About Cat-A-Gory
Cat A Gory is an off-the-wall word puzzler that will keep you coming back for more. You start the game with 8 lovable Cats strapped with C4!!! As you play the game you guess letters. For each letter, you guess wrong a poor little kitty will explode! With every correct puzzle, you will get 2 cats back. The game is over when you run out of cat.
How to play Cat-A-Gory
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.

Why it is worth playing
The reason Cat-A-Gory holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — puzzle — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
