Line up cute cats, make special cats, untangle the yarn, and raise a kitten of your own. Cat Match is a cozy match-3 puzzle with a soft, hand-drawn look and a virtual pet that lives on your home screen. PUZZLE • Swap neighbouring cats to line up three or more of the same colour. • Match 4 for a Row Cat or Column Cat that clears a whole line. • Match in an L or T for a Boom Cat that blasts everything around it. • Match 5 for a Rainbow Cat that wipes out a whole colour. • Untangle yarn balls, collect colours, and beat the score in 20 handmade levels across six scenes: a sunny garden, a cozy living room, a rooftop at sunset, a fish harbour, a snowy night and a cattery party. • Earn up to three stars on every level. YOUR CAT • Adopt a kitten, name it, and tell it whether you're Mom or Dad. • Feed it, give it water, and play with toys. It gets hungry, bored and thirsty in real time. • Dress it up with hats, collars and shades, and unlock six different cats. • Level it up with XP from every puzzle you win. • A happy cat brings you a gift every day. A cat with an empty bowl for two days will run away and leave a note. Feed it! REWARDS • Daily gift with a 7-day streak that grows every day. • Coins for every star and for replaying your favourite levels. • Twelve achievements to unlock. • Invite friends: they get free coins, and you earn coins when they play. SAVE ANYWHERE • Sign in with Apple, Google or email to keep your stars, coins and cat safe, and play on any of your devices. Cat Match is free to play. Coins can be earned by playing or bought in the shop, and ads can be removed with a one-time purchase.
