Fart Cat!

Normally $0.99.

It’s Fart Cat! – the fun for all ages arcade game featuring the finicky kitty with the means to defend his personal space! Help him achieve solitude with two fun and flatulent modes: Fart Cat! and FartCrAfT!

Sometimes cats just want to be left alone! The debut title from Summer Camp Studios, Fart Cat is a race to feed our feline hero enough food so he can launch an offensive (smelling) attack at his affectionate owner.

How to Play
1) Fart Cat will think of a food, and it’s your job to find it on the bottom of the screen and flick it up into his mouth!
2) Feed him as many foods as you can – but act fast! Fart Cat is finicky and may change his mind.
3) Don’t see your food available? Tap on Fart Cat’s belly to “refresh” your options with a solid *POOT*.
4) Once Fart Cat has enough fuel in his belly, tap away to launch a fart so big that it literally clears the room! Crank up the volume, Fart Cat’s owner can only stand so much!
5) Take too long and your game ends with a kindly pet on the head! Sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Fart Cat!

PRO TIP – Go for the high score! Bonus points are awarded for completing a room quickly, streaks of correct foods fed, and for gobbling up any rare golden mice.

BONUS MODE – FartCrAfT
FartCrAfT gives you the chance to be a master chef of olfaction. Feed Fart Cat any combination of the five available ingredients (a mouse, stinky cheese, a fish head, a cheeseburger, and a stack of pancakes). Then tap his tummy to experience your unique creation!

*Featuring unique sounds for each fart!
*Discover all 32 fart recipes to receive the FartCrAfT chef hat!
*Hit the shuffle button to play through your unlocked farts!

Thanks for playing!
