About the Game

Welcome to Kimono Cats, a delightful, festival-themed journey where every popped bubble leads to surprises! Set in a vibrant interpretation of old Japan, you’ll join two adorable cats dressed in colorful kimonos on a quest to create the most charming village imaginable. 

Perfect for fans of casual, social, and lighthearted games, Kimono Cats combines stress-free bubble-popping with cooperative community features, ensuring you’ll always have something fun to do – and someone to share it with.

With 18 total levels, 18 mini-games, and over 112 types of bubbles to pop, there’s always something fresh to experience. Are you ready to master carnival-inspired challenges, unlock fun decorations, and see your feline friends grow happier with every play session?

Throw darts at floating bubbles and watch the festival road transform before your eyes. Different bubble types reveal coins, helpful items, or whimsical twists like sudden weather changes and cameo characters.

Spend the coins you earn to decorate and expand your village. Choose from various items – houses, shops, decorations, plants, and more –to craft a unique environment that reflects your style.

Swap gifts, drop kind messages, and visit other players’ villages to spark joy and collaboration: no raiding or stealing – just a warm, supportive community to be part of.

Take a break from popping bubbles to enjoy festival-inspired mini-games. Try your hand at goldfish scooping, music/rhythm challenges, ball tosses, shuriken throwing, and more. Earn hearts and coins while having a blast!

Pick from a variety of cat avatars and customize them with outfits and accessories. Grow closer to your feline friend by feeding them treats and unlocking adorable animations—like hugging, dancing, and playful interactions.

Experience a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with flexible relationship options and a gentle romance/happiness system. Kimono Cats celebrates acceptance, creativity, and positive social interaction.

Unlock new festival roads, mini-games, and cultural backdrops as you level up. Expect to find hidden events, cameo characters, and new decorative collectibles that keep the festival spirit alive!
