Bug Chase is a simple, interactive game designed especially for cats. Bugs move across the screen and react to taps, encouraging natural hunting instincts like watching, pawing, and chasing. The app is intentionally minimal, safe, and distraction-free — just bugs, motion, and fun. Features • Bugs move, wander, and escape across the screen • Designed for cats to tap, chase, or watch • Simple visuals with high contrast and smooth animation • Works on iPhone and iPad • No accounts, no ads, no tracking • Fully playable without any purchase In-App Purchases (Consumables) Bug Chase offers optional consumable in-app purchases that unlock additional bug species only. Each bug species includes: • Species-specific movement patterns • Species-specific animations • Species-specific sound effects Important Notes • No subscriptions • No random rewards or loot boxes • No personal data collection • No camera, microphone, or location access Cats react differently to on-screen stimuli. While many cats enjoy watching or tapping the bugs, not all cats may show interest, and reactions can vary by age, personality, and environment. Bug Chase is made for curious cats — whether they love chasing, watching, or just tapping bugs on the screen. Some pet owners and children may also enjoy interacting with the bugs, but the app is designed first and foremost for cats.
