Mobile games featuring your favorite animals

Raise your hand if you’ve played Pokemon Go! or Neko Atsume. Now, did you want more from the game? Animal Scene assigned Marielle Almario to find out more about the most popular mobile animal oriented games so you can pick your summer addiction!

Animals in general make for great and fun inspiration for media, just like video games. Building video games around animals can either make plenty of cute sense or make for hilarious absurdities— or both. The games featured here are all available for free on the App Store and Google Play (with the option to use real money for in-app purchases) and, in one way or another, make for pretty good animal friendly pastimes in general.

WHAT: As the name suggests, there are kleptomaniac cats involved. What the game does is that a bunch of cats steal things and bring them to you and whatever item it is will be placed into your room (and just like Neko Atsume you can get new rooms using in-game currency). With roughly 100 items to be stolen—er, added to your room, and with 7 rooms already available, that’s about 700 stolen items. Add in the 100 cats in the initial room you’re given and an additional 30 cats per room, that’s about 280 stray cats stealing other people’s things for you to put into all of these rooms (that are supposedly part of your home).
