CATO is an experience of a cat running on the city rooftops, break flower pots and ladders, scare birds and race cats, oh and not to mention, you can FLY. Fly only for a managed time if you do not wish to be timed out! Collect fishies that the seagulls have brought up there. With the fish coin you can get different attributes to your cat like hats and glasses (more to come). Draw on your custom cat and directly change the appearance of your cat! Enjoy our original style and musical experience, rate and review if we managed to give pleasure.

Read full description

Welcome to Cups Water, a relaxing yet challenging puzzle game that will test your logic and patience! In this vibrant brain-teaser, your objective is to sort the mixed-up colored liquids into separate glass bottles. Pour the water from one cup to another until every bottle contains only a single color. The rules are simple: you can only pour water if it is linked to the same color and there is enough space in the target bottle. Plan your moves carefully to avoid getting stuck! If you hit a dead end, do not worryโ€”you can use helpful in-game boosters to retry, get a hint, or add an extra empty tube to the board. Featuring a striking dark background, bright neon colors, and satisfying firework effects when you complete a bottle, Cups Water offers a visually stunning experience. With hundreds of increasingly difficult levels, this casual game is the perfect way to train your brain and unwind. Download now and start pouring!
