Gameplay
Background
Along with the release of the game in application stores, the same storyline of the game’s plot appeared, which said that the first owners of Tom refused him and that he was a foundling (this explains the first scene in which Tom helplessly pokes his paws out of a cardboard box).
Gameplay
The essence of the game is raising and feeding a small homeless gray kitten - Tom [10] , who can be called in his own way. In the upper left corner is a circle with numbers and a green stripe. The length of the strip shows how much is left before moving to a new level. With new levels, new things, food and much more that you can buy for game money are opened. As you move to other levels, Tom will grow. At the bottom of the screen are images: a smile, a fork and a spoon, a toilet bowl and a crescent moon with stars. They mean: joy, satiety, satisfaction in needs and drowsiness. The higher the percentage indicated above the sign and the more green the sign, the happier and more cheerful Tom will look. If any percentage drops to 30 or less, the part that was previously white becomes red on the sign. When a percentage drops to zero, the entire sign turns red. From the sign of happiness, the arrow leads the way to the sign in the form of a joystick - this is a portal for mini-games . There are thirteen mini-games: “Flying Tom”, “Connections”, “Memory”, “Bubble Shooter” (originally “Ball Shooting”), “Tower of Cakes”, “2048”, “Interplanetary Jumps”, “Space Piano” "," On the road! "," Jelly "," Tom's Escape "," Salute "and" Only Up! ".
Tom can repeat in a synthesized voice , words spoken for up to 25 seconds at a distance of up to 10 meters from him, “listening” to them - “leaning” your ear against the screen. If you move the screen with your finger , he will follow the player’s movements, twisting and raising his head, moving his eyes back and forth. Also, by paying game money or by logging into Facebook or VKontakte , you can visit Tom friends or from around the world.
