14 DAY TRIAL // Cats are suckers for fast moving objects, and Game for Cats exploits just that, with two game types - one that simulates a laser pointer, the other, a mouse running for cover. The app is free to download from the iTunes App Store and is compatible only with the iPad.
Developed by Nate Murray, Game for Cats is touted as “The World's Best Video Game for Cats!” despite lack of any competition whatsoever.
Nate says he and his team brought the game to the cat shelter to bring some joy into the orphaned cats’ lives.
“Guess what? They loved it! Your cat will too!” he claims.
A video featuring two cats “reviewing” Nate’s game is embedded at the bottom of this article (via OS X Daily).
The game’s official description can be found below.
Chase a laser! Chase a mouse! See how many points your cat can rack up. […] This crazy fast action packed game will keep your cat (and your guests) entertained for hours.
The traditional laser pointer: everyone loves letting their cat chase a laser pointer, right? Well now you can keep your cat entertained without having to exert any effort! Game for Cats will pick random paths that keep your cat's attention.
Free the mouse and then you can chase it! Cat's love this adorable little mouse. He doesn't mind either. But don't take my word for it, let me let him say something:
"Squeak squaker squeak squeakum squeak!" - Mr. Mouse
The mouse level is said to be on sale for a limited time.
“The laser level is free to play as long as you like. However, the mouse level is an in-app-purchase! We are sorry for any confusion on this,” writes Murray.
Game for Cats is localized in English only, and requires iOS 3.2 or later. iPad owners can immediately grab the free app using the link below.
