CatTap is a cat reflex game: tap the right cat at the right time, and dodge the wrong ones. Easy to pick up, hard to put down — perfect for a quick round in line or an hour of pure focus. 6 WORLDS AND 3D BOSSES Make your way through the Alley, the Park, the Docks, the Rooftops and the Forest. Every world ends in a boss with its own mechanic: Alley Crow, Squirrel King, Dock Octopus, Pigeon Storm and Forest Owl. And hidden in the Void, the Cat God is waiting in a 3-act fight: constellations, Stolen Worlds and the cosmic paw. FLYCAT MODE Tap and the cat spins past the scratching posts. A new mode, inside Survival. DAILY CHALLENGE Every day, the same run for every player. A few attempts, one leaderboard just for today. Share your result and challenge your friends. COLLECT AND TRAIN CATS Calico, Tuxedo, Ginger, Grey, Void and rare cats like Ember, Frost and Cosmic. Every cat levels up and unlocks unique abilities — like Nine Lives, which forgives one bad tap per run. Your cats even bring you gifts while you're away. SURVIVAL IN 3 PACES • Normal — the classic warm-up. • Frantic — twice the pace, reflexes on fire. • Chaos — everything speeds up without warning. Lasting 90 seconds here is a badge of honor. LEADERBOARDS, QUESTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS Ranked seasons with prizes, daily quests, login streaks with exclusive rewards and dozens of achievements to hunt. PLAY RIGHT AWAY No sign-up: just open it and play. If you want, sign in with Apple or Google and your progress is saved to the cloud — switch iPhones and pick up where you left off. OFFLINE Plays without internet and syncs when you're back. NO PAYWALL Everything that matters is earned by playing. Gem packs and ad removal are optional — just shortcuts. Made with love by a solo developer. Feedback: dev.raphaelp@gmail.com FlyCat 3D model adapted from "Oiiaioooooiai Cat" by Zhuier (sketchfab.com), licensed CC BY 4.0.
