Blending 2014 viral hit game “2048” with 1997 mobile classic “Snake,” and adding cute kittens and an oppressive time factor to the mix, Cat Nigiri’s Kitty Kitchen hit the two main mobile app stores this week. In Kitty Kitchen, the player controls three cute felid-sushis, sliding them toward food dishes on a procedurally generated board, until they run out of calories.
“Our sashimi-bearing mascot has always been very popular among our audience, so I thought it should have a game of its own,” said Nando Guimaraes, studio co-founder and producer. “With that in mind, my associate and I started to conceive a quick, simple game for our beloved character to star in, carefully enough so that it wouldn’t look rushed or shoehorned to fit a pre-existing game mechanic.” Caio Lopez, studio co-founder and designer of Kitty Kitchen, added that they have “picked one of the best directional control schemes for mobiles and integrated it with a fast-paced, frantic gameplay, achieving a game that is both a comfortable puzzle and a quick burst action title at the same time.”
The game, developed using the popular and beginner-friendly engine Game Maker over the course of two months, can be downloaded here for Android, or here for iOS.
