where you meant it to. The pile settles, shifts, and occasionally betrays you.

WHAT ENDS A RUN

Cats left resting above the line spill out. Five spills and the run is over. You can spend coins to keep going — it clears your three biggest cats and hands back three spills — but the price doubles every time you do it.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH

- The next three cats are always in view, so a drop can be a plan
- A hold slot to set one cat aside, once per drop
- Remove a cat from the pile, 30 coins
- Re-roll what is coming next, 15 coins

THE DAILY CHALLENGE

One board a day, built from the date, so everyone playing that day gets the same cats in the same order. One attempt. There is no online leaderboard and no list of strangers to chase — only your score, saved on your phone alongside your last thirty runs.

COINS AND SKINS

Coins come from playing. Four skins to spend them on: Sunroom, Midnight, Sorbet and Meadow. Nothing here can be bought with money.

THE COLLECTION

The chain sits under the board the whole time. Cats you have never reached are silhouettes; reaching one fills it in for good, and it stays filled.

SOUND AND FEEL

Every cat has its own voice, pitched lower as the cats get bigger, so a long cascade comes out as a falling phrase. The largest merges purr — at roughly the rate a real cat purrs — and on iPhone you feel it as well as hear it. Audio respects the silent switch and mixes with whatever you were already listening to.

FREE, WITH ADS

There is a banner at the bottom of every screen. That is how the game pays for itself. There are no in-app purchases and no subscription, which also means there is no way to turn the banner off. Ad requests are non-personalised.

NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER

Nothing to sign into, nothing to sync, nothing to recover. Your best score, coins, skins and run history live on your phone and nowhere else. Delete the app and they go with it.

iPhone, portrait, one hand.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-09

Minor improvements, iPad support

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-04

Reaching Indigo now throws a party.

The last cat in the chain is the rarest thing that happens in a run, and until now it paid out the same rising number as every other merge. Now the whole cast leaps up out of the bottom of the screen through two cannons of confetti, shouting, and drops back out of frame.

The party is only ever a decoration. The run carries on underneath it, so a drop you were part-way through is never taken as a tap on the reward.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-03

No release notes.
