The same eighteen games. Now in your pocket.
The HeiTongByMeow Arcade is the same eighteen browser games already living at /play/ — Hei's runs, Tong's mischief, Meow's daydreams — wrapped into an actual app, not rebuilt from scratch. It works when the wifi at the vet's office doesn't, remembers exactly where you left off, and asks nothing of you the free website doesn't already ask. Same three rescue cats, same saves, just easier to reach from the couch.
The app itself — icon, screenshots, Game Center hooks, all eighteen games bundled — is built and passing its own test suite. It has not been submitted to the App Store yet. No release date.
None of the games are waiting on this: they're free to play today at heitongbymeow.com/play/. This page is only for the app wrapper — a home-screen icon, offline play, and everything else a native shell adds on top.
What it actually looks like
Real frames from the built app — the same chooser, the same games, the same daily gift you'd get on the website.
Free, with ads. All eighteen games, every mode, all the Cat Cards — the same as the website, which stays free and ad-free forever.
If the ads bother you: $1.99/month or $3.99 once removes them permanently. There's also a $1.99 cosmetic Starter Pack — a frame and a few flourishes, nothing that makes a game easier. Cards are never for sale.
Planned prices, not final — the Arcade app isn't on sale yet, and Apple has the last word on what a tier can be called.
What the app adds on top
Offline-first
Every game after the first load, no connection required — the whole point of taking it out of the browser tab.
Your saves carry over
Streaks, Cat Cards, and daily-seed progress use the same storage the website already trusts — nothing resets when the app installs.
Still free to play
The app has ads: a short one now and then when you go back to the game list (every fifth time, never mid-game, never in your first session), and an optional video if you want a bonus Cat Card. A one-time unlock or a small subscription turns them all off. Nothing you already do for free on the website becomes paid.
Built for the couch
A home-screen icon and a proper app-switcher entry — same eighteen games, same three cats, just one tap closer.
Eighteen games, three cats
Six games each for Hei, Tong, and Meow — endless runners, daily hidden-object puzzles, drawing toys, an idle dreamscape, and more. All of it playable right now, free, at /play/.
Tell me where to reach you
One email, when the app ships. Nothing else — and you can keep playing free at /play/ either way.
