Inspiration

Cat & Yarn was inspired by the playful antics of real-life cats and their fascination with yarn. The developer, drawing inspiration from Goodgis and other minimalist game designs, aimed to create a simple yet engaging experience that captures the joy of a cat’s playful nature. The sprites and code were crafted by the developer, while sound effects and music were sourced from Pixabay and Freesound to enhance the game’s charm. A recent update improved the yarn sound effects for a more immersive experience.
