Vision

The customer's goal is to clone popular games and create new fun applications based on them. Sweet Cats is a Match-3 game based on the popular Candy Crush.

The player needs to complete the level in a set number of moves. The level is considered passed when the field is empty and there are no tiles with cats left on it. The player gets points when a row of cats is removed. The more points he gets, the more stars he is awarded. Stars increase the player's rating among friends.

About the product

Sweet Cats is a mobile casual match-3 game for iOS, Android devices, and social media platforms. The player arranges 3+ cats of the same color in a row and removes them from the playing field.

The game was developed in collaboration with the Black Wing Foundation.
