“Finally, a game that promotes (and reinforces) positive, long-term mental-health habits! It's enjoyable & the artwork is beautifully done. Daily goals are customizable, but there is a variety of preset goals to choose from to get you started. It's calming at the end of your day and refreshing at the beginning. Doesn't leave you frustrated and mentally depleted like most other games. Plus, magic kitties! ❤️😻”

“It's clear that the people behind this app care about helping people. I am genuinely floored about how focused the game is on self-care and the player. This is especially apparent in the 'free trial' aspect of this app- none of the self-care elements are behind a paywall, and they have an entire system for people to donate full copies of the game to those in financial need. The game is reassuring and never unhealthily pressures. also the animation is so good. I'd say more but I have no more space.”

Ratings and reviews

It's a great app, and it's very relaxing, but I do have one suggestion: add the images for the puzzles to the "downloads" section so we don't have to play them online first. I recently acquired more puzzles but couldn't actually play them because I've been offline the past few days. Edit in response to dev response: I have no issue with the download system. I'm simply suggesting you add the puzzles to it as well

Words cannot express how much I love this. Not only is it cute, simple and clean, but it helps practice self care and the guided practices to help with breathing and anxiety is amazing. I love how it has goals, and extra things like sending Amaru out exploring, and playing games. If I could give more stars, I would have zero hesitation doing so. Amazing app, definitely recommend.

I had been seeing this pop up on the app store for a few years now and I always wondered about it and now I finally tried it. It's so very charming and wholesome. Thank you so much for the key donation system. We have a lot of things to save up and pay for and the fact that I got to get the full experience for free is amazing. I'll definitely pay it back. Thank you for creating the silly little winged cat friend
