COLOR DLC

COLOR brings full color to the ASCII grid and lets you generate scenes with variable character density. The smaller the characters, the higher the resolution of the world you're scanning: same cozy hunt, a much sharper picture.

Kanji DLC

Kanji swaps the Latin character set for Japanese kanji, and it ships with color too. A completely different visual language to get lost in, with a whole new rhythm of recognition as you track down the kittens.

7 brand-new levels

More worlds means more dark little corners for a cat to hide in. This update adds 7 new official levels:

1 new level for the classic ASCII mode
3 new levels for COLOR mode
3 new levels for Kanji mode

Help our little colony grow 🐱

100 Hidden ASCII Cats is free, and it's staying free. We're a tiny indie studio pouring a lot of love (and a lot of content) into this game, and the only thing we ask in return is simple: if you're having fun, leave a review and tell a friend who loves cats and puzzles.

Every single review and every bit of word of mouth helps us more than you can imagine. It's what lets people discover the game, and it's what keeps these free updates coming. We read every review, and your feedback genuinely shapes what we build next.

Thank you, truly. This update exists because of you. Now grab your magnifying glass: there are new cats to find. 🔍

Happy hunting!
