About the Game

Unofficial statistics say that one out of every four game developers uses a cat avatar.

By day, they type away. By night, they fix bugs and chase deadlines.

Ideas, issues, and a few unexplainable obsessions all get tucked into something that looks calm on the surface.

Those small frustrations and bits of chaos are like droplets forming on a chilled soda bottle in summer—cool, clear, and quietly slipping down.

And somehow, they land on your desk… and become a game.

It felt like an idea worth trying.

So we made this.

This is a desktop idle simulation game thatlives at the bottom of your screen.

You can resize it and place it anywhere, letting it run alongside your daily workflow.

You play as a cat developer, building a game right on your desktop.

Every keystroke and mouse click contributes directly to your progress.

👉 Your input isn’t just input anymore — it’s development itself.

Development unfolds through light, stage-based challenges:

  • 🐛 Bugs pop up from time to time

  • 📋 New ideas and tasks gradually appear

  • ⏳ Time moves quietly forward

There’s no need to rush. Just keep typing, keep clicking, and things will come together.

In a small corner of your desktop, a game slowly takes shape.

👉 Every input brings it a little closer to completion.

✨ Key Features

  • 🖥️ Runs at the bottom of your desktop, always within reach

  • ⌨️ Every keystroke and click becomes development progress

  • 🎒 Collect gear that unlocks new genres and mechanics

  • 🧩 Mix and match ideas to create unique game concepts

  • 📦 Publish your game and see its store page, reviews, and scores — hit or flop?

As you develop, you’ll collect all kinds of gear and tools.

They don’t just make progress smoother —

they unlock new genres, mechanics, and creative directions.

A strange piece of gear might lead to an unexpected idea,

opening up entirely new paths for your game.

👉 Like an RPG, you collect, swap, and grow — expanding what you can create.

Starting from“New Folder (2)”,

you’ll unlock and combine different:

  • 🎮 Genres

  • ⚙️ Core mechanics

  • 🧠 Development strategies

Each combination leads to a different kind of game.

You experiment, iterate, and discover what emerges this time.

👉 Every run is a new exploration.

When development is complete, you publish your game.

And then comes the moment you’ve been waiting for:

  • 📝 A simulated store page

  • ⭐ Review scores

  • 💬 Player feedback

You’ll see how your creation turns out—

👉 A hidden gem… or a glorious mess?

💡 A Light but Honest Take on Making Games

This isn’t just a game about making games.

It’s about the small habits, ideas, and moments that build up along the way.

Between calm and chaos, routine and inspiration,

between collecting and creating—

you’ll watch one game after another come to life,

right there on your desktop.

And maybe, in the end—
