Ponderosa Games has just released Catagrams on the App Store and Google Play. This delightful word game, brimming with cat-titude, is free to download and offers beautiful artwork, challenging puzzles, and a relaxing atmosphere perfect for puzzle enthusiasts.
In Catagrams, some cats are adventurers, while others prefer lazy summer naps. Players must match threads and form words to complete picture frames, unlocking hand-drawn illustrations and stylish accessories for each feline. The game includes “Daily Puzzles” to keep things fresh and challenging for even the sharpest wordsmiths.
But there’s more! By purchasing the Treat Package in-app, players not only support the developers but also contribute to cat rescue organizations. Ponderosa Games has pledged 50% of the proceeds from the Treat Package to various vetted cat-focused organizations, starting with Happy Cats Haven.
Tisa Foster, co-founder of Ponderosa Games, shares her passion: “Growing up in Colorado, I’ve always loved reading, gaming, doodling, and traveling. I’m a word nerd and a cat lover, and I created all the art in the game. Catagrams is a true labor of love, combining all my favorite things into one handcrafted package.”
John Burak, co-founder and programmer, adds, “Catagrams is genuinely fun to play. Tisa came up with the idea, and it quickly became our top project because it merges our love for cats and word games. We started with a cardboard prototype and knew it was special. Once the full game came together, we found ourselves playing it outside of work. It’s more than just a cute game; it’s a soothing and addictive escape from the world. We’re thrilled to share it with everyone.”
