Cat Pizza

A management game in which you are a cat running a small pizzeria: take orders, bake pizza, clean up and spend what you earn on more tables and a longer menu. It suits players who like a steady routine that slowly grows into something bigger.

What the game asks of you

You play the cat behind the counter. Customers, also cats, come in and order; you take the order, bake the pizza and serve it, then clear up after them. The work is physical in the sense that your cat has to walk between the counter, the oven and the tables, so moving around the room efficiently is most of the skill.

Money from each order goes back into the pizzeria. Poki’s description mentions buying more tables and expanding the menu, which is the upgrade loop that keeps the game going. On a computer you move with WASD or the arrow keys; on a phone or tablet an on-screen joystick does the same job. Cat Pizza is Cosmonautic Games’ first game on Poki.

Curator’s notes for a first go

  • Plan a route between counter, oven and tables; with keyboard movement, fewer trips mean more orders served.
  • Cleaning is part of the job in Poki’s own description, so fold it into the route instead of leaving it for later.
  • Decide whether the next earnings go on tables or on the menu before you spend; both are listed ways to grow.
  • On touch screens, keep your thumb on the joystick area so you are not reaching across the screen mid-order.

Who will get the most from it

Players who enjoy a gentle management routine, and anyone who likes the idea of a pizzeria staffed and visited entirely by cats.

Flaws worth knowing

  • Poki is supported by advertising, so expect adverts around the game and sometimes before or between moments of play.
  • The rhythm of take, bake, serve and clean repeats; the variety comes from expansion rather than new kinds of task.
  • On a computer it asks for keyboard movement, which is less relaxed than a click-only game.
