About this game

I wanted to keep playing this game on Android O, so lifted the source from AOSP, cleaned it up a bit, fixed some things, and published it here.

In case you're unfamiliar with this game, please see https://www.howtogeek.com/269207/how-to-enable-android-nougats-cat-collecting-easter-egg/ and skip to the step that says "Give the notification bar a couple more tugs, to expose the Quick Settings menu. Then tap 'Edit.'"

*Keep your cats!*
There is experimental support to "teleport" your cats from the built-in game to this game - even across devices - at the source link below.

Ratings and reviews

I loved this game and was happy to install on my S24. However I am only getting very plain cats - not one interesting color yet, just the usual black, white, grey, brown, orange, and cream. I wish I could transfer my purple, pink, and green cats from my old phone (S21). I will probably stop playing soon if there's no real variety, aka special colors. Android 14

Downloaded this because I remembered this old easter egg. It's nothing exciting just random fun. Unlocked this on my old Samsung phone years ago and now I have it again. One thing I hated was losing the 100+ cats. * Update - On One UI 3 now and Neko Cats are back. Too bad if you run the Easter egg on One UI 3 you'll get the new one but issues arise as this app doesn't play nice with the default Neko. Nt sure how to merge or export them. Anyway not this apps fault just what happens 😿.

I have rated this game 1 star in the hopes the developer will see this review so that he may fix the one problem plaguing the majority of people with this app. I downloaded this separate application as opposed to using the built in Easter egg as the built in one had serious latency issues beyond 256 cats. I hoped this version would use a different vector-based drawing system to reduce the latency or remove it altogether; however, this is not the case. I experience the same freezing issues as the original and I hope to see the app updated to address this issue. Thank you!

What's new

Updated for API 34+ devices to satisfy new Google requirements. It wasn't broke but I had to fix it anyway
