Catagrams is out of the bag

If you’re in need of some relaxation, you’ll be happy to hear that Catagrams has landed on the App Store and Google Play. The game is FREE and features beautiful drawings, a hearty challenge, and a seriously chill atmosphere Some felines in Catagrams enjoy adventure and world travel, while others prefer snoozing on a sleepy summer day. Picture frames abound, but there are missing pieces! Players are tasked with matching threads and creating words – unlocking hand-drawn illustrations and fashionable accessories for each cat. “Daily Puzzles,” which are included in the base game, keep things fresh and are sure to challenge even the sharpest (clawed) of wordsmiths. But wait, there’s more! If players go for the Treat Package in-app purchase, they’re not only helping out the developer but also giving a boost to cat rescue organizations nationwide. Yes, 50% of the proceeds from the Treat Package in-app purchase will go to rotating, cat-focused orgs previously vetted by Ponderosa Games – starting with Happy Cats Haven. Launch Trailer: |

DEVELOPER QUOTES |
“I grew up in Colorado and have always enjoyed reading, gaming, doodling, and travel. Needless to say, I’m also a word nerd and absolutely love cats! In addition to programming, I created all the art in the game – so you could say this is a true labor of love. Catagrams is all of my favorite things wrapped up in one neat, handcrafted package.” – Tisa Foster (Owner & Co-Founder, Ponderosa Games) |
“As a programmer and UI designer, I can say that Catagrams is legitimately fun to play. Tisa came up with the idea while brainstorming game concepts, and it quickly rose to the top of the list because it combines our love of cats and word games. It’s been quite the adventure! We started with a cardboard proof-of-concept and could tell it was fun. Once the full play experience came together, we found ourselves playing it outside of work without even thinking. That’s when we knew it was more than just a cute game; it’s a soothing and addicting timeout from the world! We’re really excited to share it with everyone.” – John Burak (Co-Founder, Ponderosa Games) |
